A bit late.

.

.

Not until 13:00 was I able to wake.  Oh, I turned, and checked the time, from 9:00 on, every couple of hours, or hour, or half hour.  It was 77 when I woke.  Upstairs, in both places I measure.  So, I shut the place down and turned the ac on.  May want a nap later.

Then, down.  It is pleasant downstairs, 74/74/75 near the computer.  Sassy got fet first thing, being late.  And I cleared her cat litter.  I have to say, I won't be needing the change her litter.  It just, even for my abuse, isn't in bad shape.  But I will clear it daily, from now on.  She is a happy cat, and so easy to care for.  A bit of a furball, a hefty girl, but a delight no matter.

Then, I checked the front porch.  Packages.  The clear spray paint I ordered.  I have been smelling my towels, since washing them, and they... smell good, I think.  Will check again anyway.  Still, would like to begin, one by one, going through them.  Using sandpaper, but also seeing if I can't put mesh to make sure critters can't get into them.  It's open, into the house, built in.  I... may be able to fix that.

As well, sewing needles.  A type, and the typical use type, for both my sewing machines and my serger.  But, not five for $7.69, or such, but a hundred for $35.  See what I did there?  Not only that, but at bulk, I will be much more likely to change needles sooner rather than later.  And... that is good for both the sewing projects and sewing/serger machines.  Sharp needles keep them cleaner.

Then, just to make sure, I washed the utensils.  Well, and a few novelty cast iron items.  I have a tiny cast pot and pan, might be useful for something.  And I have a cast iron bread pan.  I would, eventually, like to try a keto or paleo bread recipe.  Anyway, I got those washed, and put back in for a rinse.  The real next trick is to clear the clean dishes, pots, pans, and such, so there is room for these to air dry after being hand dried.  Then, I'll be able to say every counter, and item on them, has been washed and is clean.  For... now.

I am sore today.  I have pushed, for days.  I need a day, or two, off.  But, then, I will be back to it.  I really might be able to clean and clear the upstairs, this front room, the bedrooms, and the livingroom, before winter sets in.  If I can even work four days, and take three days at a much slower pace, through to the end of October, I... might really have a clean and clear house by then.  Hopefully, I will have enough boxes ready to go before winter sets in, so as to be able to rent a dumpster again, for a few weeks or a month... Hopefully through October.  So one of my goals is to clear this front room, band begin sorting boxes to be tossed and getting them in here.  But... I want this room cleared to the floor, the floor cleaned, walls cleaned, and then start bringing boxes in.

A guy can dream.  But, I've been toeing the line, fairly well, as I start up again.  So... who knows.  Maybe.  Heck, I even started up, right first thing, on my... technically... day off.  So.  Yea.  Later.

Oh, I might have to buy a timer.  Though, in my case?  Perhaps I will spend double the time, and two or three of those projects a day, for the first... say... month, two?  Yes, I think this might work.  I really have no clue, on some things.  But I am trying, and would like to get my world, and house, in order.  I will be ordering a timer.  I have some, but... not really all that good.  Looking for certain features.

Unfortunately, I am more like the kid than the mom.  But I can try.
