The internet went down.

.

Something tore the line, downtown.  Not sure what happened, exactly, only the result.  I realized it was down around 16:00, received a notice an half hour later that it would be back up by 17:30.  It wasn't back on at 00:20, when I finally gave up and went to bed.  I wanted to be to be earlier, I just... was waiting for it to come back online.  Nope.  I had to give up.

I finished all the dishes yesterday.  From washing, rinsing, drying, air drying, and putting up.  As well, I went to town, picked up some cash... always good to have a bit of money on hand.  Got the suv washed.  Got a meal.  Then came home.  I thought about groceries, but wasn't dressed well enough for it.  And, was tired, plus it was really hot.  I did what I had hoped to do.  Oh, and checked the mail on my way home.  All good.

On the way home, I saw a kid doing a lemonade stand, so I got one.  Then I saw a farmer selling corn.  So I got some of that, which ended up being a late supper.  When I got home, I went to set up the table, in the back.  Cast, with cast chairs.  It had tipped, so I righted it, ostensibly to have a place to husk the corn.  But I realized how bad the branches had gotten.

So, I got to work on the branches.  Some are twigs, but that pile is four foot high!  Not crushed down, compacted, but not just completely wildly branched, either.  Then I grabbed the four to six inch branches, as big as small trees.  There were half a dozen of those .  There is raking to be done, for the even smaller twigs, but that was it for yesterday.  A decent little project.  Wore me right out.

But, the kitchen is in really good shape, trash and recycling is out for now, the main of the branches are sorted, and dishes are done.  Not bad for a day off.  Today, though, yes... I am taking today off.  I might do some small things, in the bathroom.  Maybe the oven, today or tomorrow.  But I am sore and tired.  And, it is supposed to heat up this week, perhaps into the 100s?  Weird, but okay.

If so, though, I won't be doing as much.  I can still do small things, here and there, no matter.  Probably.  It has been a very good week, workwise.  And... bills have been paid, right off.  Always good.  Even if I am broke the rest of the month... not saying I am, just saying if I am... not having things weighing on the mind is good.  And, I have enough cash, and probably enough meat in the freezer, to get me by... eating more gently, which I have been anyway.

A very good start to the new month.  I may be in a bit of debt, but I have stored up a goodly lot of things.  And can make it, maybe, a year, if I had to eat lightly, and live on my stored grub.  It wouldn't be heaven, but it wouldn't be starvation.  I wouldn't have to become criminal to eat.

And, yes, I did place some orders.  Not as much as I was thinking.  But... some.  Some of it food, and replacing, keeping up on stocks of that, so... which I will do.  Must do.  If I can just maintain what I have, then I have that year of supply.  Plus, I would like to add a bit more, if most slowly now.

On to waking up.  then to something to eat.  Later.
