Finally.

I didn't get to sleep until nearly three.  Just... sat there.  Spacing out.  Until I realized how late it was.  When the house is warm, it's easy to lose track.  I have to remember that it is cool enough upstairs, with ac and fans going.  But, when I am very tired, and it is rather warm, thinking isn't a strong suit.  Up at 13:30.

Now, to sort out what to do today.  I brought the towels in last night, save one which seemed still a bit damp.  Only one had fallen to the ground, the one that still seemed damp.  The others were good, so brought in.  I should have a wonderful shower.  I used vinegar on them, as well as bleach.  Wait, I should check whether that is bad or not.  Some things, combined with bleach, will produce chlorine gas.  Deadly stuff.  I know ammonia mixed with bleach will.  Know a woman who nearly killed herself that way, if quite by accident.  Still has lung limitations.

Anyway, maybe another load of laundry.  Then, on to dishes.  Just what is dry getting put up, and that which is soaking washed, and either reset to another wash or set to a rinse.  But that will be it.  I have refilled waterers, so chores, and refilling those brought in.  Upstairs!  Clearing and cleaning, the work table and floor.  Vacuuming, laying out various powders for vacuuming again in a few days,  Setting up the sewing machine up there, and sewing kit.  Well, and filling medicines.  The only thing I don't have enough of is vitamins.  They might be in today.

If I can get these things, I'll call it good.  Tomorrow is the first, so I can get to the grocery store.  Or... maybe, hopefully.  Though I want to get in early.  Before it gets too hot.  It really isn't too bad, today, so far.  It is 82, outside, and in the mid 70s in the house, 75 or 72 upstairs, warmer the closer to where I sleep... well, and on the waking sun side of the house.  Though, even at night, with or without fans or ac, that side of the house is simply, and always, warmer.  Strange.  Houses have their... systems, ways, and such.

I am supposed to be receiving most of the last of my orders today.  I think one to four things remain unsent, or moving very slow, or without any information at all.  One was sent nearly four days ago, a week ago?  And still has not been updated.  No, not a complaint.  Just... what is happening.  I am, as mentioned, rather satisfied, especially given all the givens.  The world is breaking and amazon and ups are carrying on.  For now.  Grateful, to be honest.  I can't get out, and find these things anywhere near reasonably.  If I could find them at all, certainly not in groups, or at the prices I can afford.  Like it or not, and it comes to my door.  Just in gas savings, at this point, it's a wonder.

What makes me laugh is everyone who claims to be an ecological advocate, who then gets in their car, driving all around town, to maybe or maybe not find what they are looking for, probably buying more than they intended (because, yes, we are addicted to the 'new shit' and weak to advertising).  Then bitches about a less expensive, more efficient, means of purchase.  There are risks, with monoploidies.  But that would be a future problem.  And, one that would be managed with a different future problem altogether.  Mom and pops were vampiric, wallyworld came in and took their legs out from under them, then amazon shorted wallyworld.  That is just how it goes.  But, every new method brought more affordable products.

Sure, that fanned the flames of consumerism.  But, for a time in history, it is nice to be able to choose almost anything, and experiment, play, learn.  It looks like we are to the point where people are just sitting and buying, got it, I do.  But, with some other changes, perhaps things are change regarding that, as well.  I am trying to get into something creative, productive, and well within my means both physically and most likely financially.  As well, challenging intellectually, at least as I learn.  Of course, after the learning comes the drudgery of it.  But... there are always new things to do or learn.  Of course, I'm coming to it at a time where access may be becoming quite... tedious, expensive, difficult.  Will find out, I guess.

Well.  Time for a bit of breakfast.  Having a quart of water, sipped, cold, for a started.  Then I'll get some chia.  Oh, and I'll get medicine down.  Then, maybe, dishes and a shower?  Then on to other things.  I'll... try to do well again.  Good day.
