Holy shit. This can't possibly last, but I've had more good energy days than bad so far this month. The score is seven to five! The only thing dampening my otherwise good mood is knowing it can't last.

Yesterday I did a little cooking, cleaning, and weeding, and found myself out of breath, realizing just how shitty a shape I'm in right now. So I'm making a point of doing what's called exercise snacking. Every hour or so, I jog in place for a minute or two, since hitting the road doesn't count for much. The glider is just way too easy.

Guess who showed up to do the rest of the windows next door? Yeah, they're here now. Seems a little late in the day to get four windows done, and while my schedule certainly could be worse, I hope the rain holds off and that they work fast because I'm starting to sleep in. I've never known them to come before around 10:30, but still. I would definitely like to see this project done and over with. I can hear the reciprocating saw now, although that's not that loud. It wouldn't have woken me up. It's any hammering or banging that's a potential problem. I hope they can get all four windows done today, but I don't think they will. Still hope they're done with everything before I start sleeping in. Even after they got the other windows in, they came around doing some hammering.

Anyway, I now have more hope than ever that I don't have chronic fatigue, which is a huge, huge relief! That was my biggest fear for quite a while, and I just couldn't tell for sure whether or not I had it because I couldn't sleep well enough and was always so tired. If I could just get my nose dealt with, then maybe I could sleep okay for a while until something else fucks with it and my energy levels. I didn't take any antihistamines before bed last time around, and though I did notice one side clogging up, it never got to the point where I felt like I wasn't getting enough air and had to elevate myself or get up and take anything. I didn't have any long periods of being awake either. I don't want to push my luck, though, so I'll take Zyrtec before bed next time around. 

I just really hope they can do all the windows today! I doubt it, though, with the late start they got and the fact that it still gets dark fairly early. I hear talking now. I don't know if it's two workers or just one. Hopefully two, to make it go faster. Tom thinks it's the same two as last time.

Today was the second time Tom noticed Happy running around loose. He said the first time there were no cars in the rednecks' driveway. Yeah, that's something they would do—let it run around loose, figuring everyone knows the damn thing and will be okay with it and not complain since the redneck has been here for a while. Well, as long as it doesn't run up to our place barking, I'm not going to say anything. 

Noticed the honker, who's continuing to be amazingly quiet, closed the blinds of his two closest windows to us. Wonder if it's because he noticed me looking in at him at night, although I didn't think I was that obvious. He was a constable-shitter after all, though. They are trained to notice things, so I guess anything is possible.

We ran out earlier to pick up a medication refill, I did my fifth therapy session with Ash, and that's about it for now. Still working on editing old stories, but only have about half a dozen left to do.
