Bad day - Wednesday 26 May

It is official, this has been a bad day. I guess I have reached the end of my leash. I dropped an air conditioner out a second story window. I might still work with a little body work. I have to have air conditioning when it gets hot like this. I knew today that I was going to have to cut back. It always happens when I get really tired. I make some mistake and something goes wrong. As I tried to get the air conditioner to fit in the opening, somehow, I lost grip and out it went. The cord with plug tried to take the nail of my little finger with it. It is all blue under the nail. It is so dumb, I have put the air conditioner in for years and never had a problem. Yes I am depressed about it. And I feel a little guilty because this is nothing compared to the problems of; Paul, Gabe, DJ and JJ.

And thanks JJ for the post it did help brighten my day. I hope to get more done around here the next week or so because I just bought a $200 air conditioner to replace the one I destroyed. I'm out of money, so I got to cut back until the new month when I get my check.

When I over do it, it takes me days to weeks to get back my strength. The meds help a lot but not as much as I want. When it gets hot and humid it also makes it harder on me. So I thought that I get this air conditioner in and I will get a lot better sleep. Well that didn't work out like I had planned. Yes I do have air conditioning tonight but it cost me a bit.

I seem to think that if I push myself hard enough I will get the job done. But I get less done and I screw something up, every time.

Now yesterday I did get some block down, about 40 or so. I took them home and finish the raised compost bin. I just have to get some worms for it now and make a cover. This kind of composting is called vermicomposting

    I'm sorry you had the problem with the A/C. I have had things like that happen in the past and it truly is depressing. It makes me feel so clumsy and stupid. At least you got past it and now you are sleeping in the cool. I find the best way with something like this is to just try to forget about it and go on. It accomplishes nothing to keep thinking about it. Maybe you can get it working again and put it somewhere else.

    I hope you get to feeling better tomorrow and have a better day.

    Your compost bin looks really nice. Did you mortar the blocks or just stack them?

    We all have bad days and I certainly have mine. But they do pass.

    The compost bin is just stacked. But I need to get a bag of mortar mix so that I can start laying the block for the greenhouse. I want to finish the Round Grove Project first, though I am reconsidering. I think that I would feel so much better about things if I had a few blocks mortared in.
