I finally did crash.

.
.
Around 20:00?  Give or take.  The packages did not arrive.  And, I ordered other things with some of the money I took out of the account.  Compression socks. various sizes, and brands.  To compare.  I... have to go back to them, or thought I did.  Though, as mentioned, having stopped consuming dairy, the swelling, water retention, is mostly gone.  Still, there is something wrong with the legs.  I will see about finding a few, and wearing them more regularly.

Oh, I also need to call can cancel dairy.  I have stopped dairy before, because I was broke, or not being available.  But, because the swelling can come and go anyway, and maybe I wasn't in great shape, I didn't put two and two together.  This time, I am so active, as active as I can be, and aware, mostly, I noticed.  I could give it another go, but I am pretty sure that is the problem.  There was an immediate clearing.

Well, I haven't actually completely stopped cream.  It is merely that I am using powdered whole cream.  Not as many calories per tablespoon, less 10 calories from the ~51 often given as typical of whole cream by the tablespoon.  No additives, either.  And, while noted, not as good as fresh cream, it certainly isn't causing swelling, water retention.  I'll tell you, wobbling around on swollen feet is no fun.  This has been a food few days.

I woke at about 02:30.  Came down, opened things up.  It is 56 out there, if around 70% humidity.  It has already cooled to 78 here by the machine, if I'm not sure what it was before beginning the cooling.  The rest of the cave was pleasant, but this front room was a bit ugly, warm and humid, if oddly it only reads 36% humidity.  Very strange.  Oh, I'll open up the upstairs, for a while.  Shutting the ac down as often as possible, for as long as possible, saves on the electric.  How much?  It all adds up.  Besides, I like getting fresh cool air in, and having the whole house circulate all together... equalize, cool, and whatever other good things cool air does to a place.

Tonight?  Back to dishes.  I'll reset those, after opening up upstairs.  But, while upstairs, I may open that last area needing vacuumed.  It's only about five square feet, literally in a square.  It just has five to seven containers full of stuff on top.  Wasn't up to moving it at the end of my last cleaning session.  Then dishes, reset.  And breakfast, while that get ready.  When I get to that, I'll begin in on the counters, sinks, and stovetop.  I have already cleared some of it.  And done some initial cleaning of the counters.  But... it'll need some elbow grease, hot water, and dishsoap.

After those things?  Actually, before.  Putting up the dishes which should all be dry on the freezertop.  Now, after?  Tearing into the kitchen table, and bathroom, clutter.  Maybe sweeping in those areas, and the hallways.  Tearing down boxes from what else has come in the last few days.  Perhaps hitting the stairs with the shop vac,  and possibly beginning in on the livingroom again, on items and boxes.

I ended up taking a bit of a break, falling down a bit, for a few days.  I kept doing a few things, daily.  Not as much as hoped, or planned on a given day.  Lets see if I am back to things.  Friday, is it?  Okay.  We'll see about getting going, and keeping up for the next week or two.  I am enjoying working, when I can.  Not like I am moving mountains.  But it has started.  And I am stay well ahead... not piling back over what I just finished, before moving on.  There is always some backsliding.  But it isn't significant compared to what has been done, and even then is being kept up over time.  Like... boxes.  I will break the ones that came in down, actually right as I go to vacuum, open up the upstairs, reset dishes, and begin brewing breakfast.  Nothing fancy, but it is cleared.  And, should packages arrive today, those boxes will also be broken down, immediately.

Yea.  Plus, most of the broken boxes are in the Xterra.  I'll get these in, and possibly those in, later.  And, when I get to grocery shopping, I'll take these to recycling.  I have found a place which is much more convenient than the downtown one.

Hup!  Pr... probably.  Later.
