Day 2050

 I woke up at 7:30 and played games for about an hour.  Then it was up for [et stuff and breakfast.  After that I did a little surfing.  That didn't last long before I decided to get something accomplished.

I started by rerouting the cord on the hair dryer.  That doesn't sound like much, but it involved unhooking the cord, threading it through the dryer holder, and then rehooking the cord.  It took my spatially challenged self some time to do it.

I went out to the shed and got some tools.  Then I started to install the light I got a few days ago in the bathroom.  The light I was getting power from came out fairly easily.  I could use the fish rod to reach where I wanted the new light, but there was a ceiling support in the way that made things awkward.  Then I measured and drilled the hole for the new light.  It took some finesse to get the end of the fish rod positioned.  I had to tie two washers on the end of a string, tie the string to the end of the fish rod, and drop the washers through the new light hole.

After that it was pretty straightforward to cut the existing light's wires and splice in an extension to the new light.  The final step was attaching the new light to the ceiling.  I was quite proud of myself when I was done.

I was tired when I got done.  I didn't get much sleep last night.  I sat down with Cooper in the recliner and had about a 2 hour nap.  When I woke up it was time for a late lunch - a sandwich.  After lunch was more TV.  No games.  The last tournament has made me want to taper off.

The rest of the afternoon and evening was TV.  Dinner was leftovers.  I was going to go for a walk, but it was 90 degrees.
