Strange.

I think I will get my smaller work load done tonight, and early.  I loaded the containers, glasses, and mugs, preparing them first, into boxes.  Transported them to the basement and found a good place for them.  I did a couple of other smaller things, such as beginning to charge the batteries for the camera.  I have the socks and clothes in easy reach for finishing.  If I do that, I'll do a little bit of looking over the place just to get ready for anything tomorrow.  Then I may simply go to bed a bit earlier tonight.

The camera seems to be on some sort of delay.  I am not getting updates.  It was supposed to be in today.  I have no clue when to expect it, now.  They aren't saying if it was broken, lost, or if there was some other problem.  I would like to have that soon.  UPS has been very good to me.  One mishap in a hundred packages I can manage.  I just wish I had an idea of when it will arrive.  It is merely anticipation, though.  There is no huge race, or hurry, or need.  I have, or will have, everything else in by then.  I have a little box just for all camera related pieces and bits.  I should have my photo editor installed by the time I get the camera as well.  I actually have a minor project, a drywall repair, in mind for my first project walkthrough.  I am interested in taking pictures of my home, with the Christmas lights set up.  I want to get pictures of the girls.  I have asked my friend if he would mind being used for portrait practice.  And I have asked another group of people, tentatively, once I become more practiced, if they would mind me taking some snappy snappies for practice.  Then to edit those a bit and offer the data to whomever.

Tomorrow?  I really am hoping to sweep and vacuum, then prepare the living room for a steam treatment, or three.  That will pretty much be my whole day, I think.  If I finish that tomorrow, I will have to wait for that carpet to dry before figuring what else to do in the cave.  So, it would be a good time to begin tearing into the garage.  Moving stuff, "dusting" or whatever will pass for that out there, sweeping, than arranging this and that.  I didn't start the snow blower yet, so I may get that going, checking the oil first, adding some fresh gas, and perhaps just letting the machine burn through a tank.  Oh, and I suppose I could try to get the twigs burned.  I really don't want those sitting out there all winter.

After that, I am hoping to tear into my bedroom.  Remove everything.  Vacuum and steam vac, and probably just live out of the spare bedroom until that carpet is dry.  Moving some of that will be tricky.  It's not weight so much as fragility and size.  Moving a mountain isn't so much of a problem.  Moving a sand castle is.  I might even see if it needs a coat of paint, and consider that, while I am at it.  Hmm...  I might want to tear out the vanity in the en suit before I do that.  As I said, I plan to simply put heavy, lower hanging, shelving in to replace a vanity in the en suite.  So I will need to paint the bathroom as well, to cover where the old vanity, and mirror I will be removing as well, were.  But painting was on the menu anyway. 

Yes, it's all possible.  I have been keeping up, and doing extra.  Food, mostly, some days.  Sweeping after I drop something on the floor and just once in a while just because.  Keeping up on trash and recycling.  Staying on top of dishes and laundry.  And, as I said, doing more, sometimes much more.  This is good, very good.  I'm liking it.  It's like I've come back to life again, much as that first summer on medicine.  I bet it was lower dose, but I won't swear to it.  Perhaps I have simply burned out on the stuff.  Anyway...  This is about as optimal as I can make it.  Slow but really sure.  Later.

Oh...  I've been ordering fudge for Christmas.  I don't want to order even one more thing, though, this month.  But I really love walnut fudge.  So I looked up a couple of recipes.  I think I should be able to do that easily.  My double boiler, at present, is a chemical one, so I can't use it.  But I do have glass bowls and smaller pots that would work just fine.  The trick is, if you want really good stuff?  Start with quality ingredients.  Finding walnuts that aren't too acidic is going to be a trick, the chocolate shouldn't be too difficult.  Yeah, and it is much cheaper to make.  Well... if I watch it just a bit.  You could spend a fortune if you want some high-falutin' furrin chocolate.  Same with anything, I suppose.
