A late start.

.
.
Sort of expected.  I busted my hump yesterday.  While quite successfully, it wore me out.  Things hurt, a bit, if no where near the level I expected.  I would call this level of pain a good day, save that on a good day this would melt off in the first hour or two.  I suspect this won't go for a day or two.  So, a typical dose of painkiller right off the starting line.

The waterers were reset, I just turned up the furnace and set the alarm for an hour.  Then to chores.  I may not do a whole lot more today.  And, what I do, will be in small, discreet, parts.  After chores, for example, if I can, I will wash off the freezer.  Next, I will take a break, play games or look through the internet... looking for a roux... if that cheese sauce from earlier might work.  

Someone brought up scalloped potatoes.  And, it really looks good.  Potatoes?  I don't know.  But flour roux?  No.  Even the potatoes would have to either be eaten cold (in theory... some sort of deactivated or manipulated starch... with a dubious proving out), or soaked and that refreshed until the water is clear?  Something.  Removing as much of the starch as possible, anyway.  I think there is a way to do that so that you don't destroy the texture.  Not sure any of it will work, or if I will ever get to finding out... but... I can look around.

Later, too, a call.  To the V.A., to make sure the blood test will be available next week, and to set up a next appointment.  Nothing fancy.  I just have to call before 15:00... they generally shut down about then.

I am hoping, as well, to maybe do one or two loads of dishes... assuming I get the space open for air drying.  And I would like to test the tool, and do a bit of work on the larger cage, trying both the staple and nail function of the 2 in 1 tool.  Of course, that means getting the compressor out, figuring out how to get it over close enough to the cage (as I can't move that cage solo), and then getting everything set up and going...  Hmm... maybe parts of that, or tomorrow.  But... I really want to check the tool or and get the cage reset.  Though, I could do some smaller things with the cages too?

Assuming, of course, that I will be able to do more than sit.  Ooh!  That first glass of kefir is doing it's thing!  I'll... call it quits on the post for... a bit.  :p  Later.
