sundays

Slow and a bit sore today, it feels like Sunday. I’m making my best efforts to get something done, fifteen minutes at a time. I’ve been getting up early a lot. Priorities have been unexpectedly shifted, I’m happy about that, yet vulnerable to it at the same time. I must spend more time practicing keeping the worry down in the times when I feel like I’m on the outside looking in. The times when I stop going and find my mind is sort of a disaster are times where I’m particularly at risk for getting down and experiencing the family trait of worrying too much.

I replaced the electrical sub-panel yesterday. It’s a sub panel off an ancient fuse box where the design appears to have been one #12 wire for each fuse that then connects to other feeders in the walls. When we moved it, there were 30-40 amp fuses which I replaced first thing with 15 amp fuse breakers. The sub circuit panel held the W/D and W/H, but was pretty ancient. I couldn’t acquire fuses for it so I got another and installed it. Today I’m in the midst of pulling the garage off a fuse and putting it on a circuit breaker. This is all motivated by being pretty tired of the circuit breaker tripping when I run the air compressor in the garage. Hopefully this will be some of the last electrical work I’ll have to do here to feel both safe and find it functional.

It’s sort of a drizzly day though. I don’t know what to do with it. I eeked out seven hours of sleep, having gotten home finally at about 3am with Tori and Mom. Yesterday afternoon Wendell and I rode over to Skylark to wait for Hannah to get out of work at her part time job in West Seattle. Then we cruised up to Owl and Thistle for a happy reunion with friends and off to the Shark for Ken’s birthday party. Despite fears of dorkiness it turned out to be a classic shark party and much fun + booze was had. A few of us went to Hurricane to end the night, and I was pretty exhausted by that point.

I’d kind of rather cuddle up somewhere today. Short of that, I suppose I’ll get something done. If I’m lucky, this work will be enough to run the MIG welder in the garage.
