Surprises.

I did get to the dishes.  Some of them washed, rinsed, and up.  Though more of them just washed and put to a rinse.  As well, I finally got the cat watering system in for a wash.  I just don't use anything right out of packages... not for me, not for the critters.  Do not trust.  That's not even a bad thing, it is just the facts of mass production.  In time to be freshly washed for when dinner arrives.

The only other things I plan to do today are to eat something or other, finish the dishes in the rinse... well and the cat waterer, get the trash out, then take a good long soak bath.  I am sore pretty much everywhere.  It is wonderful, and yet I am hoping a salt soak will work things out.  I will be set to sprint this coming week.  Much to do.  Though, in truth, my goal is to begin working regularly, if lightly.  Can I get to ten solid hours of work, committed dedicated timed?  I don't know.  I think so.  I am finally doing well enough that I can not only think about it, but might be able to do it.  If I can, I suspect I might begin going beyond that.  Working twenty to thirty hours around the house and yard a week?  Maybe.

I am well pleased with the digging so far, and planning.  Some of the purchases have been made, just a few left for this month.  I did check the prices for various pvc gutter systems.  Sure, metal is much stronger, and would last a lot longer.  Hmm, I didn't actually price it though.  I believe I will be going with pvc for now.  If that fails too often or catastrophically, then I might go with metal.  If I go with metal, it will be with steel.  Oh, and there are mesh screens for over them now, so they aren't as difficult to keep clean.  They just snap on and off, so they aren't another layer of seemingly small but in truth large complications.  Life... you think you found a trick to keep it all together.  The trick turns into a curveball, but not for but against you.

Another job for this week?  Shredding mail.  I have... piles and piles of it.  I also have the new incentive of needing carbon sources.  Raking might bring some, but shredding will probably be the most abundant, if limited, sources to start the game.  To think I tossed... six or seven bags of "brown" a year or two ago.  Ugh.  Well, it's something to keep me in the game, I guess.

Oh, right.  Live and learn.  Not only are horseradish roots useful, the leaves are another green.  Actually, that might be a reason to grow more than one, or two.  The thing is, I really want them in planters.  At least until I figure out my growing areas and... it begins to take shape and make sense.  Invasive?  That... bothers me.  I'm already a local nuisance, I do not wish to complicate things further.

Later.
