I had the windows and door open for much of the afternoon. Finally closing things down around 18:00? So, probably, open for four to six hours? Something like that. It had cooled to 42 outdoors when I decided to shut things down. Indoors it got to 66. It was that, at the start, in this front room. It was 70 in the rest of the house.
By the time I closed things up it had only dropped to 66 everywhere. And didn't seem to be cooling much beyond that. So, really, a nice day. Getting fresh air in is always good. It's, just, that usually it feels too cold unless it is in the 50s. It must just be something to do with spring coming so late, and extra sun (when it shines, as it was today). Dunno, but I was able to enjoy the fresh air.
If this continues to be a doable thing, I will not just open up down here but will open a window or two, to create a crosswind, upstairs. That should be nice. But I will close things up before it gets too cold. The furnace does a good job off getting the place warmed back up, quickly. It was only down to 66, but still. It was back up to 72 in less than half an hour? After closing the house back up. Nice.
I let a friend know, of a device I would like to see if he could make. Not a... fantastically creative, or difficult, tool. Used to put threeded rods into walls, to create floating shelves. Now, the video had a simple system. I had some ideas on that. I want either the six inch handles suggested, but as a base. Either adding handle extenstions, or creating tools with the six inch, but also with twelve and maybe eighteen inch handles, for when there is room, to make installation easier. As well, the one suggested in the vid only had one size bolt, for getting a threaded rod, of just one size, into the wall. Well? There are times I would want the thicker bar, but there may be times when I would rather have thinner bar.
I am not sure how many sizes of threaded bar there are. But if there are three common sizes, I would like to have all three bolts on the handles, so that I can make shelves of various sizes and strengths. Yes, yes, I know. I take a plan, tear it down, and redo it. To my liking, given my want of greater capacaities, ease of use, and increased flexibility. Especially if it doesn't cost much more. Just... do it well, and right, and... get it done.
To that end, I experimented with sending a y.t. video via text messaging. A first for me. I didn't do it from the phone, though I suppose I could have. I just typed it in manually. It worked. Trying to explain the thing would have been... nearly impossible. Much shorter, and quicker, to just send a vid.
He got it. Thinks it might be doable. Will find out probably Thursday, at the earliest. Hoping to get a rough quote then or Friday. Plus, find out how much those threaded bars, of various diameters, go for per foot, yard, or whatnot. Sometimes it is cheaper enough by the ten or twenty to buy that way. Sometimes a foot or twenty is all the same.
I checked. I do have an appointment coming up. Feet. The last time the gal I have been working with will be here. Then, on to someone else. She has a few people she would recommend. Will see if they work out. But will probably take a few months off. Then just go in every other month from now on. My feet have truly begun to be better.
I feel like I really am dying, or doing bad. But some things have improved. I don't understand. A bit more kefir, more painpills, and waterpills today as well. I haven't been able to do as much as hoped. Hardly anything. But I have had something of a day. Gotten a few things done, planned. And I might be crashing anyway.
The sun is starting to fade. It is cooling? No, the temp is 67 in here, in the front room. And 72 everywhere else, save the other front room and the upstairs, where heat doesn't get fed. I suppose I am just wearing down, so the body is cooling, or feeling like it is cooling. Yea. On to bed.
