Took along the little E-PM1 on my walk this morning, this was edited in Photos.
Building a new house occupies a lot of my attention. Including in the wee hours of the morning when I should be sleeping.
Saw the doc the other day. I really like her, I was outlining some courses of action and she said, "This isn't the navy, Mr. Rogers. We don't have to plan for every contingency."
Habits of thought.
We talked about our dreams. I mentioned I dream about the navy a lot, she said she dreams about the army a lot. When she was in med school, she dreamed about being recalled to active duty, and I said, "Oh, no!"
"No," she said, "they were happy dreams because I hated med school."
Anyway, she's smart, funny and going to get me on the tirzepatide GLP-1.
Took the sleep test Thursday night. Probably failed it. Who can sleep with all that crap hanging off of them?
Saw the ophthalmologist yesterday. One eye is a candidate for cataract surgery, the other eye is less so. Wanted to know what my complaint was, and I told him about night driving and glare. Seems at least some of my problem is my "map dot dystrophy" in my left eye, and cataract surgery won't fix that. He said I should be using eye drops at least four times a day, maybe more frequently. Apparently I have "dry eyes." (Which is why they water so much?)
At least the new glasses help a bit. We're going to meet again in six weeks, see how I'm doing with eye drops.
They started landing floor trusses yesterday, then got rained out. Nothing going on today, more rain, though it's intermittent.
Got some more data on the HVAC design. Where we're going to put all this ductwork is a mystery to me. If you ever look at those photos from the interior of the International Space Station, you see a lot of duct lines. Same thing. Put humans in a sealed box without ventilation and bad things happen.
At some point it stops being exciting and interesting and becomes a source of stress and anxiety.
I am past that point.
The beat goes on...
