Saturday I had plans to help a guy move some 32′ pressure-treated 6×12’s down onto his boat dock so he could use them to hold up the front of his boathouse (a house for his half-million dollar boat). I was getting over my virus, or so I though. I was out in the 95°F heat all day. Turns out that it wiped me out and I slept for 12 hours that night. It also made something hurt in the lower abdominal area, so I felt fine while I was lying down but felt intense cramping when I stood up. That was a joy. Felt a little better today, but not great. And tomorrow work starts again.

Traffic is going to be hell again. I don’t understand why traffic is so much better when school is out. I can understand the morning traffic, since everyone is trying to get to work and school at the same time. But why is evening traffic so much worse? I’m sure there’s a reason, but knowing it isn’t going to make my commute any better. I guess I better hope that the Advil and the iPod hold up tomorrow.
