Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was of course colder last night than predicted. It was 0 in the fireroom.<\/p>\n

I haven’t had a fire for 3 days. It was warm enough. Besides I needed to preserve wood stores for the cold that was coming back next week or so.<\/p>\n

I went put to get snow so I would have an excuse to snap a few pictures. I didn’ t really need water. I had already filled the cats bowls with store bought water.<\/p>\n

I did need to wash my hair and face.<\/p>\n

This morning, cats got fed, I sawed an 18 foot board into firewood, made kindling, filled the kettle, and as I said got snow.<\/p>\n

Was I feeling extra energetic today? No actually the opposite. I was feeling worse than I had in previous days. I was losing the use of my right arm. Even typing this was difficult.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I had a hard time plugging in a usb cable. Oh well, I can still walk, even though that looks a little hilarious, and I can cut wood. I will keep going. I am sure I just need a hot coffee. Hahaha<\/p>\n

My kidneys hurt, and the pain from those and my lower left side is constant. i feel like that guy lost in the wilderness. You either give up and die or keep plodding along till you can’t.<\/p>\n

My spirit and attitude is fine, not sure why, I mean besides the promise of a hot coffee.<\/p>\n

right now that sounds awesome. I just checked the kettle, not even luke warm. Ask Luke.<\/p>\n

Well the gen needs gassing up and starting.<\/p>\n

Gen started, thermos filled, doors all secured, battery charger checked, I haul my hot water to where the coffee is.<\/p>\n

I was hoping to make coffee, but can’t my coffee cup is full of juice. I need to drink thst first. I needed something the wash down the vitamins anyways.<\/p>\n

I started the xbox so it can do the downloads. More games to play in the near future. I just finished doing all the Halo series except Odst. That game just isn’t fun for me.<\/p>\n

Soon I am off to have breakfast and coffee, coffee, coffee. After that kill monsters and bad Russians. Take care and be safe.<\/p>\n
