Just finished jointing the edges of some wood I want to glue up for a carving I'll be starting once my hands are back up to it. I can do that and the glue-up with gimp-like hands.

Watching it rain, thinking about ripping apart an old washer and turning it into a waterwheel for my gutters.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Feeling restless and out of sorts. I want to either lay down and sleep or walk around, but I can't do either because I'm at work and I have to fucking accomplish shit. Needless to say, I'm not actually accomplishing much of anything because I keep thinking about how I feel restless and out of sorts.

Spent most of the afternoon on the 2nd/3rd floor wiring and insulation project. Northwest wall on the 3rd floor and about half of the west wall in my 2nd floor study have now been extended inward to make the 2x4 wall studs into 2x6's, to make room for extra insulation. Still racing against the clock as it's almost cold enough to snow, but because things are steadily moving along a bit every day I'm not in as much of a panic as I was 2 weeks ago. As long as I have some building materials to work with, things should be okay.
And after a busy afternoon of scrambling around in a tiny half-attic and travelling up and down ladders with wood and power tools, I went out and had a cup of coffee and some ice cream.

Bored and frustrated. The thing I thought was going to take up most of my time through the holidays is either delayed or simply not happening, so I really have nothing to do.

Got my grow lights set up and my plants indoors for the winter, before our first freeze of the year.
Last couple years I didn't beat the freeze and had to nurse some sick plants back from the brink.

Only lost three to freezes though.
Rearranging my desk area currently, then more Skyrim. It may be about time to lay off a bit though. I drove past some small red flowers yesterday and thought "I should grab those." Yeah, for my alchemy table.

You're making me bummed that I haven't finished my bathroom remodel yet...
Nor have I caulked the new trim around my office closet.
I'm such a slacker...
