Send more lawn. This one’s nearly done.
Status:
Mostly a rest day today, although I did find myself re-wiring the lights outside the shed this afternoon. A quirk of my condition is as I get tired I can get what I’m assuming is an adrenaline boost, which translates as a determination to do a thing even if I maybe shouldn’t. I’m better at managing this than I was but even so I didn’t feel great after and this evening has been one of thick heads and sore limbs.
Still, the lighting in the rabbit run is now somewhat less unsatisfactory, and the rabbits got an extra long session on the lawn, so that’s something.
