Certainly, mostly.

I did get the dryer sorted out, as well as I could.  The outside vent downspout does not come off.  It looks as if it  was rolled, together with the pipe.  Oh, I did... bend it all just a wee.  But it fit back in place, for now.  And I backed the dryer into place, and... think... it is attached.  I just thought how I could check, but won't be doing that tonight.  And, since I was at it, as I suggested, I put the clothes that I had been trying to dry back through for a wash, and am half done with those.  More if you count by parts.  The last half of a load is drying, the other part is folded or waiting to be hung, which will be done shortly.  As well, I did wash the dishes and set them to another hot sudsy soak.  I may yet wash those the final time, then set them to a hot rinse.

Supper was made, too.  I had fish thawed, and thought quinoa would work with it tonight.  My steamer basket was lost, somewhere in the wash, so I simply fried the fish in my recently cleaned cast iron skillet.  That worked well.  I've been working on the skillet, the last few days, getting it larded, warmed, and scraping anything that seems stuck on.  Some people swear by the fond-foundered cast iron.  Myself, I prefer it rather clean and clear.  It depends on if you want that sort of flavor, if you work with gravies and sauces, or like me, if you prefer non-stick properties without excessive oils or fats.  Use more than style based.

Medicine is going in my face, regularly, and set up well enough that I can go a month.  I like to refill the medsets as soon as they run dry.  If I can't, two usually sees me to reason before I run out.  This last time was an exception.  I would by a third, but the truth is, sometimes I will just run dry... on anything, sometimes everything.  With stores in stock, I can usually survive without a trip to the store for a fairly reasonable amount of time.  It isn't the best, but it is better than nothing.  I have done both and much prefer the former.  It isn't just foods I try to keep in stock.  Toilet paper to laundry and regular soap, to... you name it.  Anything I use regularly.  A few months supply for the mundane, a little longer for the vital.  As I have mentioned, I am, mostly, already in survival mode.  It's not perfect, yet, and probably never will be.  But, one item stocked, at a time, up to some reasonable point, and the easier it gets for me in the shorter term, probably in the longer term.  I suppose this may bee some of my cosmic medicine?  Dunno, but it's what I have, so I will take it.

Now, to see if I have enough petrol to push through the dishes and the last of the laundry.  It's not all I have been doing, either.  Little bits and pieces of other things are happening.  I mostly, or completely, cleared the bathroom of tools, putting what I will need for the sink out there, for example.  I didn't get to the sink prep today, but that is coming.  Hopefully tomorrow I can clean and clear the area, and begin sorting pieces and parts and try, once again, to get that arranged.  A fully functioning main kitchen faucet, thus sink, would be nice to have again.  Yes, I can do without.  It just isn't preferred.

Good night.
