Nearing bedtime.

Cool, all day, mostly.  It's just 63 out there, currently.  Mostly cloudy all day as well.  But no rain.  Strange.  Probably a good thing.

On an interesting note, with all the rain and even snow melt that is still coming down?  My reverse osmosis system has a water impurity check, for both what I put in and what comes out (not terribly accurate, but... offers trends).  Water, here, for the last few years, even with water softening, has often read the input water, from the tap, in the 350 range, sometimes as low as the 220s.  Now it is reading particles in the low 80s.  So, yes, the water... extra water... is doing interesting things.

I did get two loads of laundry washed.  The last is drying.  Can't really put things out on the clothes line.  Far too high a chance of it being rained on.  So, I'll just use the dryer for now.  As well, I did find the half gallon jars, and got those washed.  I kept thinking they were in twelve packs.  Nope, six packs.

Still, between washing up the quart jars and the half gallon jars... actually some quart jars yesterday as well, I am ready to change out all of the jars, that haven't been changed recently, with regards kefir.  As well, I'll be able to set up another kombucha jar, though that one will be a scoby hotel.

As tired as I am, I did those few bits of work.  Trying for more, but... just can't.  I also made it through the part of the game I was stuck on.  Just.  But, now I can move on.  Lost a lot of time to that.  But... it's a first run.  And on the hardest difficulty.

The card I have with Amazon accepted the payment quickly this month.  The last few months they were taking days, up to a week, to accept payments.  This time, it only took a day?  So I was able to buy this month's list.  Cat food, sardines, compression socks I want to try, and one smaller size of another form which is working well for me.  I'm not sure I am ready for that size, but maybe.  Will find out.  I have gone from xxl, as I have mentioned, down to a large.  And, I may be ready for a medium.  Maybe.

So very tired.  But, it is just at 18:00.  I'd like to stay up just a bit later.  But probably won't.  Still, this is a good time.  I don't mind this time.  I just want the clothes in the dryer to be finished.  Then I'll go to bed.

Did I mention?  My mother called, when she got home.  Which... surprised me, for two reasons.  One, I... didn't expect a call for about six days.  Perhaps I lost track, or she didn't understand that she would be leaving as soon as she had suggested the time we talked before this last time.  The other was, I didn't expect a call just when she got home (technically the next day, but she got in after midnight, so that didn't count).  I... was a bit impressed.  Sometimes I sense she really doesn't like me.  So... a bit surprised.  All good though.

Hoping to do a bit more work tomorrow.  A shower first thing, with nothing in the way.  And a clogged sink.  Probably turning the kefir over, as well.  I will strain everything, into clean jars.  Big and little.  As well, I'll begin seeing about getting a couple of plywood sheets, and see if I need 2x4s as well.  Get that arranged.  As soon as those arrive, I will see about tearing out the old window.  Yeah.

So very tired.
