Awake, finally, again.

.

.

I didn't go down until late.  Nearly 15:00?  A good thing, if I can slow the advance and keep it.  But, with the cold, and deep winter blues, I am not sure I have the ability, will, or strength to gain and maintain control.  Right now, I'm a row boat in the ocean, in a storm.  If I stay afloat, that is as good as it probably gets.

Breakfast is stewing.  Cat litter has been cleared.  I have been keeping up on that, in spite of not having a good memory of it.  Feeding the girls well, and rabbits too.  My last lot of water arrived today, I just brought that in.  As well as t.p.  I used to try to keep six months to a year supply of that latter on hand, but with what they are trying to do, I am trying to keep more.

The thing is, they are gambling, not just with stocks, bonds, precious metals, and else, they are now gambling with simple products, such at toilet paper.  My preferred brand and type, currently, is running at $60 for 12k sheets.  Far too much.  The choices, for the brand, besides, were running at $48 and $30 for similar or slightly greater amounts.  The other types are inferior, but I... can't spend $60 on t.p. per six months.  Won't.  Jerks.  But, it was time to set in more stores of those, before they disappeared entirely, as they had, or gone way up in price, which they also do... on every type.  It's all a gamble, at this point.  But I think they are losing.  People are stocking up so we can buy when they run out of breath.  They will break their companies doing this.

Same with water.  People are buying in bulk, when the price is reasonable, then not buying for long periods.  I have even gone without rather than pay even a 25% markup, or beyond a certain price point.  I just won't.  I have been paying too much, no more.  I'll figure something else out.  I did try generic, but there is something totally messed up about that.  No, I... will make it myself rather than go that way.  It isn't as good, but it will do.

I had thought it was around 20:00 when I woke.  But I haven't done that much, and it is is already 21:14 as I write.  So, if I did wake at 20:00, I moved very slowly getting up, mostly dressed, and going.  Could be, but probably an half hour later.  Odd how the mind, when waking, drifts, or thinks, or remembers.  Probably did wake at 20:00, but didn't get up for an half hour, then didn't check the clock at that point.

A shower, before long.  Then trash into the dumpster.  Plus, perhaps, a few more boxes.  Just from water and cat litter, this month, this week, I have quite a few boxes.  It's amazing how fast those can pile up.  They will be broken down and put out in the bottom, then have a trash bag on top.  As well, maybe through the night, I will get the boxes ready to go, upstairs, down and out.  That will open a nice space.

With a little bit of work, I can turn that space into an area to go through the rest of the boxes up there.  Someone... looked through some of what I was throwing away.  They found two papers I had done for vector calculus, in which I received A's.  They left them there, by the now empty dumpster.  Odd.  Unlike most, I did these things by hand.  I did them so well, some people thought my handwork was done in a program, then printed out, in old english or a similar font.  This wasn't my best work, that way, but it wasn't bad.

A shower, finally, tonight, it is hoped.  Trash and boxes out, boxes broken down.  Dishes started, blankets into the dryer... I forgot about them.  Yea.  Well, and maybe water bottles and mini litter pallets back... either in the back room, or where the chair which was removed used to be... near the litter boxes.  Yes, maybe.  I'll probably just finish the last of the two thick chops, along with a small can of sauerkraut?  Or brats with same?  I need to grocery shop, for fresh veggies.  But, also need pots and pans cleaned, so as to cook those.  Bleh.

I will try to get to things tonight.  And may.  Good evening, day, and night.  If not a goodnight, yet.  :p  Sleep well, I'll try to get to things.
