Rough.

.
.
I just can't wake up.  Nor, really, can I sleep right now.  Oh, I may try anyway.

Well, I will try to stay awake.  Perhaps have a fatted coffee.  Maybe something to eat.  It is 80 in here, with the fans going, the place open.  It doesn't feel hot, but... I think it is getting to me.  At 77 or higher, I just don't do well.  An improvement, but still a limit.

Slight catches, in my neck and shoulders.  No pain, just... when I look or flex or turn, there is a bit of a hitch in there.  Probably more from so much sitting.  Well, and sleeping.  I am most likely not rolling as often as I should.  Still, I have had much worse.  

For whatever reason, it just isn't cooling.  Not insider, perhaps not outside either?  It is 67 outside.  So, much cooler much earlier tonight.  Yesterday, as late at 02:00? or so, it was still 70.  At 22:41, (12:41 + 10 hours = 22:41, or 10:00 pm for some of you).  That isn't cooling off the inside, much, however.  Or... not yet.  I really can't believe it is 80 in here, with all the fans going and it being 67 out there.  Bah!

Oh, while still looking at the variations of the modern JIS screwdrivers, I found some in the smaller sizes.  I'm not sure if they actually go down to glasses sized drivers, but I will find out.  I ordered some.  I should  end up with a reasonable number of these, in various sizes.  I just went looking for some philips screws, close by.  Found some, but they were too small for the drivers I have.  I currently have access to the 3 and 2 sizes, and have 1s, .75s, and .5s (maybe another size as well) on the way.  Further, in time, I'd like to get their flat blades also.  It is said they fit metric flats much better (though don't work as well in sae, unlike the JIS versus philips).  Which makes sense, really.  Blades cut for metric will have slop in them, just as sae will have slop in JIS flat screws.  Whereas philips are made to slip even philips screws, while the JIS were made to bite and hold, and don't bottom out.  Totally different mechanical operations and fits.

I enjoy sorting things.  Even if I'll never use a tool again, I... will collect them.  Though, there is hope.  I love tinkering.  It's just that I have to be able to stand, move around, think, find the tools, find the thing to fix... or break.  Breaking things is almost as fun as fixing things, especially if you go on, then, to figure out how to fix the breakage.  

Bah... got lost again, looking something over.  What?  Oh, pressing and padding.  Well, and a bit more.  I have a woolen pressing mat, but... have some doubts.  Had them on my own, or I wouldn't have been looking.  Further, for the new tables... I was worried about height, being tall and not wishing to be bent when working.  As well, I... was thinking of how to make the work tables not only high enough, but also, potentially, useful for ironing, or pressing, larger lots of fabrics.

This gal pretty much had it all.  I didn't even realize she would go on to discuss the bigger table, and how she worked that.  But, that was like... a fourfer... a twofer squared?  Sort of.  So, yea.  I can't get that set up for a while, but all things in time.  For me though, I have two of those tables.  My size may make two tables functional, and easier for me.  Though, too, perhaps I could have one set up for a slimmer single use, and have kit set up to be able to use both tables at once.  Perhaps only one would be needed, though only time will tell.

I have some pieces, and parts, like muslin and wooden thin cutting boards I ended up not liking for functional issues... but would work well with this.  And, I have some materials on the way, which will allow the rest.  Oh, and I have staplers which should work.  Yea... but there is always something... not enough of this, or the wrong stuff, or don't like the stuff?  Eventually, over time, it gets done.  And, maybe, there is enough to do it all... someday.  Or... all for a subset of projects.  If... then... you have to get to the actual projects?  :p  Bleh. 

How do we figure things out?  Mistakes.  Making as many, as safely and inexpensively as possible, seems to be the way.  I am getting things set up, buying notions, fabrics, and expendables, and will be... finding things out soon.  Hopefully, as the temps drop, I will figure a lot more out, and be able to work more.  Sewing isn't too physical, but it will require concentration and mental effort.  Which... is as difficult, for me, as physical effort.  But that is all good.  I am learning to do more, just not in the extremes and depths of heat and cold... though the cold might be better, as I improve.

Yea...  Anyway...  Hopefully to get to a few things tonight.  I'll trim and shower right after this, then see what else is possible.  Trying to get a bunch done, and then to bed, so as to be up and at it earlier tomorrow.  Later.
