More, less, about the same?

I did finish the cat litter boxes.  The last is drying and should be ready... now.  Trash is out, if I did have to sweep.  I tried to pull the bag, but with a minor tear in it, some of the littler spilled.  I just took the container out, bag in.  I didn't get to the bathroom, the little bit of sweeping, and such.  I did, however, rearrange my tool chests, loading what I wanted in what I wanted loaded, for now.  I decided to wash my old tool kit.  It will be hand for smaller tools, or I might set it up for bike/small mechanical, or even put tools in it just for the vehicle.  I'm considering.  I did a number of other small tasks as well.  It just seems, no matter how I try to focus, I rarely get exactly what I planned.  In this case, it was a trade, and I did prefer the work that was done.  It wasn't a mistake, just a mistake in evaluating my plan.  A load of laundry tomorrow, and the bathroom will get cleaned.  I may see about replacing the screen on the faucet in the bathroom when I fill that last litter box and clean out the tool box.  It's plastic, and soaking in hot sudsy water at the moment. 

I did order myself a Christmas present.  I looked over finances, and thought about it.  I've been thinking about it all year, and actually for the last several years.  All I will say is that it requires lenses.  I went, initially, solely, with a 50mm, and have a 40mm (macro) for next month, and perhaps a 55-300mm for spring.  Of course, you don't ever just buy an item like this.  There are bits, pieces, and a carrying option, rechargeable batteries, and... well...  Still, it was on sale.  I spent less on exactly what I wanted, and kit, than I would have spent for the body alone just five or six months ago, when I lasted checked.  I thought about a computer, but... what I want is a bit much.  Oh, yes, I am watching things.  I have a hog coming in, a consideration for a side of beef, and a Christmas present that might come soon or late.  I have been watching my wallet, closely...  save when I'm not watching it, but then I'm just not spending or doing anything else. 

It's wonderful to have the Christmas lights up.  The next time I am in town, I will look for (another) timer, and more extension cords.  If it works well, and weather doesn't close in, I may get the upper tier of lights going as well.  A subject for my Christmas present.  I have to wonder how long before the girls get tired of me chasing them around, snappy snapping?  Or... whoever, or whatever.  I have seen views, lately, that made me wish I had a camera.  Just earlier today, we had clouds coming over the mountains to my southwest.  But there was a broken line, somewhat resembling a halo, where the sun was shooting past the mountain clouds and hitting the higher clouds to create a golden line.  It was... awesome.  Not sure the 50mm will do that justice, and I'm sure the 40mm wouldn't as it is more for macro (as I begin cooking, I may catalog my dishes, and any things I make or do that fit with a macro, even repairs and such).  Yeah... well...  We'll see.

Good night.
