I'm actually feeling mostly ok right now.  I was mildly tempted to take caffeine today, but took a short nap today instead and have been feeling normal for the rest of this afternoon!  This is no small achievement.  In my experience, cutting caffeine after having been on it regularly, it takes about 1 week for the withdrawal symptoms to play out.

I bought a couple wall hooks for my room.  It's a quality of life improvement for my room.  I like it.  I might be able to buy some of these wall hooks for other purposes too such as mounting makeshift paneling for my bedroom window that can be easily placed and removed.

I put down some mortar cement around the foundation of the house.  I took care of the worst spot outside the house and have maybe one other spot that needs work.  I hope to take care of the rest of the outside this year and over the winter I want to winterize the basement.

I figured out how I want to handle the two bundles of branches in the backyard.  I'll pull branches from both piles and combine them into a third pile.  As I pull the branches out, I'll use the chop saw to chop them into neat manageable branches and then finally dispose of them.
