Still feeling it.

Too much sleep.  I woke from time to time I simply couldn't stay awake.  I did make an effort several times.  Too tired and still sore.  I had hoped to sleep beyond the soreness.  I don't think I can do much about the exhaustion.  It simply has to be lived through.  It's not terrible, just uncomfortable.  I have definitely had worse.  I am sure worse is coming, soon or late.

Before I start messing with the dishes, I want to get a shower in.  Maybe a bath.  I haven't had a good long soak in quite some time.  With the water softener working again, I really think that might be even better than before.  With my new dry shampoo method, I won't need a shower after to wash my hair.  Yeah, I'm picky, up to a point.  If I am going to do something, I need it to be done to completion, one way or another.  Half-baked simply won't do.

Another project I would like to arrange this month is the production of a stand upon which to place pots for growing herbs and spices.  Something I can set up for what light there, whichever season, then remove as needed due to excess heat or cold by the windows.  Perhaps something with a bar or two, with which to attach lighting and which would be adjustable.  It needs to be light enough to be mobile, but strong enough to handle being moved under load.  No clue.  I'm not going to start with a template.  I will simply buy various wood portions, see what else I have around as to supplies, and then get to it... or not.  Hmm... might want to consider a removable mesh device to keep the girls out.  Between wanting to dig and chew on greens, or just some unnatural hate of some plants, the need for protection is real.  Fresh herbs and spices are definitely worth it, IF you can get it all together and going and maintain it.  It's a bit of a trick, but would definitely save coin in the long run.  A bottle of thyme is, like, $5.  Seriously?  That is usury, in my opinion.  Usury?  Something like it.

Well, on to a movie or a show, perhaps a start of the X-files series.  I could begin chopping the mushrooms.  If I didn't mention it, after returning home I realized I didn't have some items, so I went back in to the store.  I have all that I need for that.  Plus I could make coleslaw... I have what I need for the dressing, some other dressings, and mayo too.  I'd like to get several of those things set up to go with salad, and make some slaw as well.  But, I can dice the mushrooms will comfortably watching something.  I'll make lamb chops again this evening, which will go quite well with either the slaw or a salad.  By which time I should have the mushrooms desiccating.  With the dehydrator, I'll finish the mushroom bits tomorrow... or start that.  Some things take a long time to dry.

Anything else that might get done will be incidental.  The dishes will be started after a bath or shower, then the mushrooms, and some sauces and foods otherwise.  That'll be it for several days to a week, I suspect.  My innards are really messed up.  I need time to heal.  Later.
