Well, close.

It only took 8 hours, give or take, to get something arranged. In spite of my efforts, the tv itself will not arrive until Tuesday. I suppose my mother can have one night of no television. The rest of the components are here, now. I just arrived home from my travels, ate a bit, and will rest for a short bit. I do hope to have the stand and home entertainment system together by bedtime. What a day.

I called my friend before I drove to town. He thought running around sounded fun. We had lunch at a sandwich shop. Oddly, they charge more for less meat. They do add provolone cheese. It is odd though, more meat for less? Then a trip to Wal-Mart to look at the television and such, a credit card issue, a drive home to check on that online and by phone, further complications. Then some decision making, a trip back into town to Sears to buy a television. I washed the Xterra, filled the gas tank, dropped my friend off, went to Wal-Mart for components, and finally home again.

I am not sure how much I will get done in the kitchen or anything else, but I am still going. Having not been able to sleep seems to be no problem whatsoever. Weird, but I will take it. I still have this evening and a home bound day tomorrow to do some odds and ends. Let me think this through... Laundry needs doing, probably 2 to 3 loads, light loads from the looks of things. I should sort bedding first, and throw that in. I am not sure how much that will add to the laundry? Cleaning pieces and parts of kitchen gear and placing it on the table, which needs to be well washed and dried first, just from general use though so no real work. And of course, putting the rest of the television subsystems together.

The only thing, I think, that I have not done is to get that final bill sent in the mail. I need to do that very soon. I can always walk it down to the post office even yet this weekend. It will not go out until Monday, but that should be fine.

You know, I really am doing better. Over lack of sleep, a slump day, and no cessation to the complications, I have stuck with things. Last hour hauling, multi-store shopping, heat, and whatever else have not stopped my progress. No, it is not good. A real champ would have had this in hand and done weeks ago. Well, with the wound? Maybe it is okay. Still, I think I have been... lazy too. I do not know for sure anymore. I am pleased though, with this last round of efforts and their fruit, even if it could or should have been done earlier. It is okay.
