Even if I can't...

Have you ever watched a cat watching birds through a window?  *meow*  Beyond the impossible number of tasks, chores, gardening, household, and general things to do, there are always more.  I can't even do what all I want, so doing the new stuff?  In time... in time I will get to some of it.

What else?  Just lately I have been thinking about several problems.  The sink drain, in the big bathroom, has always been a bit of a problem.  While I was ordering some things, I also ordered a new pop-up drain plug and reviewed how to change that out.  I am also thinking about doing some work on the tub.  I had thought about changing the plug, but the dimensions and ordering on line... not sure I want to go that way.  But a hair screen and a different sort of plug were appealing, so I went with that.  More?  The tub faucets are starting to get leaky.  I have the parts and tools to, probably, fix those.  I have been holding off until a freeze isn't a worry.  I will need to shut off the whole house water before doing that.  The sinks are fine, it's just the tub and shower faucets.  I'll be reviewing videos about that, every once in a while, as the time nears.

As I suggested, I also need to repair some of the wall in that main bathroom.  I wrote about another tool I would like, and more about that project before.  If I do that, however, I would like to, then, repaint that bathroom.  And I'll need to buy new floorboarding... or whatever the wood trim along the baseboards is called.  Baseboards?  I'm... never sure.  The thing with any job... ANY JOB... is that it can go from a simple, if technical, single process into a group of tasks of quite divergent nature.  Even if you have the energy, money, and time, to run and gun a project to it's end, you can still end up way over your head, over budget, out of time, and still not done... and worse maybe needing to call in a pro.

Still, all fun an games until someone pokes an eye out.  Then you go for broke, double down, and see if lightning really does strike twice?  Maybe that's just me.  Way too fun.  I'm trying to rest.  There are just so many pretty birds.  And I am so hungry.  Actually literally.  The eggs were okay.  The keto stuff was alright.  But I think I need a lot more.  Hmm?  Oh... I may water thaw some fish!  That would be okay.  I might even have lemon or lime juice.  I know I have butter.  Two different kinds?  Three?  I am hungry, don't have much for sides.  The veggies in the fridge are probably all gone.

Actually, while at it, I might chop the veggies for compost.  I don't know that I mentioned, but I have done some work.  I emptied some bins and put them in to wash, then got the salts and sugar I wanted to store, put those in quart jars and labeled them... six sugar, three kosher salt, and two and an half regular ionized table salt.  I need a couple more kosher and table salt packages to get those to five each.  That'll be next month, or the month after.  Then I begin buying three or four quarts of honey, for a few months.  Then I begin molasses and maple syrup.

I kept thinking, if I bought this stuff it would be the best way, and in bulk.  But every time  I thought of it, or did it, I realized... that doesn't work.  Smaller amounts, no more than a quart, is the way to go.  More so for me, but really for even a family.  It is expensive to buy it already stored, and probably no more sure.  Now, for some things, like molasses and maples syrup, buying by the lot might be the way to go.  It would be with honey, save that we have a local supplier.  Finally putting up some of the basics.  Though, next?  To figure out which dry spices and herbs I might like, which store well, how to store them in smaller batches, and getting on that.

Yeah...  I really am at it.  Maybe for no reason at all.  Maybe it will mean a world of difference, to me or someone else, or more.  Which reminds me, I have a lot of work to do in the basement.  Hmm... that'll be a good place to work in the high heat of summer though.  Yeah...  Later.
