Oh, nearing bedtime.

A very good, if slow, day.  Beside shopping, and some well satisfied cats, I was out of hard cat food and the booing was rather loud, I am well stocked for cooking fresh foods, including adding vegetables.  And more, the cleaning supplies, most of them that I wanted, are now in stock.  I worked on the pressure cooker tonight.  Okay, the hype was definitely more than reality.  It worked better than anything else I have available, however.  And, perhaps, over time, I can renew the pot to a like-new condition.  It is much better.  Further, I bought a cleaner and treatment for the glass cooktop.  I got to that a bit after working on the pan and after supper, then a bit of a rest.  Bringing in all of the purchases wore me out, and I wasn't moving fast anyway.  The stove top is now mirror reflecting clean.  I can't wait to see if cleanup is easier, after applying this stuff.  I'll cook something tomorrow.  And I plan on making egg noodles as well.  Hmm...  I think I have cooling racks, more for cookies, but it should work.  Or I will have to tinkertrain something else.

I have been doing little cleaning jobs, here and there, the last few days.  Little is the operative word.  But I have been looking for the runners, too.  Little by little, while keeping on top of the daily stuff, I am really advancing.  I gave up on finding the runners, so while shopping today, I bought new ones.  I want the carpets cleaned!  Urhm, when I can get to that big of a job.  Perhaps half of the room at a time?  Yes, perhaps.

A few beers tonight, for all my good deeds.  Not much, it seems my thirst has drained away.  I should be getting to bed, perhaps setting the alarm but with room to compensate for the day.  It hasn't been a great deal of effort, but in my recent condition, it has been three or four days worth of effort.  It's just the way it is.  I have found it is easier to work with my body, even in it's dreadful state, than try to whip it around.  I lose on that score, almost... no... every time, for sure, one way or another.

I was watching a show, while eating dinner, tonight.  It looks like a precursor to the Twilight Zone.  That's not what got me.  What did get me was watching a young couple go through various parts of their relationship.  It was so natural, lovely really.  The squabbles, kissing and making up literally or figuratively, playing together, being friends.  The actors did a splendid job.  Relationship between a man and his woman is the funniest cycling of events imaginable.  But... sweet, too.  Yeah, I miss that.  The good and the bad.  At least, from this distance in time, and space.  It could grow on me again, even if I don't really like girls!  Cooties and all, you know.  :)  At least I have known some love in my time, some real love I like to think.  And even remember it fondly.  So little is about THAT, but it is the solution set that makes anything else even possible, for me.  A pleasant television experience, comingled with experience, memory.

Oh, tomorrow?  We will see.  The hope is to work on noodles, start on my bedroom, perhaps steam vacuum some of the carpets, look for simple art supplies,  a little research on propane as I think I am considering some heating, perhaps another stove, and maybe a drier that work off that, and... and...  I don't know?  I guess I will just have to tune in and find out, like the rest of you.  Any ideas?

I ought to get settled and ready for bed.  Good night.
