A rather good sleep.

.
.
The first alarm beat me by >.< that much.  I was getting up, just hadn't quite gotten up.  Six, the other one was set to eight.  A bit tight, the last, but going to bed so late, I feared putting the alarms too close together.  And, just realized, if it was the late alarm that worked, I'd have to rush.  Even so, I feel rushed.  The time isn't the time.  The time is actually an hour before the time, or half hour if I push it.  I hate pushing it.

I did get the last things done.  The serger is kitted, fitted, and ready to travel.  Everything but the manuals is in the bag.  The carry bag and all, plus the manuals, is down here, ready to go.

Sassy did sleep with me most of the night.  She also coughed up a hairball!  Ugh.  Thankfully I saw it before finding it with my foot.  *sigh*  It's... what they do.  Even with me helping to groom, brushing her fur, itching and massaging, she just has a lot of hair.  Though Sam had short hair, and still had problems too.  It's... just... a lot of fur, and a lot of grooming, and the cost of all the pretty fur.  Though, it's not done to be pretty.  Clean, but only to the degree that it neutralizes their odor, so that they are less of an easy target.

I even got medicine in, if I had to come down and do it after having almost forgotten?  Last night, yesterday night, maybe both.  I've had to insist.  But have been doing it.

First thing this morning, I made the bed.  I did okay, with it a bit frumpy last night.  But, would rather have it in better shape.  Especially as it gets cooler.  It was 67/66 upstairs, and 68/66 down here.  And it is 44 outside, and dry from the looks of it.  Another dry day or two, and I should be able to get on weeds, and maybe some of the branches.

A new week.  This week?  Just the same old list I haven't been able to hit.  Boxes, in here, then to town.  Then stripping this room to the floor and walls, save the computer and desk, and the book shelves.  Though I may begin pairing those books.  Some... just... won't ever be used again.  Some won't be, but I will keep.  Some are dated.  I will keep one each of the math type books, per subject.  And else, most likely.  Though, just one level per.  And, some, very old German books, will go.  I will only keep the newer language books of various sorts.  Well, and there are other books that just have no purpose anymore, never really did.  But those aren't the main aim, just a part of it.

I brushed my teeth first thing.  I will play a few games of Doom.  Just to get my brain and fingers going.  Then to drain the dishes, get a shower, put them back for a rinse.  Perhaps trim the beard just a tad.  Then to get dressed, so I almost look presentable.  What a world.  I may start pricing things, for the Xterra.  An oil filter, gas filter if it has one, and synthetic oil... plus other fluids... transmission, brake, radiator, who all knows.  I'll need a checklist.  I just added a gallon of wiper fluid.  I use it straight.  I have a new air filter, a cab filter, and a foam  to clean out a specific part of the air system.  The breaks sound great, but I would like to check them.  And, get her up, and just look around.  Perhaps lightly clean the engine, check the battery.  All sorts of fun things.  But, not until the first, for much of it.  Even if the breaks are a bit worn, not sure I can change the parts, or other parts, out for another month.  But I can check them.  Though I may be able to get some of these things done yet this week.

Well... on to a bit of gaming.  Then to a shower.  Hopefully, can do a morning duty before the shower.  But... you know how that sometimes works.  Want to, it blocks up and refuses.  What that, a woman, and a child, often have in common.  :p  Later.
