Who woulda thunk tearing down boxes could be so tiring! Then again, that wasn't all. Dealing with packing material wasn't difficult, actually that was more like a break compared to breaking down boxes, which was far easier than the other part. That being, when finding case-lots of food, sorting them until there were enough, then getting them downstairs.
Twenty to thirty boxes broken down, small to large; Two bags of packing... kitchen size... packed and taken to the trash; Four or five, maybe six, trips down with three to five pallets of canned veggies, sort of took my wind. I didn't just stop, though, I... wanted a few trim boxes pulled in and put down, a last pallet of veggies down, a new bag in the trash bin, and a few other things. I am trying to pull a job closed, so if need be it can sit for a while without looking too unkempt.
I thought to sweep, and exchange the floor mat under my chair, but... no. There were other things I could have done, but... no. I considered taking the trash out, that is still in the bin from the trash barrel being too full, but that is another task for another time, no. I had, at that point, done what I should and could do. I did get a bottle of perrier, lemon. And found the last can of no-sugar-added mandarin oranges, upon which to snack. Not ready for a whole meal quite yet.
An hour? Closer to two. Mostly light duty. But that I am able to work is... a gift. I am hoping to do dishes, find a phone number and make at least one more call, and attempt to get things going elsewhere. I don't think... yes, I do have bratwursts to grill, but no other food for today. I should be set up for a few days, maybe a week? Nothing extra, but... it will do.
Oh, why perrier? Because I can't drink much actual water, or general bottled water. But all else I drink is slightly not keto, or can vary. This? This works, I like it, and it helps alleviate another thirst, for beer. I do have the lemon acvinegar thing, but that's just a bit for a dot, and the lemon juice in it is questionable. I can, sometimes, drink tea with nothing, but not often. It's what I can do. My body requires gallons a day, I resist, can get down to an half gallon to gallon, but a few days later end up drinking up to four gallons a day... with or without the water pills! Ugh.
Yes, dishes, phone calls, more boxes and perhaps getting things down. Though, maybe, if I find more canned items, I will just set them aside. I am not sure I will be up to more effort like that. If I do take a load down, it will be light, and more to get a broom down there and sweep up. Oh, and there is at least one mouse down there. I'll have to reset the barrel roll trap, get that set up. Since some of my weekly larder is down there, I'll be down there more often.
I am weary. This was a good trot, but today needs to be a more restful day. A shower would be nice, in a bit, a trim before. But, a slower day. I'll have to find one of my hobbies with which to entertain myself... kill time really. Do puzzles or crafts really improve a guy? Perhaps, in the little ways, such as increasing patience, reducing stress (potentially), increasing mental clarity... if, too... I've often suggested that it is the little things.
A plan for the day. But, rest first. Wow, that pretty much busted me. Good morning and day.
