Very much relate to the scared dog and not being able to sleep. The dog we said goodbye to last week (old age) was like that. Hope things go relatively well with storms. As far as concentrating one thing that helped me was starting using a pomodoro timer. Basically try to do distraction free focusing for 25 minutes, then take 5 minute break. After a few intervals you get a longer break. It was hard actually staying focused for 25 minutes with things out of my control (dog), but it has helped me from getting off my phone and such. Still need to get better at consistently doing it though

Also neat about the CAD! Hadn't heard of openscad before

I have pretty debilitating adhd and fussing with a timer would honestly shred my mind but I appreciate the suggestion. I know that system works for lots of people and I'm glad it helps you. My wife, bless her, has been handling most of the dog sitting-with even though she's also swamped. I'm just working through the weekend and have done cooking in advance so if I do become productive I can ride the concentration till exhaustion.

The bottom of the box printed and works (I didn't include enough clearance for the sleeves so it's a bit snug but eh. Measurement rather than design problem.
