Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

I rested a bit beyond long enough for my muscles to stop trembling, and went back to have another look at the ladder situation. I think I see another trick to try, but the wind has picked up enough to be an obstacle in its own right. So I lowered the ladder to the ground to keep it from banging around and breaking windows if we do get the predicted thunderstorm, and left the rope attached so I can try again tomorrow.

I'm not looking forward to dealing with water coming in all over the place again. We had another brief light rain that wasn't hard enough for me to notice anything dripping, but thunderstorm rates of rainfall are going to drive more water into places on the first and second floors that haven't finished drying out from Friday yet.

I think I'm just too tired to walk to the pharmacy today. (I'd have to make up my mind in the next few minutes -- it's a 15-20 minute walk and they close at 17:00.) I think I have one more dose of Propanalol left ... I hope I do, or I'm not likely to feel up to walking that far tomorrow either (it's what keeps the migraines down to a merely annoying frequency instead of the nearly constant migraine symptoms[*] I had for several months before I started taking it -- I take it twice a day but I skipped it this morning so as to be able to take it tonight). I do have Ultram left. My other meds I can deal with missing a dose or two (though I guess this wouldn't be the time to pig out on carbohydrates). So. Tomorrow. Pharmacy early, then try again to get the neighbour's ladder on top of my house. Tonight, I just have to hope the rain doesn't last long (or doesn't come).

[*] Not the blinding headache the whole time, though I had far too many of those too -- mostly weird effects in my peripheral vision, dizziness, time sense screwed up, colours looking wrong, feeling unsafe to drive a lot of the time. It sucked. (It was what was finally bad enough to get me to find the free clinic (which was later subsumed by the state's poor-folk health plan that started up a about two years ago).) All much less frequent on the Propanalol.
