How do I de-accelerate?? I need to stop but the brakes don’t work.

Well, my faithful followers know I am referring to “can’t stop,” “one-track-mind,” obsessive-compulsive, etc., etc. ~~ I’m not asking for help with my projects; I’m asking for help so I can slow down!! Monday nights I square dance and I’ve promised myself I won’t overdo during the day. I had the best of intentions: I’d go shopping for paving blocks, metal pipe for TV antenna, and a plumbing fixture or two. Yesterday, Lowe’s; today, Builder’s Supply. Neither retailer had the size fitting I needed for second rain barrel. (First rain barrel has standard size; second rain barrel does not. Frankly, I thought I could buy locally and not order a specialty item. A bilge pump flexible hose  [from Lowe’s] is OK for first rain barrel but too small for second….) ~~ The kind, considerate, thoughtful volunteer knew just what to do!! Now I am prepared for the next major rain storm and can store upwards to one-hundred-thirty gallons of rain water. The last two pictures show a plastic chain that will have rain water “dancing” down the links.
