That nap took a while.

.

I didn't get to bed at 13:00, it was more between 15:00 and 16:00.  I just couldn't drop, or do anything.  Stuck in a short insomniac moment.  Then I crashed like a red oak.  Down, and more.  I started waking around midnight.  Finally waking at a bit after one, but I wasn't ready.  Finally at about 02:00 I woke.  I closed the birds up first thing, then checked the temp.  It is around 20 out there.  The house is closed up, it was getting a bit nippy a day or two.  I had to turn the furnace on, as well... if just to 68?  Yes, I think so.

Tomorrow is trash day, I don't think it is recycling to, but I could be wrong.  As soon as I can get to work, I will begin going through the downstairs, removing what is too old, save just enough for just in case, until it can be replaced.  Only one, not two, boxes of dried milk, or whatever it is called.  Same with some other things.  The beans and lentils are still good, as is the maple syrup in glass.  Much of the rest has to go.  Hmm... I'll bet the mint candies are still good.  Sugar.  Sugar and salt, and a few other things, generally by themselves or in foods will preserve naturally.  Hey, it's emergency stuffs, and could be used for eats or trade.

Canned stuff?  I don't mind a year, or even two, beyond stamped.  But beyond that it can get too funky.  I tried a really old can of green beans (if... that... was green beans, which can be funky right away).  It, though, was more funky than usual, by far.  French cut green beans are the worst, not sue why, but in my experience, I never buy those.  So, go through the stuff, with a bin right there, and get out what I can for trash day.

If I have time and energy after that, I may begin going through boxes, looking for packing material to go out.  Well, and if there is room.  Too bad packing materials don't generally go into recycling or I'd have that made.  Either way, when I begin going through boxes,  I will end up with several bags of that to go.  As to breaking down boxes, they just don't fit well or easily into the recycling bin.  I suppose I could get some in, but not many.  Especially with the bits I have from the household.?  Hmm, I'll see next time around.  I should have boxes broken down and stacked... could choose the smaller ones at that.

After those things, then it is back to dishes, and cleaning the cooking and prep areas, as well as the remaining counters.  I won't clean downstairs today, I can only do just so many stair routines a day, getting the old food stores out will be about it, maybe too much even then if it takes four or five trips.  Bleh.  But, Filling the trash is first, if downstairs does it, I will skip messing with boxes and go on to cleaning dishes and counters.  I didn't set the pans and utensils up for a wash, but I did get the blender and parts in.  I absolutely feared messing with dried pate.  Rinsed it clear, then set it and it's parts to a hot sudsy.  That shouldn't be a problem, neither should the pan though... after having used vinegar to deglaze nothing is really stuck on.

It's funny.  As your cooking skills increase, your cleaning time decreases... if you do it right.  Always some cleanup, but in part, you do it on the way, and in part how you cook keeps stuck on things off, or removes much.  Hmm, eggs, bacon, and kefir again this morning.  And egg casserole from the old eggs will be prepped after trash is set to go and probably after cleanup... breakfast before.  And, after dishes are finished, a shower.  

Not sure I will be doing a whole lot more today.  But... that... is a good start on the week.  Tomorrow?  Box breakdown and packing collection, plus a detailed cleaning in the bathroom.  The toilet has being kept impeccable, but the floor and... sink is rather good, just a bit on top, hmm, but, yes, the floor.  A much better sweeping, then mopping.  And moving a few things out.  It can turn into a clean clothes repository.  

I think, if I can keep up whatever is going on, when I get the bathroom clean... and other rooms, I may be able to keep up.  Especially when I get back on medicine, and if I can get a downstairs ac in, along with the upstairs.  Pricey to run, but then I can function... not just sit there, acclimated or not.  Oh, and just two eggs and four or five bacon thirds is often enough, or is becoming enough.  If still hungry, I'll try a keto break and some of the pate... the courser sort, with mustard as well.  Later.
