Well, back up.

Oh, I thought I had gotten up.  Nope.  Went back upstairs to change clothes, and woke about half an hour ago.  I didn't even see the lights going out.  Must have been very tired.

When I woke, I checked outside.  It is, was, only 80.  And it smelled like rain if it doesn't look like any fell, or recently.  But it sure smells like rain.  I was wondering why it was so cool upstairs.  It as 68 and 72 near me.  And, yes, that's cool.  Cold.  I need to take another blanket or two up, if that is going to be the way of things.  

At 73 or higher, up to 76, I can sleep with just a sheet or such.  Above that I probably can't sleep.  Below that, 72 and down (with a fan), I sleep like the dead.  I can sleep down to 40 in the raw.  Probably less, I used to keep the window open in the winter.  When I first moved in, I couldn't sleep well when it was above 68.  I have changed, a bit.  Yes, summers were terribly miserable.  Still are, mostly.

Packages arrived.  Olive oil, onion powder, things mostly like that.  Though a pattern came.  Getting closer to beginning, I decided to look at the instructions.  Ugh!  Those are horrible!  With or without... what?  I don't know what that is!  And, just the instructions?  Full of terms I have never heard, or seen put that way.  I'll... have to look up terms until I can sort out what these dimwits are implying.  I think they must write these so as not to be understood.  A threshold thing.  They do that in many fields, and they do it just, to be honest, for assholery.  Oh, yes, they did it in engineering, like none other I suspect.  So, yeah, I'm used to it.  But I still don't like it.  

Oh, and got 10" fabric shears.  Not sure I will need them, but...  And I am trying Kia 8" shears.  I... am just curious.  I hear people say this and that, most likely, if you have shear for ten years?  And never get them sharpened?  Or twenty, or from your grandmother, who also never sharpened them?  Guess what, new shears will be sharper!  Sparkling midwits who just wish to spend money!  Fair enough, don't we all.  Anyway.  I want to compare apples to apples.  Gingher versus Kia, 8" fabric shears.  I'll let you know, in time.  And Klein scissors, for all else.  Yes, I actually researched scissors, long ago.  Kia didn't show up in my initial searches, strangely.  Or I might have started with those.  They are both foreign.  Kleins are, or are supposed to be, American made.  At least none of the (?) are said to be made in China.  But... you know how that goes.

Hungry.  I'll sort something out before too long.  Later.
