Not bad.

.

Dishes were dried and set out.  A new batch put in.  This batch is pretty nasty.  But, so be it.  It will take a couple of washes, at least.  I'll hit it in an hour or two.  That's not everything, but it is close.  Just a few skillets, and maybe a few other odds and ends after.  Going fast.  There really wasn't all that much to finish, but I just couldn't get to it, until now.  Wanted too, couldn't.

Plus, I checked the clothes in the dryer.  Good, dry, pulled those and put what was having trouble draining, spinning dry, after a full regular load.  The spin and rinse didn't work, either.  Rinse and spin, actually.  A regular wash cycle did spin it dry, this time.  I won't do whites until later, if it looks like it won't rain?  Or, if I think I can get it to dry before it rains.  I'll check closer to sunup.

It is 60, outside, if humidity was 75%?  Something like that.  In here, near the machine, it is 75 with a 53% humidity.  The rest of the house is 74, upstairs is 73/74.  Not bad.  I have a fan in front, and the swamp cooler fans, minus the humidity inducing portion, going.  A good night to work.  Cool enough without quite being cold.  And, if it drops to the 40s, and really chills things off, I'll put on heavy pj bottoms and a long sleeve t.

Next, actually, is a short break.  In an hour I would like to begin upstairs.  Finish the floor.  I know, I keep saying that.  But tonight it looks like it will be hit.  Work up there until it is done.  Then take an half hour to hour break, and get back to the dishes, check the laundry, another break, and then to the living room... tossing, sorting, storing.

It's not the fastest effort I have ever done, but it is rather steady.  Even on my down days, I get something done.  If I can hit all of those, today, I may use a bag of ready-crete, or such, wet it, and attempt a patch in the driveway tomorrow.  Whether in the morning, or later, depends on how much I get done, how fast, and how much energy I have.  Will have to put the vehicle out in the sun for a few days, so I won't have to drive through the cement while it is wet.

Other than that, it will begin with giving the upstairs three days, for the powder to do it's work, then vacuum that all up.  Then begin sorting boxes, mostly for tossing.  But, in the interim, clearing the final bits and parts from this front room, so I can bring those boxes down and have them ready to toss.  I will be filling this room, again, with things ready to go.  For, eventually, one more dumpster rental session... perhaps month?  But only when I have a near full thing, order it to be delivered two days before dumping day, fill it up, and have it ready for further fills.  Actually, having two loads would be best.  And, have help on the way to begin sorting even that week, so more is being brought to the toss room.

No, it really is getting done.  Slowly.  There have been stoppages.  But, when I go, I go pretty well, for weeks at a time.  Probably no more than twenty, maybe thirty, hours of work a week.  In small groups, of fifteen minutes to two hours at a time, as is possible.  Lots of breaks, required, trust me.  Not even an option thing.  But, very very good.  I wish I could hit four to six hours at a time, or eight to twelve even.  Those are my goals.  I just haven't been able to get even close to those, regularly, yet.  Two hours is about my record.  And... really, it is a record.  Especially several times a week, several weeks in a row.  I am not completely burning out and fading away.

Well, there it is.  Now for my half to two hour break.  Give or take.  Later.
