Deprivation...

It would be nice if I could get to sleep more than an hour or so a night.

But it doesn't seem like that is going to happen. I maybe found a place in Klamath Falls Oregon. If it's still available I'm considering renting there. But I'm not busting my budget for it. Then again if I don't... I may not live much longer.... 😳

🤬 It's 🥵. And I've either got fleas or bedbugs eating me alive and keeping me awake.

I'm going to put flea collars on the cats and dog. But getting rid of them in my bed may mean abandoning all my clothes and car too.

So as mentioned earlier I'm looking into a second (at least) pair of shoes.

I liked the sketchers I had on today, except they were a half size too large.

The other style of sketchers' boots don't come in a wide width, do the pair I tried on was a half size too small... GRRR

Given those choices I may go to the farm and ranch outfitters and pick up another pair of Danner boots.

I'd hoped for something a bit easier on my wallet... But as the sole on my right shoe is separating from the upper I'm definitely going to need shoes as otherwise I have a newish pair of Danner boots and a very well worn (as in letting in the weather) pair of Danner boots.

Oh and slippers for when I don't want to wear boots.

Which all goes to the issue I discussed previously, of getting things out of order.

Never a good thing. But I was tired today and went to sleep early. This of course is the consequences.

I'll roll over, I may even take a Benadryl....

But still I'm awake now!

So, as noted in my last blog, I made a couple of large impulse purchases.... They were the 'Leatherman' knife/multi tool, and a pole saw attachment for my saw.

I regret one of those purchases more than the other.mostly because it wasn't at all on my disorganized list of purchases I intended to make this year.

The other one could have waited a while and probably id have ended up making it online from a different vendor than Walmart.

Anyway if I can spot the receipt the knife is going back and I'll pick up a small satchel from harbor freight which will get a couple or three separate tools that I believe will help me do a better job where I work.

Onto other thoughts, even the tool satchel should wait until I replace my phone.

I picked up an inductive charging pad for my phone, but it's hard wired to plug into a USB-C port...

I'm scratching my head, has anyone seen a wallwart that has a USB-C port? I haven't seen such. Or an adapter.

My phone, three years old, has a micro-USB charging port... Among other minor problems...

So I'm holding it on the short list of things I should replace soon.

On other equipment, I walked through the yard and garden section of the local Walmart on my way home last night. I only intended to buy a couple of items (if I could find them) first was a couple of single gallon two cycle mixers. Second was a Leatherman (or knock off) both of which I found and bought. But I've been thinking about getting the polesaw attachment for my saw (power head) that I picked up last year. So there on the shelf at Walmart, wouldn't you know was a pole saw attachment that should* it says it does, fit my power head.

On other news while using my saw (not in polesaw mode, but in brush trimmer mode
cutting=""
blade="">) this morning I thought maybe I'd picked up a piece of glass and been hit by it. I just took off my boots and a piece of wire had been driven through the boot and at least broke the skin. I just got a tetanus shot the other day,or that would be where I'm headed now!

I'm doing some yard work and hoped to get an hour in, but I'm gimping pretty bad from the bruise from the wire, so probably not 😔.
