I realise that taking time out for myself is very important. It gives me the energy to reenter the fight. Although I sometimes need to force myself it is for the greater good.
I still love hand tools like a manual screwdriver and saw but when it comes to getting things done in a timely manner I will take any help I can get. The log splitter is electric and surprisingly quiet. The axe will not get cobwebs as there are always stubborn pieces I can take my anger out on.
Good! And if it's any consolation you're in dubious company XD
