I woke up this morning feeling like I was 394 years old. I got out of bed, had breakfast, sat at the table for a couple of minutes trying to build up some steam, then decided to go back to bed. Surprisingly, I fell back asleep and woke up two hours later. The extra sleep helped quite a bit and I’ve been feeling better today.
Ghosts were a big problem today, whether I was inside or outside. I kept looking back because I was sure there was a car right behind me during my walk, and when I was out playing with the garden I was certain someone was in the driveway, hidden by the deck. Inside was not any better. In hindsight, I should probably have gone the ear defender route, but I didn’t think of it at the time for whatever reason.
The dining room table was getting too out of hand for me so I spent some time tidying some stuff up and putting things in a box instead of spreading them out all over the place. We’ll see how that works out.
I spent a couple of hours designing a laminar flow nozzle. The model made my (somewhat modern) laptop sweat HARD. I’ve never done anything in Fusion before that even remotely bogged down the machine, but today the fans were at high speed and it took anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes to do anything. Then I imported the model into Cura, saw it was going to take days to print, and promptly put it aside. Maybe I’ll try a smaller one to start.
One of the other things that FA let me borrow was a software defined radio (SDR). It’s a fascinating device but there’s a bit of a learning curve to it. It doesn’t help that I don’t know much beyond the most basic-y of basics about radio, but I figured out how to tune in local FM radio stations, and I found quite a few peaks in the spectrum around the frequencies that the airport uses. I think that the SDR would also benefit from being outside the house. I may also look into rigging up an antenna, too.
At my sister’s insistence, J and I watched the first episode of Stranger Things this evening. It’s definitely got our attention, and we’re going to continue watching it. Hopefully it’ll be able to keep up the suspense and momentum that this episode had.
Tomorrow afternoon, J will be coming home a little early from work and taking me to the clinic so I can get some tests done (THANK YOU!!!). Fingers crossed that there won’t be much of a lineup so we can get through there quickly.
Stay safe.
