Up later again.

I did make it to a quarter after nine, or later.  It was a tough row to hoe, but I made it.  Sleep was pretty good.  I did pee two or, maybe three, times.  Better than usual, not what is hoped.

Since waking, I fed Sassy, cleared her litter box, cleaned out three of the pee jugs, but will probably get the other two cleaned out yet tonight.  Will also refresh water for Sassy.  It's still relatively clean, but I go by cleanliness and time.  Time is up.

I am hoping to make a few eggs and corned beef hash.  Perhaps half a can, putting the rest of the stuff up for tomorrow, or later?  I have some nearly done bacon I could put out there, too.  Live works well with a bit predone, or set up to go.  Currently consuming three cups of kefir.

I reset the kefir, too, earlier.  Pulling another dose of kefir grains, and storing them in the freezer.  I should have enough, currently, for four restarts.  Which I will probably use in June or July.  Resetting the whole thing, while keeping up with the old.  I just believe that kefir needs to be totally reset every three to six months.  It just does.  I am ready for the next two switches.  But, will use the old until the new is ready again.  If not for health reasons, for taste and texture reasons.  Kefir gets a bit tart, even for me, after a certain amount of time, even if it doesn't actually go bad.

I am now using about two gallons of milk a week.  Down from three.  And, using about a quart of cream.  Still, that is $25 a week, for the raw stuff.  Worth every penny.  Raw, unhomogonized, non-pasteurized, and quite good.

I have been thinking about how to increase the pressure, for the wet vac.  I am thinking of stuffing cloth in the overfill spout, and taping it too, then adding rag material into the drain area, so as to cut off all air access, save for the vacuum.  I really want it to pull the clog up.

If that doesn't work, I may try to put the hydraulic...

Okay, what I did do was hook up the hose to one of the hydraulic rockets, then put that in the sink drain.  I let it run for a bit, then checked.  Nope.  Just backed it up into the tub.  So... in time... I'll have to vacuum the water out, but this time I'll do a few other things.  But, thit time, I will close up the other accesses as best as I am able, then try to vacuum.  There are... five drains... six maybe including the laundry drain.  I'll block those off, using heavy pans with water in them, and rags... or rags and tape on the tub overflow opening.

Ugh. Well, I gave it a try.  And, while full of water, I tried the plunger again, to absolutely no good.  But, I did it.  Then again, I could try the plunger after blocking off all the other inlets.  That might work.  Worth a shot.  What a slog.

I washed up, after doing that.  I am thinking eggs, bacon, and corned beef hash would be good.  I would like some food.  More food, if you included kefir.  I'm... not sure I really count kefir as food.  It's a... strange thing.  Like mushrooms, when considering vegetables and meat.  You drink kefir, it just isn't a solid thing.  More like a thick fluid, but with more calories, if not a lot more.
