Such generous sleep.

Generous?  Crushing?  I didn't sleep as I suspected I would.  I was awake until 14:30... IF memory serves.  I am pretty sure.  Then I slept to 21:30 to 22:00.  Sam was hungry.  If using ac, I close up shop.  But with it 70° outside, inside, and 68° upstairs, I just went with two fans and an open door.  It didn't look to be warming outside.

It was 68° upstairs, 70° downstairs, and 58° outside at the crack of dusk, probably a wee after, when waking.  The girls have been fed, the ducks will be shortly.  Not a great schedule, but it's what I can do.  Litter, bagging, and trash out.  I have been sleeping so much that I have produced very little trash.  Still, out!

I am going to figure out how to download one or several OS's for the various raspberry pi's, along with some specific programs, apps, or such... for various apps.  An unused computer, a game console, and a smart phone, all with different and partially gimp issues.  Actually, I am hoping to figure it all on each.  Redundancy.

No, I do not integrate my systems.  Never have.  Convenient?  Sure!  So is not locking your house or auto, going with password as your password, and answering any question without regard to safety or security.  If integrated, and one thing is cracked or fails... not how I work.  Keep them separated.

If I get frustrated with mind work, I can always work on the bathroom.  And I have good food ready to eat.  Oh, I was happily surprised there weren't any limits on purchases, at the store I was in.  I was expecting it.  Still, I try to limit my shopping to a few packages per item, if price was incentive enough for some of it.  Though hardware and grocery stores all had things just... not there.  Large empty spaces.  Just not what I was seeking.

My mother called.  She is changing her medicine.  Unilaterally.  All good.  Ultimately we are responsible, doctors are informed employees... if always looking to make a buck and dependent on specialists, pharmacists, drug makers, and lawyers who are all also trying to make bucks while scratching each others' backs.  We have to watch out for ourselves.  They don't, necessarily.

She is holding off hip surgery to find out what the back doctor has to say.  As, according to the hip specialist, that is where her pain is emanating.  She has had two major back surgeries.  They have done all they can for that.  Ugh.  She is holding off surgery until the back specialist and winter.  Recovery is so much easier in the winter.

I told her, if she wanted, I would stay with her.  She almost started crying, silly goose.  It'll be a bit complicated, but...  I have been there for those usually.  I'm not perfect, but I do okay.  Getting help with a few things, but being there to give meds or help as needed... I am not perfect, but I actually do okay.  Perhaps having a few people lined up to bring a few meals each week.  Perhaps even help with housecleaning, a once a week thing.  I'm just not good at some things.  But I am strong enough and gentle enough to help her move, walk, roll, or such.  I'll even get her jelly cookies.

Hmm?  I don't know.  Only a bite to eat in a bit, then on to it.  Later.
