Good, for a day of rest.

Daily dailies... medicine, brushing teeth, feeding the girls, tending their litter...  To be expected but not always possible.  The only thing I seem to be able to guarantee is feeding the girls, and keeping their water bowl full.  Sometimes that is all my life hangs upon.  But today, and for the last week and change, an almost full regiment of dailies.  This week I am hoping to add morning vitals.  The kitchen table is well cleared enough for that.  Weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar, first thing, before coffee and brushing.  Well, that's the plan.

I did straighten my desktop.  It's not perfect.  There are things I still need to sort.  But I can see most of the surface.  Some of it I will never see, due to a lamp, the computer, and some other gear that belongs.  I can clean and clear more, but as with the kitchen table, I've hit a spot where I don't know what else to do.  For now.  I also tinkered in several other spots.  The footrest could now be used, tools, gear, and equipment were sorted and some of that put up, and the coffee table just has outdoor gear and books, but is otherwise straightened.  I watered the front and a different part of the side lawn and looked the garden over.  It looks like I lost all of the small pepper plants and one of the big plants.  That leaves me with five to six tomato plants and two jalapeno plants.  The ones that are surviving look to be, at this point, a bit over-watered, but otherwise with some hope to them.  Two of the tomato plants have tomatoes on, and those look much better with a bit of water.  So I will give them two to three days before watering again.  As I mentioned, I need to get a new water pressure limiter.  The one I have simply doesn't work.  I should have enough time to buy that and get it installed before the garden needs watered again.

From all else I have been doing, I had plenty of trash to take out this time.  Much of it packing material from orders over the past six months, perhaps year.  I got that together and out to the curb.  I took some recycling out, but had a number of boxes outside, two of them rather large, that needed to be ripped down and stuffed in.  Luckily there was room.  But just.  The half dozen or so little boxes inside will have to wait until next recycling day.

Oh, and a little parting gift for a friend who is going away for a while.  What else would someone like me offer but tools?  Hey, don't knock it.  Tools aren't anything, they are everything.  The first sits between the ears, the rest can be more complicated but are sorely missed when not available.  Plus I am going to give up one of my very own tools... My little flashlight.  I did order another, as a replacement, but while the other tools will (so it was stated) be hear Tuesday, the little flashlight seems to take 12-18 days, or something.  And time is short.  I ordered a multitool, with assorted fittings for it.  A leatherman, the very one I want but have been too cheap to buy, for myself, so far.  I just hate seeing peeps go out there without the right gear.

A little bit of music then on to bed.  Tomorrow?  Hmm, actually yet tonight... a call.  I need to see how my friend is doing and what he is up to, then maybe schedule a day out, even if it is just shopping.  I guess I will more plot the week, and let things fall out from there.  Tomorrow, the back yard will be watered again, for an hour.  I will skip the front yard for a few days.  But the side, and back, actually, both need more.  I need to get in to town, no matter what else.  Groceries and the hardware store.  I'll have to remember to put the list into my phone.  And, more cleaning, clearing, tossing, and straightening.  This week will be a bit lighter, though, with a couple of rest days.  The heavy days will be heavier though.  It's just gotta be.

Good night.
