More still?

Dishes were just reset, after else.  All trash cans were bleached and scrubbed, inside and out, then left outside to dry.  A few other things, I just can't remember.  Then I decided to clean out the mid and long-term pantry.  Ugh.  I had things to move, negotiate, rearrange.  And I just dusted.  I finished between half and two thirds of that.  I have things to go down there, and things to be removed.

I am hoping, as I fill it this time, I have a better idea of what I use.  I have many things to go down, things I know I have and do use.  Canned veggies to sugar free ketchup, among other items.  But, this time, I need to remember to look before buying.  Some of the items are for very long term, and really emergency, use.  While I wouldn't use pure maple syrup currently, in a bad one, I could use or trade it.  Though most of it is functional, including cans of butter and cheese (which aren't bad, if not as good as fresh).

Canned isn't my favorite.  Right?  But the freezer just isn't a safe bet, even for a regional.  Actually homecanned would be good, but I can't garden.  I keep thinking about finding the local non-farmers' farmers market (where you buy enough produce to actually can, without the fool label of "organic").  Tomatoes, green beans, who knows what else, but those especially... then learn to can or steam bath, is it?  Still, factory canned is what I can do, now, and so I do.

I went to check the trash cans.  On the one night, of the last month or two, I go out and... it's raining.  I put them under the porch, but they won't be dry by morning.  Gah!  Then I reset the dishes, and cleaned the tub a bit.  It didn't particularly need it, it just got it because I was there, was doing else, and... yea.  It was time, I am sure.  Bits and pieces.  If these were larger chunks, and several, all at once.

For my diligence, a bloody nose.  I am hoping to finish dusting down there, and I may yet get a dishpan of hot sudsy down to clean over what has been dusted.  There will be some areas, where the keeper items are kept for the moment, I will just have to get later.  Boxes of cans down, maybe a load or two a day?  Something like that.  As I'm digging out, I might as well put things where they belong.  If I seem to be creating their places as I go.  It's all good.

Oh, I cleaned off a tool case, which had been in the bathroom too long.  Men, and standing, and peeing... Anyway, it is cleaned, and will be put where it belongs when it dries as well.  It actually has a place, it just never got put there, then got partially buried.  I may sweep the bathroom as well.  I would like to clear and clean the counter, finish those dishes, take a shower, then sweep the bathroom.  Oh, I have a few items for the toilet.  Lid bolts, with leak-resistant parts... so when men, stand, pee, happens, the runners alongside  the tank don't get dosed.  Blah!  I've had them for a while, just... haven't had all the stars align so that they were installed.  After the next shower, today, tomorrow, whenever, would be best.

All of it?  I doubt it.  Things on my mind, while my body is running, with some possibility.  Now, later, sooner, later... a break first.  After the next batch of effort, I will begin the kidney.  Either as I break, or when I get up.  I am getting a bit tired, but... hoping for another run or two.  Sometimes, for no good reason, the engine starts up and runs as if it had never stopped.  I use it until it stops.  I just have to remember to feed it, including snacks.  Sardines aren't my absolute favorite, but they do a very good job.  Just get them in either extra virgin olive oil, or their own juices.  And with bones in, skin on.  If you have to eat health food, eat the whole of it.

Later.
