It's going.

Great speed is not to be had.  Neither in any particular project or from project to project.  But work continues.

After "dusting" the refrigerator, removing the baking powder that is, I closed it up and plugged it in.  It's still rough.  It wasn't a machine of high art or fashion to start.  Between again and abuse it is what it is.  Even with as careful as I was with cleaning, and the materials used, plus deodorizing as I could... it is rough.  I thought it would be just as bad no matter.  But the cool air really cleared most of that 'freezer burn' audetoilet scent.  At least when it is running, now that it has been cleaned and deodorized, it smells neutral.

I went ahead and emptied the fridge/freezer back into the fridge.  This time I am doing things a little differently.  The empty cat food boxes fit perfectly in the door shelves, allowing much better organization and keeping little things from shuffling forward and dropping.  I was also able to adjust the interior shelves exactly to my liking.  And, after living as I do for some number of years now, I have a good idea of what I buy, what space I need, and such.  Wonderful.  So the refrigerator is pretty much back into action.

After that, before too much time passed, I remembered to do the spraying... for bugs.  It's pet safe, as soon as it dries.  It should be dry now.  Which means I will now powder the floors and main bedroom bed with diatomacious earth and baking powder.  Or is it soda?  The deodorant stuff.  I will just leave that on and about until I vacuum, eventually.  I also got almost two loads of clothes back to the washing area.  I want more, about a third of my normal loads more, so as to have two complete loads of laundry.  A shower first, then laundry.

More?  I have decided the best path for the appliances.  I don't like it, as it is all the way through from the front door.  But that only leaves one smaller door to negotiate, and just for the washer and dryer.  The main front door is easily big enough for all.  And the stove is the most questionable item.  I suppose the washer and dryer could come in through a back side door, but...  I don't know.  In any case, as I have been tinkering, I have been thinking about what needs to be done to make it all work.  Oh, and I will get the payments going on that.  With zero interest or fees, at $200 a month, these will be paid in four months!  I best get that going while I am at it.  I won't start the payments until January, but I don't receive until December, so it should work.

With the water pill just starting, I hit the first two days with double doses... I had a lot of water backed up.  If things look good tomorrow morning, I'll stick with the regular dose.  If not, I might hit it with a double dose for a few days longer.  I need to place an order for medicine tomorrow.  I have two pair of shoes to be returned as well, so I will get those packed and ready.  After the shower, I plan to first set compression socks to a cold soak, then set up a load of dishes.

I am getting there people.  I mean really moving things and life and such.  It's a lot of work.  I seem to be doing well.  It looks like I have stabilized for the season, or for now.  I would sure like to get things wrapped up in the cave so that I can, maybe, before things cave in again, get out snowshoeing.  If that goes well, then maybe begin flat, then sloped, cross country skiing with the goal of small trips, maybe and overnighter, yet this winter.  Winter camping isn't for the feint of heart, nitwits, clusterfucks, or even merely for adventure.  It's a skill that is needed if the wilds are where one is headed.  And, since doctors, enemies, friends, myself, and so far nature hasn't killed me, I ought to begin testing that even further.  :p

Oh, there are a few other things I am thinking about, might do tonight, or will get to... like cleaning the bathroom maybe yet tonight, or opening the rear hallway, or opening up this front computer room... doing some work here anyway.  I've got all night, and seem to be able to get up soon enough after my breaks... just not as fast as I had been going.  I'll get to it.  Later.
