Well...

Towels in, folded, put away.  But that is about it for today.  I realized, at about 20:00, that I hadn't turned the ac on at noon, or ever.  So, I went upstairs to check.  Not... horrible.  At 75/77, not bad at all.  I opened things up, and have three fans going, for the moment.  When I get up there, I will turn one of the little ones off, the one that has been running all day.  If that is as bad as it gets, I may be done with the ac.

It is 72 outside, 79 in this front room, 77 in the main room.  Mostly because I have been in there, gaming, for most of the day.  Which is fine.  It'll cool down, now that I have opened things up.  Maybe another couple of meat sticks, for something something.  Not... really hungry.  But at 900 to 1200 calories a day, I don't mind going to 1200 on some days.  Not even sure this will do it.  But, under 1200 is fine.

I did a few other things, just minor things, through the day.  Not getting me to where I want, housewise, but needing done anyway.  I'll probably clean the water softener a couple more times, then go to a yearly thing.  I am hoping it shows in the water, but who knows.  When you get used to softened water, it doesn't really feel different.  Though I am not convinced it was softening the water, was just salting it?  I... it wasn't working as it should have.  We'll see, I suppose.  Actually, my eyes were stinging when showering, even facing away.  I suspect there was salt just going through, along with hard water, for a double whammy.  I'll know shortly.

What is strange about the grout, betwixt the shower and tub?  It is only bad in about an eight inch strip.  The rest is very good.  I wonder if the salt, and hard water, are the problem.  They seem to drip from the base of the faucet.  I suppose I could check that out too.  Always something.

Well, on to some snacks and more water.  I have finally started being able to drink regular water.  It took a long time.  And I'm still not the best at it.  I don't understand what was, or even still is, the problem.  But I seem to be, mostly, over it.  Though, from time to time, I do doctor it... with vinegar, electrolytes, and even good quality sea salt.  Or, more often, a mix of some or all of those.  But, rarely these days.  Just when I get a hankering.  And the odd thing is, regular water used to make me really dry.  Now it doesn't.  Further, I don't wake up with a dry throat at night, or in the morning, as I used to do.  Not nightly, but... often.  Several times a week.

Yes, a snack, to finish my game level, then on to bed.  Dishes in the morning, and a shower... with fresh towels... yum!  Then, maybe, some straightening upstairs, the hatch bars (gah!), and laundry to be washed?  Not sure if I have much to wash, but... maybe, around.  Hmm, and breakfast, a good one... eggs and corned beef hash.  Or lunch.  Goodnight.
