I have weathered a week at work on half time rations. I spent a lot of time today sleeping. About an hour spent lying in the hammock until the bugs and the dogs became too obnoxious to let me lie in peace.

Another week or so of half time, then up to six hours. I'm getting stronger and longer every day. The shortest of money is a little annoying, but hey, we've got a roof over our heads. Food is plentiful.

Life is good.
