A few things?

Experimenting, with life.  How to make life... quicker, easier, reduced, better?

I doubt if there is a way to perfect life.  All one can do is make life a bit simpler, slightly easier, and bit more manageable, and such?  But, there is a trade-off.  Always trade-offs.  You don't get better, faster, cheaper, easier.  Not without a price, and probably a variety of costs.  The question?  Can you, will you, afford those costs, prices, trade-offs?

A simple one.  Nutmeg.  While I love coffee?  I used whole cream.  Now, I have sorted a recipe that allows me to really enjoy the drink, have something warm through the day, and nutritious to a degree.  And... I... need the caffeine.  Just the way of it.

But... it's so rich!  It really is.  Beautiful.  And, some days I really like it as is.  But... sometimes... I'd like just a little something something to cut that.  First attempt?  Nutmeg.  Fresh, whole bean.  Bean?  Seed?  Not absolutely sure.  But, from the whole of the body of the spice.  Ground.

Now, I had purchased a bundle of those.  Never did get to them, but someone else did.  They... are gone.  Would have been old, now, so... I don't care.  But, they disappeared when still fresh, so I never had the chance.  They only stole one of the grinders.  I still had one, unopened.  Yes, I... buy things in groups.  Because.  Shut it.

So, when these arrived tonight, I opened one of the two packs of them... told you... buy in groups.  Then opened the grinder.  And got to it.  Nothing too difficult.  I probably grated... a third of a teaspoon?  Give or take an eighth.  :p  Added that to the coffee grinds, in the french press.  Then, let it steep with the coffee.

Honestly?  I can't taste it.  But?  It did seem to cut the richness.  I may have to try other things.  Mace, for example.  If, also, from the whole thing.  As well, all-spice (from whole nut/bean), and some other things.  Just... variety, and to cut that richness... of good coffee and whole raw cream.  I... need... a bit more.

Beside that?  I ordered larger "camp towels".  I love my massive cotton towels, but for travel, they weigh a ton, and take up a LOT of space.  And, for ease of care?  There is no way I could wash my cotton turkish towels and have them dry in even a week!  Ugh.  Massive things.  But, these new towels?  I am hoping to be able to use them, for several days to a week?  Then wash them right in the shower.  Two, so I have a fresh one always to use.  Then hang and have it dry, probably by the next day.  Efficiency, and yet a large enough towel to even tend a... smaller giant.

As well?  A bluetooth earbud set, to try that again.  Maybe use it for other devices.  Would like a single earbud set to work with the phone, computer, and console?  Larger cookie cutters (4 1/2" to start), a group of them, in order to create burger patties.  Should be thick enough so that I can make 1/4 pounders and half pounders, for variety.  Maybe a third of a pound patties too?  Well, if it can do those other two, than it can split the difference.  Just until I decide which works best for me.  Though... variety is good.  As well, I ordered 13" cube drawers, which should fit the 14" square wire storage areas.  Just two sets, of six, to start.  But, if those work well, I'll order enough for the rest.  Just putting an old flat sheet over the whole kit, perhaps with a board on top, or under the sheet?  So as to have a flat surface for shoes or else?

Oh, and finally, ordered some bar holders, so as to create a hanging bar in the closet up there.  Ugh.  Enough for two bars.  I only then need to find an inch to inch and a third dowel, long enough for fit in there.  And, maybe, nail or screw that securely in?  Or... with the thing hold.  I'll... find out when it arrives.  Trying to get my world back in order... from decades of being lost.

Doing things.  Trying to change things up.  Attempting to make life more... functional.  I have to push.  Pull?  Triangulate.  Work the gig.  I don't want to die, as things are.  If nothing else, I want them to like the look of my house, when they come to drag me out.  I want them to appreciate my efforts, maybe take a queue from me.  Not like this.

We will see.  Hmm.  Now on to some burger, mushroom, and gravy.  Good night... evening really, and good morning.  Later.
