This was a tough week.
Bad weather, a tired body, stress, and some other bad spells and downers spilled over me in one week’s time. I had a bad case of fatigue that lasted a few days. At some point I slept nearly 36 hours in two days. I was essentially bed-ridden.
Significant rain delayed the raising of my reciprocal roof (which probably wouldn’t have happened anyway, because I was so fatigued), and put me in a generally sour mood. Then, a bad case of indigestion and a lack of appetite continued beyond my spell of fatigue. But during that, the reciprocal roof went up anyway. Which was a positive thing! But. Now I am planning to redo it, since it’s a bit short of perfect. (But I’m not too sore about that one.) Afterward, more rain came through, harsher indigestion, some bad luck, and other personal things took any kind of potential zap outta me over the rest of the weekend.
This is a new week, however. I’m focusing now on cutting trees for my roof. I can’t worry about the weather, and I can’t try to stick to a non-existent construction schedule. The roof will get re-done in due time.
But damn if it doesn’t feel like the whole world’s pissing on you at times. I rarely get so bleak and bummed out, but last week was my definitely my time to do so.
Time to move on, though.
Yea!
