Up!

.

Not with the exuberance the title might suggest, more with the surprise it could also describe.  I set the alarm for 06:00, in order to be awake to help move the dumpster.  I... wasn't sure that was possible.  And, to a degree, it wasn't.  It took three snooze bars as a parachute into waking.  Up at 06:30.

But, when I got up, up I am.  I checked, to make sure he hadn't already been by.  Nope.  So I texted him to let him know I would help.  The wind is still strong.  It does make a difference.  And I like to, want to, help.  And I do and can help, some.

Teeth and hair brushed, becoming very regular.  Two or three times a day.  On heavy work days, twice will often just have to do, though I still try to sneak an extra in.  Medicine down.  Blood sugar is 150 fasting.  Yes, eating late will do that.  I thought, maybe, a longer day of work might offset that, but nope.

Blustery, snowing, blowing snow, out there.  Have you ever looked out and wondered what was causing lower than usual visibility?  Fog, air quality, then realized it was very small flakes, at a 45 to the horizon, and difficult to spot in the early dark!  A bit of a surprise.  And just 10 F out there.  Ugh.

Okay.  For today?  After the dumpster, some waking time.  It... is required.  Then, dishes.  I want those kicked out, washed until clean, rinsed, dried, then set to air dry as well.  When those are managed, I... can focus on rooms and boxes.  Then, after those are sorted, I can hit the rooms again, for finer detail.  I still have most of the master to do.  And a bit of final packaging in the spare.  Then back to living room, then up to my bedroom upstairs.  

A lot of keeper boxes, for now.  I may, again, after this is all over and the house is back into shape, go back through all the boxes with a finer toothed comb, dispensing with more.  For now... it's good.  I would like to go through them now, but I don't have the time or energy for that much detail.  And, if they are already boxed, to a degree, with some things, let sleeping dogs lie.

The place isn't exactly spiffy, nor is it solidly even sorted.  But, the volume of 'noise' has gone down fifteen decibels.  Not something a stranger would notice.  But for someone who has see it even just a week ago, but definitely two weeks ago, it looks like someone has been very busy.  Truth be told, I am not doing the majority of it.  I am slow, timid, and such.  I have done some, but... not as much as I would have hoped, or as quickly.

I have this morning to work on my own, though maybe until later or even this evening.  Oh... not before the inspection, unless it can be moved, but...  I would like to get my new computer desk set up and going.  It is one which will rise and lower, so I can stand at it, for some of the time.  Is that at all useful?  I don't know, will find out.  Though, then, I can clean out the nest area where my old computer desk is.  It... has needed removed and cleared for a long time.  Ugh.

Well... on to... waking.  Good morning and day.
