A bit more homework.

.

I have not yet heard from my friend. Perhaps she is really upset. I called again yesterday. It is the last time I will call about the matter. I also did not make the call to the dealership. I do need to make that call, and I am pretty sure it will be done today. I did finish up the kitchen, cleaning all of the dishes there, though cooking and eating, so another pile of dishes is starting. Meh, I have them soaking now so I think they will be done before much longer this morning. As well, my eye has been wandering around the cave. I am being careful with that wandering, but I think the kitchen and bathroom will get mopped, the bedroom will get a rough touch, some laundry will find itself being washed and dried, and the bedding will be cleaned and the bed made. I do not mind having clean bedding, but I hate a made bed… preferring to burrow in blankets and pillows and the comforter. Although, with the blanket my mother made, I might be able to tolerate the rest of the bed being made, with just that blanket and a comforter or lighter other topper for when it is cold or when I feel the need to feel more secure while sleeping.

My rifle should be arriving soon. Since I will need to go out, I will finish up some of my final grocery shopping. I am, unusually, hungry for chicken. I prefer hindquarters, roasted, along with some vegetables. I have not had steamed fresh spinach for some time. I doubt if I can find good squash, but that would be my preferred second vegetable. Lamb is also on my mind. Then again, I have been without meat, for the most part, recently, as I have been unable to get out and shop. I just purchased a ribeye roast, and had it cut to order. Half of it is 1 ¼ half of it 1 ½ inch. And, 10 pounds of ground chuck plus 2 large chuck roasts. Those are my basic meats. Shrimp (jumbo), lamb chops or roasts, chicken hindquarters, and either tilapia or orange roughy round out my very static preferred meats (hey, fish are meat, call it seafood if you will, I call it meat).

As to packing, I think once my room is in a bit better order, I will start there. I suspect many things will be disappeared. I have little interest in moving everything here. Some clothes need to go away. I suppose I could try to find a seamstress to repair a few things, my lady friend has a friend or three who do that. And, some of the clothes are worth the repair costs. But about half or more of what I have in the clothing department simply need to go away. Either size, wear, or dysfunction make them useless. As well, there are bits and pieces of things that are no longer worth keeping. Some things can be given away, like a paintball gun. I will have to see if the neighbor wants his sons to have such things or not. In any case, someone would want some of these things. Lots of stuff, no current interest, yeah, I will be getting rid of things.

I need to figure out how to overcome my exhaustion, however. My last sleep cycle was from 15:30 to 1:30. That after a great deal of sleep the day before. And nearly as much the day before. I have fought sleeping as much as I am able, but when the mind becomes too sluggish to do simple tasks, the eyes burn, and the pain becomes too great, I cede the field. Caffeine has little affect, perhaps adding an hour per pot of coffee, working only for a few hours. Then again, with those hours comes nausea and a greater sleep time. These phases come and go, this latest phase has been in play for 2 or 3 weeks now. I can never tell how long these phases will last. Though stress does not create the phase, it may deepen and perhaps extend it. That is why I cannot have some nag call me 15 times in three weeks. I just try to keep my life as simple as possible for certain topics, such as finances, shopping, and few others.

I may need to sleep, but I think I will try to push it a few hours to wait for a call. Oh, I need to get the trash out too. A few more hours awake are necessary. What a drag, but… Have a good day.
