What a rush.

I simply cannot hurry, as it turns out. I did a good deal of cleaning and sorting, and the dishes were set to soak (again). But I simply ran out of whatever it takes to get things done and the dishes remain in the soak. Today's visitors will be visiting again in a week. I have another opportunity to clean to a new level and have the dishes done, then kept up. Worst case scenario, the house falls apart. Then again, they have seen the worst so this is something more to avoid than to fear.

Some days are tough. Even with the push, and what I did complete, I was using energy I simply did not really have. With a thousand things to do, my body simply wishes to go back to bed and sleepppp! I will resist and try to stay up until this evening. Reading is probably not something I can do, as focus and concentration will come and mostly go. At times I might be able to do a little research online, for snippets of information regarding various topics or product information. I so want to simply crawl back into bed.

I have turned off the furnace, opened the windows, cracked the front door, and am again getting fresh air. With the chill of possible rain riding the breeze, I am not sure how long I will keep things open. Fresh air is worth the slight chill felt for the time being. Even the cats become frisky and playful with fresh air. I do not think they mind the chill at all. I have been using Fabreeze in a few places as well. While not perfect, it is much better. My man-cave bathroom is next to be cleaned. Sweeping and vacuuming the rest of the house is next on the list. I would guess I am nearly half way to having my home prepped for when my mother visits. If company continues to arrive, I should have the incentive to keep my place neat.

I still have business I need to get done. I still have not applied for the tax credit on the purchase of the home and I believe there will be a settlement for the accident from last summer. But how to go about these things. I simply do not know. The sum could come to $20k, perhaps more. Yes, I could use that. I would pay off all minor debts, put a few month's bill expense in savings, and consider what to pay a large chunk of with the remainder (house or car, the car has higher interest and would be much closer to being paid). But the money seems more like a dream, a taunting one, being that I seem autistic or something in my will toward obtaining the money. Bah!

Later.
