A twelve hour sleep.

Much needed.  I pushed too hard recently.  Beyond physical exhaustion, the heart is so worn I have some concern.  As well, fluid was drastically collecting in my legs, ankles, and feet.  While compression socks back on, if after only a day off, I will take a few remaining waterpills today.  Say three.  And, if that doesn't do what is needed, five tomorrow.  No, I just went with five today.  And, probably, three tomorrow.  Then that should be good for a while.  

I checked first thing, outside, this morning.  It is 24 F.  It looks like some snow came down last night, but almost nothing stuck (to the driveway, difficult to tell out in the yard).  The driveway remains very clear, if not 100%.  Still around... 85 to 95 percent clear.  And what has snow just has a very light dusting sticking to it, along edges.

A few last orders coming in.  Some for the flattop grill, which itself is supposed to arrive Friday.  Some for the hammock gear, improved equipment.  Then I'll be on a financial diet for the month.  But I will have some things to tinker with.

Oh, after putting the garage door rollers in, I'll need to look around for oil.  Just a light coat of something or other.  I may do more tinkering with the folding doors, upstairs.  I really hate that they aren't well squared.  I think the bottom hinge plate on the left side is too low.  Maybe both of them are too low.  Not... sure they did anything but shove them in, at ground level, and call it good.

I will be receiving new drains for the kitchen sink, as well.  And a few other parts and pieces.  Those will go in when I can, probably yet this week, maybe yet today.  And I received a sheet metal bending tool, in order to tinker on the part of the furnace ducts which contain the filter.  It doesn't stay in there well.  I'd like to get that sorted.  Other parts and pieces are also arriving, in my final orders.  I may be able to really get some things sorted.  Little things, but things which have been on my mind for a long time.

While I hold my breath until next month, I will be trying to get the house clean, get to mass, and get back into the pool.  Something I will do today is find my swimming gear, get it washed.  Find a carrier for the goggles and such.  And have it all ready, while getting my mind ready.  I am hoping to be in to both mass and swimming soon.  Oh, I best check the swimming schedule, to see what would be the best times.  I can do that first thing.

On to my day.
