as the World Burns Attic Antics

 Today our Heroine was over come with fatigue and took a 2 Hr nap at 10 am. After the nap she forced herself to leave the house and pick up a hand made gift for her Apprentice sister. because this would get her out of the house to fulfill as promised, (and despite inertia,) our Heroine goal of getting to the torture room and walk 3 miles.

The Bard came home about 5ish and the 2 of them got to work removing the attic door. and replacing a ladder rung that has been missing since they moved it. As a scavenger the Heroine had the wood for all of these projects already. The Bard allowed the Heroine to do most of the sawing because she can run the circular saw lefty and righty and it is easier then shifting the wood. There was no fighting and this was a 2 person job for sure they finished by 6:38 and they can paint the new wooded door another day. 

After that the Heroine sat down twisting wire (making pins) because it was a high fatigue day. Eating and sitting with twisting wire what the rest of the day. Tomorrow there will be lots of coffee. There is much to do before leaving Friday for the land that is High in the middle and round on the sides. Tomorrow there will be more sawing and printing and paining and packing as well as adding a bibliography to her web site, to keep our Heroine very busy tomorrow. Where does the time go. 

Normal world, I have been having a lot of POTs episodes, this entails high pulse rate and low pulse rates.  Tachycardia and Bradycardia also chest pain that is the sternum hurting because of costochondritid. this is just inflammation in the cartilage this tends to happen with a Ehlors Dahnlos Flare often caused from barometer changes or getting into something I am allergic too. I took Zertec and Naproxen.

I am fine this is normal, I put on my big girl pants and get on with things. it is also why I am trying to not over commit myself. just somedays I wish the fire place worked because I just want to curl up in front of it and reward myself by sleeping there. No rest for the wicked so tomorrow will be very full. I need to work on my story telling skills I seem to have slipped in the break
