While dreaming, thinking.

I have a window I need replaced.  It is leaky, air gets through... not water.  It is old, ugly, doesn't open properly, or close rightly.  A big one.  I think it is 36" x 48".  I want, what, a double hung?  Right.  I think the last time I looked they were... six to eight hundred?  If that might have been in the middle of covid, so prices may have been... exorbitant?  Maybe.  Haven't looked since.

It would take a month or two of savings, so I could put half on credit, half in cash, if that is the price.  If it's a thousand or more now, than... longer.  No use grumbling, it is what it is.

So, initially, I am hoping to take the old window out, craft a new casing/frame, for the new window.  Get that squared and sized, for an easy replacement, when a window can be purchased.  And, then, close that in with plywood inside and out, and insulation.  Why take it out now?  I need to get an ac in there.  I can't handle another year of having it only be cool upstairs.  I... need some cool down here.  I just... I am getting too old.

As well, getting that done would make installing a window a lot easier and faster, when I can afford it.  I would probably need a hand with that.  But, with one window?  Having help, with the casing essentially constructed, and shims on hand, would only be an hour or two.

To that end, I texted someone I know, who might know, if he thinks I could remove the old window, create the casing, and lock it in with plywood in a day, solo.  I just... with the rain, lately, and else, I don't want that left open for any time.  Worst case scenario, I'd at least want tarping reading, in case something didn't work, or went wrong.

If he thinks I could doing it, knowing the work as he does, and me, I'll consider purchasing a few sheets of plywood, and perhaps some 2x4s for structural integrity since I am considering putting in an ac.  Well, that and a large ac.

Ah, decided to check.  Just one place, so far.  It would cost, if ordered today, $574... well, and taxes, title, tags, and the rest of the thievery.  So, what, $650?  Hmm...  Thinking.  No, I can't order it this month.  Oh, and delivery, if ordered today, wouldn't be until Pretty much August.  So... yeah.  If prices will fluctuate hugely, potentially.

Staying around 58 out there, 72 in hear near the computer.  Probably in the 68 range in the rest of the house.  Raining off and on.  Dark, out there.  No worries, I won't be cooking today.  A few kefirs.  I already had a fatted coffee, without sweetening.  That stuff, the sweetener, messes up blood sugar.  I'll, pretty much, fast today and tomorrow.  Maybe another complete fast tomorrow and or the day after.

Having trouble with blood sugar and weight.  So... pushing it.  Will push more, these coming weeks.  Yeah.  I want to snap that blood sugar problem.  Working, and exercise, possibly walking, might help.  Will... see.  Just not sure how safe it is out there for me.  I don't mind dying, I just don't want to be die like roadkill.  Especially on purpose.  Becoming a bit... more attentive to my paranoia, of late.  For... good causes.
