What to do?

.

A good night for sleep and of rest.  I didn't sleep until midnight thirty.  The nap, while needed, might have done that.  I set the alarm for 10:00, hoping I would rise on my own before that.  Two trips to the loo through the night, but that is the water pill trying to work I suppose.  When I get normalized on those I sleep the whole night, and covet that sleep.  Especially since my en suite bathroom is down and I have to navigate furniture (which I think I am going to fix shortly) and the cool of the night.  I was up by 9:30.  The first thing I did was turn the furnace up.  I might crank it another little bit as I am just not warm.  While 72 is fine once I get warm, I think I need a quick shot of 76 until my bones are toasty.  Then I can coast on that.

The storm clouds still hover, but the sun has come out for just a bit.  With my home mostly sorted, I have been restarting traditions and forging new ones, regarding the "trim" of my home.  Curtains open, at least when it offers some warmth, or sun, in this, the computer, room.  Closing them at dark, or when the cool starts invading through them.  I am keeping, when it gets dark but before bed, the light in the 'hall' to the bathroom lit.  When I go to bed though, I turn the 'hall' light off and turn the bathroom light on, which shines less through the bottom of my bedroom door.  Little things to add to feeding and tending the litter for the girls.  I am feeding them three times a day, with treats in between those times, when I remember.  Sam is going out less and less as the season grows colder.  Eventually she will become a minor basket case.  When it snows, after the cold keeps her in before it snows, if the day is suitable and I keep the drive and walkways clear, she will brave the wet that remains for a little time out.

Terribly tired today.  I have my goals but I know this feeling.  Keeping it simple, doing it in parts, that may be the way to go.  While the sun is shining, I may get back and cut out the part of the ceiling I want to work.  The rest of the work isn't as, to me, light dependent.  The one thing I did not remember to buy was anchors long enough, potentially, to go through the depth of the drywall and the depth of any backing board I might wish to use.  What I have might work, too.  I simply haven't checked that yet.  Never to worry.  I suspect my friend, if his parts came in and his pistols are up to his idea of snuff, will be calling Monday or Tuesday to go for a shoot.  If I don't hear from him by Monday, I will call.  If all else fails, I will be in early in the week for the shoot, so...

Gah!  Can't... wake... up!  Heat, a little more heat.  Could be the ticket.  A bowl of chili while I am at it, if not... quite as big of a bowl as last night.  I was quite hungry, it was quite good, one thing lead to another, and bam...  three quarters of a quart of chili down the gullet.  Meh, it doesn't happen often.  Oh, right, I did a little research on hot sauces, peppers, I might add to my stuff.  I can't swear that I will make this, but I sort of buy the premise.  Store bought stuff often will add the chemical part of the hit to bolster it.  The author of the recipe seems to think (and I generally agree) that this leaves a bit of a chemical taste.  Most other sauces are simply too mild.  So, she went and worked up a recipe.  The difficulty might be finding the peppers, all of them, that are recommended.  It is habanero based.  I will probably start off with milder (store bought) for now.  Then again there probably isn't a lot of choice.  If it is too hot, I can probably work with that, work it down.  If it isn't hot enough I will have to grow my own peppers, which is on the list anyway.  At least I don't have to worry so much about those being stolen by school kids looking for a munch, not more than once, not hereabouts.  Heh.  Still, I'd love to see the "once".  Video-tape that bad-boy.  Oh, the recipe is here (it is a combination recipe/article, if you just want the recipe, scroll down).

Well, on to some more heat, a bite of chili, uhrm, but first I think I will get to cutting the bad drywall in case the sun is retired for the day before I otherwise get to it.  I want that part done.  Later, good day, God bless.
