Almost done.

.
.
The towels, the big ones, aren't dry yet.  The shirts, dishtowels, and else, were all ready.  So, after weed whipping a few areas up front, and along the driveway, I grabbed those in.  Taking them upstairs to fold and sort.  Bringing down all the towels from now and previous laundry.

I can hope the big towels will dry by bedtime.  I'll check them.  Other than those, which are beyond my control, I only have a shower to manage.  And, maybe, food to wrangle.  I'll try to turkey burger.  If it fries up well enough, doesn't taste too old, and such, I'll add some keto beef gravy and the miracle noodle rice, or the other rice.  Maybe a side of something.  Beats?  Maybe.  They go well with beefy type food.

Or, maybe not.  But a shower, after I have cooled down, nearing sundown.  Perhaps checking, and hopefully bringing in the bath sheets before.  Well, I still have to make the bed.  I tore it down this morning, as it was a mess even last night but I couldn't do a whole lot about it.  I meant to make the bed sometime during the day, but... I've been busy.  I have to do it tonight.  All good.  Sassy is enjoying being up there.  She loves my bed, at least when there are no blankets, just the sheet, on it.  Strange bird?  I suppose we are all strange birds.

What a day!  Sweating?  Yes, covered in it, slathered.

Tomorrow?  Fixing, or finishing, the wood pile, with what fits.  Possibly cutting things to fit, for the base.  As well, maybe cutting some of the rest, so as to fit the pile, and burn easily, if needed.  Plus, maybe getting the concrete mixed, and poured, in the drive... to fill the hole.  Might look for a tar to cover that, seal it maybe, for the winter?  Dunno.  Thinking on it.

Oh, and a personal thing?  Maybe put the hammock up out there, with a tarp over it?  Maybe.  Perhaps even sleeping out in it, tomorrow night, just for a lark.  Or several nights.  It should be cool enough.  I'll be in at least a tshirt and heavy pajama bottoms, probably too with longjohns, and maybe a housecoat... black or plaid.  What I often wear when doing things in the cooler part of the day.  Or minus the housecoat.  It's what I have been working in today.  I just never saw fit to getting properly dressed!  But, it is enough.

Still this week?  Other than getting the wood sorted and stored up, the cement fix to the drive, this room is still high on the list, as is getting some boxes everywhere sorted, stored, possibly ready to toss.  But, clearing this room down to the nubs, as much as possible, and cleaned floor to ceiling as needed, is the gig.  Then begin putting boxes to be tossed in here.  Stored neatly and ready for the dumpster.

I won't be able to tar the drive until next month, no money to work with.  Though, from here on, I am cutting spending, getting a few things managed otherwise, and just spending on things like the dumpster rental and pickup, and minor home improvement things.  Perhaps a few gallons of better pain, and equipment, but a slow build up... enough to paint a few rooms.  But, slowly, storing up and paying off.  I have been stuck on spend, for a while.  I have as much as I can have, for now.  Now to go back into ant mode.  Though the grasshopper mode was an expense of extreme ant mode.  Do you not remember the children's tale?  Perhaps they don't teach that anymore?  Why would they, they don't want you to think, or plan, just eat it all and hope for tomorrow.

Very nice.  I am so pleased.  I didn't think I'd be able to work, after yesterday.  Not sure how I am doing this... by the grace of God?  It certainly isn't from my graces, or form.  But I am loving it.  Even the pain is... a pleasure.  It is earned.  I can give that to God.  He's... used to getting that from me.  A cripple's form of a widow's mite, I suppose.  Not much, but all I have.  If, too, I try to give Him prayer, gratitude, spread His blessings to family, friends, and enemies.  I do what I can.

Well... on to a bit of a rest.  Then perhaps to the turkey and else if it makes a reasonable meat crumble.  Some in for dinner, should it work out.  Some for another meal.  Oh, I think I have a few more.  I should put those in the fridge-freezer before I forget them again.  Not as good as hamburger, but not bad.  And lower calorie, for what that's worth.

Good afternoon, evening, day.
