Better

Feeling a lot better now. Skipped the fitness center tonight. Just giving my body more chance to recover from whatever the hell I've been going through this week. Still not sure what that was. 

That does seem to prove the problem had nothing to do with the CBD. I've been using a lot of that while vaping. Have it mixed with the nicotine liquid. If anything, it may have helped me feel better.

Had enough energy that I finally got up and patched the bedroom ceiling. Still more holes plus some texture work to do. Then painting at some point. Though the plaster blends pretty well. Not perfect but not terrible. I may wait until later, do more texture work over a larger area (like entire rooms) and then paint. 

Fixing up my bedroom will be a lot more work intensive. In the long run, going to build a room length wall unit including closet space and maybe another set of drawers along another wall. Not ceiling height for the second set. Once the new storage is in place, then I'm going to tear out the existing closet. The new unit along the east wall will help insulate the room from temperature and outside noise. Like the Mexican neighbors dogs and loud damn vehicles. 

I think the next project I should tackle is the bathroom ceiling. I'll get that done next week. It should only take one evening for structure. Of course, there will also be plaster and paint to do. It also involves some minor wiring but nothing huge.  

I've been talking about adding more security cameras which can view the street for a while. Found a site which sells 4 hard wired cameras plus a DVR for around $100. Note a separate hard drive must be added for video storage but still not a bad price. The DVR does also have the ability to save video to a USB thumb drive. My original plan was to place a camera on a pole by the street but that poses security and logistic problems. I think if the resolution is good enough, it would be as good or better to mount one camera on each end of the front roof so they view the road. Less visible from the road but maybe a sign will do the job for that. If I place them carefully, they will view the entire neighborhood. I can raise one or more on poles on the roof if necessary. Though I may place a dummy camera on a pole (viewed by the real cameras) which is quite visible from the road. Have to wait and see. I'll be able to afford that when the tax refund comes in.

Expanding my vaping collection. Ordered more tanks, coils and liquid. Trying different equipment. Though I cannot picture myself spending as much money as some people do. Prices for decent equipment are coming down. Some of the coils I ordered are 0.8 ohm resistance. The lower the resistance, the more vapor they emit. Right now I'm using a 1.8 ohm, which is decent. Just trying out the other stuff. My batteries are variable voltage, so if the tanks wind up being too effective I can dial it down. In any case, I will have enough equipment to last for a good while. 

No, I haven't been able to transition to all electronic cigarettes yet. But I have cut back on regular cigarettes. In the long term it will save me money, even though I'm spending some money on it now. Actually, I may be breaking even already, considering that I've been spending less on cigarettes. Difference is that I have to spend more all at once, so I'm more acutely conscious of it. 

Tomato seeds I planted are all coming up nicely (except the latest ones). So they should be a good size by the time I can transplant them out.

Going to rebuild the fence using 2x4's this year to keep the dogs out of the garden and use as a trellis.
