Raining, I think.

Dark, cool, it's just how it has been lately.  No worries, I think I'll be able to figure things out today.  Rain seems to be letting up in the afternoon.  The sun has been making weak brief appearances as well.  Though I may attempt to work earlier, I'll simply want to have a rain coat on if I do.

I woke to a terrible racket.  I wondered if they were digging the phone line in.  Nope.  The water fountain, for the girls... cats... was too low.  I know it wasn't rumbling all night, just, at most, an hour or two this morning.  I filled it.  I'll have to pay closer attention.  Though, perhaps, that will just happen from time to time.  There isn't a really good, or easy, way to tell the depth.  I bet I can fix that without too much work.

With the dishes caught up and the tub/shower clear, getting a shower right away... or... as a first thing in a bit I mean... should make the rest of the day move along a bit better.  Oh, hey!  It looks like the sun is peaking out.  Anyway... a shower first.  Then some air dry time, maybe breakfast, and medicine.  Then to work.  If I can get a clear shot at things, I should be able to finish all the tasks that remain on my planting, growing, digging list.  If so I might just get to working on clearing gutters.

With those things done, I'll get back to housework.  I have been keeping up with where I got, at peak.  So digging further will be simple enough.  The kitchen and the main bedroom are the focuses.  Though, as I found, other things often either get in the way or work as change of pace.  The main back hall, for example, could be cleared and cleaned as I clean the other areas.  As well, bringing the back freezer into use, emptying and cleaning the main freezer while at it, might also be an ongoing task.  As well as any number of other small chores, such as getting the hoses in the basement, and the basement itself, back into order, might be another little thing.

While cleaning is good, I like to mix in other sorts of chores... if I can.  I would like to work on the bathroom and kitchen sink drains, work on the dripping faucets, spray for bugs and weeds when the weather deigns to allow the sun to shine, and perhaps polish some of my leather boots.

The goal isn't to work myself to death, it is to catch up, keep up, and advance... to a point where keeping up and doing other things is in the playbook.  Learning as I go, improving my home, organizing my life and tasks so as to simplify them and other tasks in the future.  Work, work, work, work, work.  It's not all I ever wanted, but it is a solid part of it.  I like to work, I like to do things, make things, improve my lot, learn, and experiment.  I may never know much, but I sure enjoy realizing how much I don't know.  *grins*

Good day.
