A very pleasant day.

Sure, it's warming.  Into the mid 80s.  The house is warming.  Into the mid 70s and higher in the front room.  No ac on, a few fans.  Sometimes these temps are difficult, some days they are quite... nice.  Today, up to very recently, they have been nice.  Starting to stretch things.  I can fix that.

Gaming, mostly.  A bit of caring for Sassy, her needs.  As well, I made burgers and set out a steak, salting and peppering them.  I let the burgers sit for a while, to see if salting and bringing to room temperature does to burgers what it does to steaks.  And?  One data set won't give a perfect answer, but... yes.  I think so.  Less salt is needed.  Next time I'll about halve the salt.

The steak is going to be really ready.  With it, I wanted to see if four hours was better than two, or one usually is what I do.  Salted, with garlic powder, and fresh ground black pepper.  Wrapped in cling wrap, just to keep it clean.  Two meals in one day, pretty nice.

My mother called, just to give me her new phone number.  Okies.  How is it the fed is going broke, and yet can pay for every senior, disabled, and retired person's phone?  Seriously?  Actually, everyone else is probably paying for it, and more.  Just by paying for your own phone, you are financing everyone else's, even if you are disabled.  No, I... would rather not.  Hmm, may just drop my phone.  That would fix that.  I rarely use it anyway, find some other... method of communication?  Email?  Dunno, thinking.

Received a notice, from microsoft, that they are changing their terms of service, and I am being required to sign up and in, or drop out.  I may see about going to linux.  Just get rid of ms.  Can't be trusted.  I don't want to sign in, or up.  I won't give them my birthday, or anything else.  Either I use my machine, and am left alone, or I'll figure something else out.  I'm not sending any new or more allowances.  I'd need a lawyer to look over to contract, and don't have one fresh on tap.  I don't know what I am signing, or signing away, and have no interest.  May lose the computer for a while, if I am not able to arrange a different OS before the cutoff.  I'll... review when the cutoff is.  Or, eventually.  So much gobbledygook that it's hard to read or find pertinent details.  This machine, thankfully, is older.  Should do well enough with linux.

I'd still like to get a shower.  Changed the sheets, aired the bed out, and shuffled the mattresses yesterday.  So... doing good with some things.  Need to clean, pretty desperately.  But... doing some little things, here and there.  Might even put a load of laundry in today, if I think I can flip it to the dryer before bedtime.  Whites.  Yeah.  Two things would be nice.
