Bancroft:

A nice quiet "do nothing" day. I thought of visiting friends about an hour away but was unmotivated, so I phoned and talked with, mostly the wife, for almost 2 hours. Almost 3 very good hours on the phone with my "daughter". And over an hour with troubled friend - hoping we made a bit of progress this time.

Never left the premises. Carried in the remainder of the wood so it would not get wet; felt like rain all day but has not yet. Sorted out a bit in the shed, dug a bit around the "foundation" -almost non-existent sills (can stick the shovel into the wood!) resting on rocks some places and concrete others. Solution will not be fun but I knew this could happen.

Read, computered and enjoyed looking out the window at the west hill, behind which the sun has already gone. Watched for beaver but no luck. Need binoculars. Washed my hair on the deck with water warmed in microwave. Arranged to pick up an on-sale shop vac at Lowe's tomorrow on my way, and a beautiful second hand screen door from Kijiji - I will pay for it and we can pick it up on the next truck trip.

I believe the new supplements are the reason I am much better today. And I managed to have 3 healthy and moderate meals.
