Tiyerd
It was another good night's sleep for all three of us. So, I felt well rested in the morning and was getting a little bored (first danger sign). After breakfast I toured the garage which is officially my space in the house and reviewed all the remaining jobs that are left. My eye was caught by a very tall stack of wheels fitted with Winter tires for our 2 cars and I remembered seeing that 10-15 cm of snow was forecast for later this week. Since Cheryl is doing most of the driving I realized that it was time to change her wheels. I was mostly operating in my normal engineer mode and proceeded to put her car in the garage and changed two of the wheels. There was a teeny non-engineer part of me that was screaming "Slow Down", "Stop", "Get help"! Eventually I realized that I was doing what most people would classify as overdoing it. When Cheryl discovered the crime scene she said "wait till Bill gets here and he can help you finish".
I don't think that was her first thought but she is being really kind. So later, with Bill's help for the strong arm bits we finished the job. It was a good lesson for me that my judgment isn't always good so in future I will ask Cheryl to approve my plans for the day. Now I wonder how I will remember to do that.
I had an hour nap before lunch but in the afternoon I wasn't feeling well and had a temperature of 38.5 C. I think that the raised temperature was a warning sign that I was doing too much so I am resting the rest of the day and will bed down early.
