A rather busy day, yesterday.

.

A bit of housework.  Dishes are being caught up.  I suppose six loads were run through, have of them finished and even to put away.  Three more loads sit in ready to be finished.  Not sure how many loads remain, but not many.  I keep tinkering in the back hall, with tools, trying to figure out... where to put things, how to store things.  I'll... figure it out before long.  For now I just... fuss.  But it's being sorted.

As well, foodstuffs are being sorted, on the kitchen table.  As well as cooking and other equipment which have just been sat on the table.  That a bit more slowly, but... bit by bit, I am trying to... find a place for everything, so everything thas a place.  Improving.

While I was out, I picked up new filters, and strapping material for the pipes downstairs.  To hold up one of the sides.  When I got home, I changed the filter out (probably not needed, but these are better filters, and it is end of the season).  As well, I did work on the pipes.  After that stop, where I picked up those things, I went looking for a more fitting patch... for the pipes.  And found one.  A 1 1/2" fits really tight, but fits, whereas the 2" patches seem far too big.  I wrestled the patch on, and got the metalic bar tape bolted on one end.  But I need to figure out a way to get the pipe stabilized, up, so that I can get the strapping around it.  I wonder if my farmers jack might work?  It would have to be a trick, say jacking a 2x4 up from it, to hold the pipe up.  Ugh.  But... working on it.

A few other things, as well.  Not... a race, but a bit of doing.  As well, it got to 62 yesterday.  So, when I got home from all the running, I opened up the house, both upstairs and down, and opened the divide between the two.  Even with the wind, it was good.  I left it that way as I slept.

Boy, though, the chill at times, as the wind raced last night, was something something!  I didn't shut it down, I just got under the blankets better.  Even Sassy wanted under the covers last night.  It only got down to ~61 in the main, to 59 up front.  With, of course, the furnace off.  But, as of seven, it was 34 outside.  The sun is up, so I suspect it will be a warmer day again today.

As well, while out, I took care of some financing.  Then, when returning home, arranged another batch of financing.  And, finally, ordered the meat for Monday... or Tuesday.  They talked me out of the steak, but I may order it, anyway, today.  It will have to do, if they still have it available.

A shower the last two days.  May take another later today, if I can finish dishes.  Or... not.  But I am keen on the idea.  The dishes are my primary target.  As is swimming laundry.  I think the patch will hold, even as it is, for laundry.  Bleh.  As well, try to finish the patch, maybe before I attempt laundry.

Sassy has been fed, but I need to empty her litter.  I did several times yesterday.  Sometimes she goes through the night, sometimes not.  I just like her having a clean start to the day.  Hmm, it's low enough, and near the end of the month.  I may just empty this batch, and then reset with a fresh litter box and new litter.  Might as well.

Oh, blood sugar!  It was 197 fasting, first thing!  Very pleased with that.  That is definitely the lowest fasting blood sugar so far, and the second lowest number I got it to.  The tortilla, yesterday, jacked blood sugar a lot.  While I was out, I stopped for a steak and a beer.  A rare treat.  No worries, a local brew, and just one.  I figured, since I had ruined my blood sugar, might as well enjoy it fully, with the beer.

But, when I got home, blood sugar had dropped from the high of 291 back to 220?  Cool.  So, perhaps the steak (rare) helped... more than the beer hurt?  Crazy.  And the 197 this morning is just awesome!  Vinegar, ftw?!?  Absolutely crazy.

I don't know what is happening, or why it is happening.  All I know is that it is happening.  I'll not ever be up to snuff, but maybe I can... be slightly better?  Do a bit more?  I'll find out, as I continue to stumble through life.  Or, maybe, this is just a better but shorter life?  I'll... happily take that, if that is what comes.  Later.
