A slow start.

I did reset the dishes and put the laundry through a tumble in the dryer.  I've fed the girls, though could do some work on the litter boxes.  I may fry eggs, or boil a few, before long.  I will need to check them, make sure the ones I use are good.  I do hope to finish the laundry and dishes, plus the bathroom, and then get trash out.  I've been keeping up on trash.  If you just do normal foods, changing out the trash bag isn't as demanding.  Start with fish and such and keeping up on trash becomes vital.  While everything goes bad at room temperature, nothing goes as bad or as quickly as fish.  Zounds.

If I can get these things done, boxes are next.  I have a bunch of them.  And, being that I plan to go in Wednesday, and my days and nights might be swinging enough, fast enough, to perhaps make it in to town, I will be able to deliver them to the recycling center.  Far too many to put in my bin.  As well, I'll be taking in styrofoam packing.  I'll keep some.  Those make excellent, temporary, hot/cold maintaining devices.  I just don't need that many.  The other thing is, if I have something hot or cold to offer, I don't need them back, or to remember them.  Fire and forget.  Hmm... might be good for fishing, too.  Yes, I'll keep some of those.  Sure, my coolers would work.  But they would begin to smell fishy, and I'm not sure that comes out all that well.

Ah, right... the other thing.  I'm finally in a position where I can begin treating my good clothes.  I may try to get my slacks and sport coat ready for the dry cleaners as well, Wednesday.  I need to shop for button down white, and maybe blue and brown/beige oxfords.  That's what I prefer.  I know I need new ties.  What I have, though nice at one time, have seen better days.  It's difficult to find ties I like, in my size.  I prefer silk.  The designs are difficult.  Roses, in darker colors, for example.  Though French designs, patterns, are well liked hereabouts.  Though all in darker themes and colors.  It's just how I do those things.  I have purchased actual dress socks, have my eye on some actual and better dress shoes, and am considering, in time, a couple of suits.  Yes, I know.  It'll probably take several years, maybe four, to finally complete a meager but functional dress wardrobe.  If I can just survive... and assuming I don't see no reason to stay and head out...  Yeah, it's still an option, though it may not stay an option if between the state and the V.A. I can't get medicine and thus can't keep the license.  I'm... flexible.

Hmm... on to... something or other.  Oh, I want to see if I should keep the duck bones, or if one duck is enough to create a stock.  If not, I'll freeze it, adding it to the next duck remnants.  It will be the first stock I have ever created.  I best get a grocery list for that as well.  I am thinking that will be a first of the month meal, so I have a bit of time.  The rough part is that Mirepoix requires fresh veggies.  Perhaps I can figure out to shop on the day I will be cooking?  Or actually the day after?  Bleh.

Later.
