Sometimes with intention, sometimes not.  Not... ignoring my duties, just unable to attend to them.  Keeping them in mind, hoping, looking, for windows of opportunity.  It may seem strange, but that is what I have available to me.  Barely managing consciousness, so I just can't hate on myself.

It got down to 61, but then very unusually, the temp climbed to 63.  Just a few degrees, but still well into the dark morning.  I think it was around 03:00 when it jumped the two degrees.  And, it has stayed that little bit higher.  Even so, it is pleasant in here.

I have the upstairs and down here open, and fans going.  Maybe an hour or two more, for what it is worth.  Then I'll have to shut things down.  I was able to stay awake until nearly 11:00 yesterday morning.  I am hoping to push back through to the afternoon today.  A 13:00, though 14:00 or even 16:00 down would be great.  Not sure I can keep it, depends on weather... a bit.  Too hot?  I'll keep spinning.  Too cold?  I'll crash.  Dark?  I'll crash.  If it just cools mildly, slowly, and doesn't get too dark for too long, I should... be able to grab the reins back, and saddle myself to some work.

Though, even if I crash for a bit, I know the time is coming.  It will cool, and reasonably... for a goodly spit of time... months.  I should be able to do some serious work, again, this fall.  And, very possibly well into winter.  Right up until winter shuts me down.

The plan?  To continue with the house, clearing, cleaning, sorting, and getting things that need to go into boxes and ready for another dumpster rental.  When I have two loads worth of boxes to go, then call it in.  And... keep digging.  One more month of dumps, and it should be good.  For now.

As well, I need to get to the wood out there.  Fallen branches, and the old wood I have behind one of the outbuildings.  Sort that out.  Plus, clean up the lawn, get rid of some of the hoses that are no good, rake, and such.  We will see how things go, but things went really well this spring.  And, I think, while I have fallen a bit, I am still way ahead overall.  Now to double what I had completed.

The goal is to nearly clear the place, to show, or to allow repairs and updates, or... both.  I will begin saving, again, in earnest, through the fall and winter.  To get some things done, in prep as well for a bike, just to have... things on a more even keel.  Cash in hand.  While I will be losing to low interest and high inflation, for bigger items and repairs, I have to have larger dollars around.  Though, through the winter, I will also be gearing for the bike, tools and riding protection, plus doing some sewing, but mostly focusing on saving for the spring.  Perhaps, if I have enough by January to be sure, start getting quotes for new electrical.  And, if the house is in shape, get quotes for kitchen flooring.  Maybe new living room carpeting.  Perhaps I could get a deal on a two for one thing, at some discount, sort of program.  Who ever knows.

So, I look, research and sort.  Though... there are other things.  Like learning maintenance on the water softener.  And... a few other projects I could do, in the house, myself.  So many things to do, but I... really hit it this spring.  And as mentioned, I think I can this fall, again, too.  On into nearing midwinter.  Work, work, work, work, work.  I do enjoy it, when I can.  It is nearing that time.  I am excited!  Later.
