Day 2778 Fighting to stay awake

24th March 2035

Snow returned to Holland, maybe just a sprinkle, but it was there, and it was cold.

We had to take a dresser to Grand Rapids, it was one that Kelli did on her own, it looked great, but it was a heavy beast.

The address was next to the highway, we had to get it out the truck, carry it across a wide cycle way, up some rickety steps and into a porch, not the easiest delivery. The thought of falling through the steps concerned me, but they stayed intact.

We then had to rush back to sort out Kelli’s tax returns. 

I was suffering, although not a brilliant night, the jet lag was catching up with me. It takes a couple of days to readjust my internal clock.

All the way back I had to force myself to stay awake, my eyes felt like they were full of sand, even a strong cup of coffee failed to boost me.

However I did mange to scrape a large dresser top and start to repair a cracked drawer front.

Kelli was amazed that I even managed to do that.
