 The work extension cannot be granted.  I waited two days thinking that I would resume the pace and finish the work. That if I 'rested' that I could get back on track. Nights were okay. Slept good. Impotence.  Impotence again. Realising something is wrong. Did not understand why on day 1 of the decline why I felt as though I had not slept.

I have a cutlass which I keep just in case, and I hope that my hands c...
