Well... how is that for effort?

Waking at 5:30ish, I wasn't sure what would happen.  While I didn't feel bad, as I have the last few mornings, I didn't feel all that ambitious either.  Now, I knew there was something about something, this and that.  But the mind was off in it's own little place... places?  Redundancy... definitely one of several places.  Huh?  I can't even remember what I was doing.  Or not doing.  Blogging, just a bit.  Gaming for a bit.  After using the bathroom, I noticed that I had cleared the space, so could shower.  All save one big pot/pan (it's a cross) that I had used to cook beans.  But that was an easy clean.  Dried and put up too, now.  Then a shower.  Right... I needed a shower because I wanted to get the trash out, and there are limits even for ogres.  Yeah.

So, into the shower.  Loverly.  Gosh, I need to take more of those.  But if I don't plum forget, I have dishes in there that I can't quite work through.  Yeah.  Still, I enjoyed.  Then I got dressed, grabbed the immediate trash bags, got those out and the bin to the curb.  Then... I had to think.  I had decided to be rid of the last shot at stock.  Since it didn't gel and was an off-white.  Just... weird.  But, knowing it would be liquid, and needing the change cat litter... right... I bagged some of the litter to go, then poured the stock in.  To my great sadness it was actually gelled.  I am not sure why it took so long to set.  I promise, a day, and two, after... it was still liquid.  Oh well.  Then I found every other odd and end that needed to go, or be dumped, or...  I got what I could.  And, with the stock pot soaking, any bowl or utensil or this and that got tossed into the pot.

Yeah, two more bags, if the second one was only needed because I rushed the first extra bag.  Gah!  No worries, a bag lost to cleanliness is worth the price.  Oh, and I have clothes even to the laundry.  I might do another load shortly.  Or not.  I'm... just going to do what gets done.  I'm not going to push over my edge today.  I might have a lot to offer, but I'm not going to push it or second guess how much.  Work will happen or not.  I am already wonderfully surprised.  If nothing else happens I am good with that.

More to do?  I could work twelve by seven straight and have weeks to go.  Uhrm, if I could.  And if I would.  So, yeah, more to do.  But, for now, a bit more gaming.  The last bit of the work was a sprint to beat the garbage truck.  Yeah, I can work up a sweat.  More so right after a hot shower and a bunch of other projects and chores.  Yeah, I got to it.  I'll know if I am doing good by how fast I cool down.

UPS just showed, part of my monthly order.  A cd, one of the alt groups I have played here for some time.  I have another of their cds on order.  Yeah, I know, cd's are so 21st.  At least I'm not into albums... or worse, just starting an album collection.  Do you realize how fragile those are?  Anyway...  The other thing that arrived is a flavored sweetener, by Da Vinci, and comes in at least vanilla, hazelnut, and caramel.  I didn't realize the "original" was caramel or I might not have ordered two of that one.  I'm a bit... unsteady about caramel, and hazelnut perhaps too.  Why?  Don't ask me what I can't tell you.

Still, I wanted to try the caramel first, since it is the most dubious.  It's how I work.  Bad news first, then we make babies... well... something like that.  It smelled just as awful as I expected.  Yeah, but momma said, before making babies you have to taste it.  WAIT!  I meant taste dinner.  Anyway... so... down the hatch.  Actually?  Not bad.  Not even not bad, it's okay to good.  It tastes like a non-alcoholic (in the rare good way) sweeter whisky or bourbon.  Not bad at all.  Now can I haz baby-making?

A bit of goofing.  But given that it's a rest as needed day, and I've done so well, I... don't mind a little tomfoolery.  Good morning, day, or however this finds you.
