Steady temp.

Did it ever get to 84?  Or has it been 83 all day.  I just can't remember with certainty.  But, it is 83 out there, and has been that, or about it, since I woke at noon.  It has bee 77 in the cooler part of the house, pretty much all of it, downstairs.  Upstairs, with act and a fan on, it's probably closer to 72/74, 73/75.  But it is a bit warm.  Cloudy, part of the day.  The sun was out, last I looked... or seemed to be.

A few meat sticks, and a few four ounce cups of fruit.  Tasty, but not very filling.  I am getting a potato baking.  And, when that is done, will slice a few pieces of the port roast and have some of that.  Just a bit more, and more solid, food.  I may go on to bed after that.  Hopefully to wake in the cool dark.

Though, who knows.  I may end up sleeping the whole night, just waking tomorrow morning, or afternoon.  I'm not in complete control.  I'm not in much control.  Sassy has been fed and otherwise tended.  A package arrived.  I did place a rather small order for the month.  Some things for sewing.

One of the things I ordered was a pair of adjustable tables, 5'x2'?  Something like that.  To be put together, sometimes.  Plus a hard plastic top which will create a 5'x4' platform, when put on top of the tables.  As well, batting that should cover the whole thing, and clips to hold the batting and top to the tables, melding them into one piece, and offering something to pin things down to.  Not sure about thickness, that is trial and error.  

Plus a few other things.  A few patterns, to experiment on a few ideas.  Plus replacements for food and expendables I generally use here at home.  Still, a much smaller order than has been the case of late.  And mixed between food and sewing.  As well, I paid down on my credit cards, heavily.  If one will be used to finish off the serger on layaway.

Sometime this week I hope to get in to town, pick that up, put some money in the account, then wait to see how things turn out.  Not spend another nickel, until I see where things are after the dust settles.  I would like to add money to savings.  Anything else free will be used to pay off more of the card.  Have to keep enough to cover little things, here and there.  Gas, electricity, and other little picayune expenses.  Plus, to have a bit in there would be good.  As well, I have to get some in on utilities.  Not sure I can get it all, but if so... I'll do that before else.  Well, and it's good to keep a bit more in there.  In case anything should happen.  Having room on credit cards is also an emergency move, for now.  But I do have savings, as well.  Small, but... I could do... something, small, in an emergency.

I called my mother, again, again, again.  She did answer, but said she was busy.  That was four hours ago?  Six... five, after checking.  Whatever.  If she is too busy, I guess that is the way of it.  I'll leave that alone until she calls.  I'm not upset.  She gets tired, she is older, life moves fast.  More impatient, if you know what I mean.

Well... nearing time for dinner.  Then, probably, just on to bed.
