Lots of work.

I thought getting the trash out, and sorting the recycling would be easy.  Well, it was, in a sense.  It just took longer than I expected.  Really, I was just doing it, with an intent to speed, and there was some speed there.  It just isn't ever as easy as it seems.  Well, and I am fussing with cat litter in the mix, and there have been little side projects that pop up.  Still, I got out what I could.  It does seem to be a recycling day.  I didn't see those bins out last night, but perhaps people take those out in the morning.  Odd, as they come really early.  Then again, I suppose, if some processing goes on with that for folks, and they go to work earlier, then maybe that just works better for them.  Dunno, but I didn't see them last night.  All of it is out waiting.

I lost track of the laundry.  I'll pull the whites and transfer what is in the washer over to dry, but I think that is about it for laundry today.  Efficient?  Maybe.  But it takes an hour, sometimes closer to two, by the machine time.  And the machine time is off by a pretty goodly sum.  I must guess it doesn't count soak cycles in the timing.   Poorly engineered.  I am simply not sure I have two hours in me, plus dealing with what comes out of the dryer.  Yeah, maybe not to town today, definitely not this morning.  Which is fine.  At least I got a serious chunk of mess handled last night, and a load of laundry done with another to be tended from the dryer.  I even found my boots, if not the shoe shine kit...  I'll try to find that before I sleep.  A simple enough chore for this evening.  Though, if I wake in time, and then wake enough, I might still be able to get to the hardware store.  I really want the parts.  I don't even know if the replacement part is what was needed, or more, all that was needed, and whether it works.

I am loving this.  I thought I was going into a crash cycle.  Figuring out that I just needed a little heat fixed things pretty well.  I am still a bit winded from having gone down like that, but I will get my wind back before long, then get to working a few days and having down days when needed.  If I can just work three or four days a week, even just three to four hours a day, and be a bit more active with the little things on the off days, I can really make an improvement in my life, home, and world.  It will definitely lead to me getting out more often.  Simply for supplies.

Hmm?  Oh, food!  I do want to cook that, so I might as well throw another load of laundry in.  I have the few dishes to do in a hot soak, and might kick those out.  Literally, few.  Two dishes and a handful of silverware.  Yeah, a meal right as I am going down for the day will settle me right into sleep.  Nothing like an anchor to find the bottom, and a steady state.  Chicken, pork, or brots though?  Probably a piece of chicken and a brought.  I might even smoke some veggies, or maybe try the canned fruit!  That really is easy and very tasty, for what it is.  Open can, drain, perhaps rinse if you are particular, then set in with whatever is getting the smoke.  I won't be smoking the chicken, just the pork and brots.  Yum!

Later.
