What to do?

.
.
I did do the morning routine, as I expected.  It isn't, as I have suggested to family, taking medications and stats daily that fails.  It is keeping up on doctor appointments and such.  Hmm, today, in an hour so I don't mess with the lunchtimes and all that, I should call to see if I can get my primary physician moved to SLC.  The problem, at this point, is figuring out what to do.  I have had someone here for the last three weeks with more job prospects than a quest giver in EverQuest!  :p  And, of course, we didn't get everything done plus some of what was done has to be revisited.  The thing is I am still quite wore out.

I started by looking through my top tool drawer.  I have begun sorting that out.  I... actually do have quite a set of tools.  Oh, not by professional standards.  Any plumber or auto mechanic, even most farmers, have much more serious tools.  But for homeowners, I have the beginnings of a serious set of tools for a home diy'er.  Well, and there are more things on the list, now to include expendables and tools for drywall repair.  However, other than a very rough sorting, the tools are mixed and matched.  More, when I finish using a tool, so long as it gets back to the general set of drawers and cabinets, that is enough.  Which means my tools are a disorganized collection of everything in three huge drawers and a medium wall cabinet (actually two cabinets, some tools were too big so have gone into a larger wall cabinet).  Anyway, I started... sorting.  Beside tools, I have fasteners, padlocks, tapes of various sorts, and such.  I finally wrestled a very long extension cord onto a reel while my mother was here (much to her surprise and pleasure, and mine).  I bought two shorter ones as well, as much for the Christmas lights (as it turns out) as to have some handier power tool cords.  Along with tools and fasteners is a decent collection of the rest of the things that might come in handy, from sand paper for doing things by hand when necessary to glues and such.

Well, I did dig into that first top drawer.  I am not finished, but standing the whole time, especially while I am this tired, just won't do.  I need to get a chair over there and just tinker.  I am giving my legs a break, playing a new game.  I may revisit Skyrim in the future, but for now...  I'm burned out on it.  I guess I am disappointed that I can't keep up doing things like when my mother was here.  Then again, and as I said, I doubt if she works this hard for this long at her home.  She keeps on top of things, which means lots of little work but little big work (save when it is time for her to do her carpets or such).  Crazy woman types, crazy like a fox sometimes.  In any case, I am hoping to stay more on top of things, plus do a few more things, plus do some repairs.  Yeah, that's pushing it, for me.  But I can't quite stop thinking that if I can keep up and get a bit ahead, I will eventually be set enough to just keep up alone.  Okay, I lie.  If I get that caught up I will more likely try to push on to rebuilding lots of things, starting with my home electric system.  I just don't want to let the advantage I gained having my mother here slip completely from my grasp.  To be honest, despite already having received inheritance, I consider her work as additional inheritance, not so much simply as a favor or care.  As such, it is... a valued item, or works of value, or some such... not to be squandered.  I will do my best.

Back to the drawer(s and maybe cabinet(s)) I suppose.  But this time with a chair.   After those?  Perhaps my other small areas, like the reloading station room and maybe the upstairs.  When I get back on my feet a bit?  Then I would like to hit my bedroom and ensuite bath, both for their own reasons as well as prep to make a final push to get the water heater replaced in there.  Hmm, I might have a much easier to live in home by the time my mother returns?  We will see.

Get to it!  Good day.
