Awake, and just a bit tight.

I set the alarm for 6:00.  Going to bed at about 22:30, I thought that might be possible.  I was awake too long, and did too much, however.  Rather than fighting with the alarm and probably losing worse on top of waking later and in no condition to do anything, I just turned off the alarm, went back to sleep, and woke when I could.  Right at 9:00, as it turns out.  Good enough.

It looks like it snowed.  Just the tiniest of amounts though.  Just enough to mat into a lattice, perhaps a tenth of an inch?  An eighth?  Just enough to annoy.  Which probably means sweeping, which... is actually harder than shoveling... though maybe with so little snow?  I'll find out soon enough.  While I have no plan to go to town today, I will clear it off just... to keep on top of things.

The dishes were set up last night.  I think they are rather clean, from the first wash.  Still, I'll hit them again and see if I am satisfied.  It would be nice to have them done more quickly, but I hate greasy dishes.  I will probably do these before I hit the snow.  I'd like to see if the sun will work the snow a bit.  After this, or maybe then after this and the snow, then I begin work on the drain.  It may or may not work as I had hoped.  More parts?  Maybe.  I may need to take the length that comes straight out of the wall and loop it back to be closer to the wall again.  Why?  Because otherwise the washer would have to be sideways back there, or stick out from the wall a large bit.  And while their is room for either, they don't conform to my notions of how things should be, look, and perform!  So, no!  Which is fine.  That will be an extremely easy fix as it will be on the pvc section, which would just take a fitting or three, as I have enough drain pipe to do... anything I need.

However far that goes, I should be able to, roughly but surely enough, figure out where the washing machine will go.  At which point, regardless of how else things work, I can level the device...  Urhm, if I can level the device.  The question is whether I really can do it solo, and whether, if I can do it solo, if I can do it solo today.  I am stretched, as to physical strength and endurance.  And I will have cleaned off the snow and done a pile of dishes while hunched over, plus tinkered with the drain, before I get to it.  So... maybe.  If I can't seem to today, I may attempt to level the dryer instead.  It is a lighter device by far.

Yes, Peawee,  I'm working on it.  Gotta deal with reality, a body that has been in moth balls more than half of it's time here, and all else.  I'm doing alright, all said.  And I don't think there is a problem breaking on through to the other side.  I wasn't just called to faith.  Or, maybe I should clarify a call to faith.  Such a call is a call to action.  Contemplation, without action, save in special situations, is not right.  For most, action is as essential as contemplation... when viable in either instance... suffering for the loss of the other is sometimes a price that must be paid due to the vagaries of a fallen world is all.  Anyway, thus, finally, I am back to action.

Hmm... seems a package is in at the post, too.  I may try to get going and get that today while I am at it.  Ugh.  Oh, and I should fix something to eat.  Beef heart with cabbage, in a pressure cooker?  Maybe.  This time I was able to get nearly a whole heart, not just a tiny slab!  That stuff is good, boys and girls!  YUM!  Later.
