No time to write. Until now.
I was up... I think I wrote about my morning. I did get a shower in. Then got dressed and out. I went to the office of one of my doctors, obtained an order, for bloodwork. Then did a bit of shopping there. Then went to costco for a bit more shopping. Filled the tank. And? Something else, that first run.
On back to home. I was expecting company. I thought we would be looking over the place, making placement decisions. The new fridge would be easy. Same place as before? It was the dishwasher that was going to be tricky. And, I just wanted to know what, and when. In case we needed to delay the delivery for the d.w.
Well? That's... my friend looks with this hands. So? So... we... ended up completely relocating the drop in freezer, litter boxes for a bit, and refrigerator. Everything was moved to the southwest, or more southwest for the drop in. All set up. Then, where the refrigerator was, I swept that a bit.
We made a list, when to town, and picked up pex pipe and fittings, drain materials, and some electrical... to move an outlet that is problematic. When we got home, we drilled holes in the floor, set up pex (or sich), plus fittings, for the run to the d.w. Set up new shut-off valves indoors, and added a faucet down there. So that if I need to turn off the water, to do work on something, in the winter, I can still easily get a bucket of water.
Oh, we... worked. He far more than I. But I did... okay. I didn't fall asleep this time. I... sometimes... when pushed... have done that. But no. Mostly a tool grabber. But that is okay. And holding the light so he can see what he was doing. I did a few things, too, though. And helped move the fridge and freezer.
Here it was, 20:00, when we finished for the day? The water is running, on and all back set up. With the water running up to where the d.w. will go. The only thing really left is rewiring the electrical, and making the sfgh (or whatever, you... know or you don't). Well, and moving that up, and over a bit. But, plenty of wire. So no real issue.
Oh my word though. Not all that hot, but... I was pushing it. Still? Not bad. Not bad at all. I am a bit worn, but not broken down, as I would have expected. I will sleep well tonight.
I finished the sub sandwiches. Never did check blood sugar earlier. I expected it to be between three and four hundred. Meh. Anyway, I thought I would check, this evening. Thinking it would be that higher or higher. Hmm... no. Not exactly fasting, either. I just finished the last bit of the last quarter an half hour ago? Or so. Still... It was 118? Crazy. The heat, and work, and else, must have... reset something.
I am cooking a ribeye, as I write. Yes. Yes I am. I'll eat that, then get night meds in, then go on to bed. Wow. What a day.
I may have to just crash tomorrow, and even the day after? But I'd like to dig in, if at all possible, to make room for the reefer, and clean a bit. I have until Monday, but stalling is never good for me. And there is always more than there seems. I'll... get going.
Ah, it is a Bosch 800. The sale was worth it. And, to be honest, the cost of the two was about what I had hoped to pay for the bigger refrigerator. But it just wouldn't fit. None of the bigger ones fit. So... I'm not really out. Was planning to spend nearly that anyway.
If my friend ends up moving in, he'll have that, anyway. And, even if I can just plug and push dishes through, life should be far easier for me. And I might be able to clean and clear the place, without having to break my neck trying to keep up on dishes. Ugh. This is a higher end, but not so high end they just break and get tossed. Junk at the nosebleed high ends and low ends. The middle has been the better, if... you never know these days.
Ugh... Oh, dinner is ready. Good evening and goodnight.
Have a Bosch, good unit, had for 10+- yrs. Keep the screen/ strainer in the bottom clean, and you're good. Cleans well and doesn't melt plastic containers like old ones did. Would recomend.
ReplyDeletePicked up #1 son from amtrak this morning, went to breakfast. "little bit of everything" mixed into scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast (left the toast)& coffee. Son had similar... 50$ two normal breakfasts 50 bucks!!! I tip well, so, 70$ breakfast... Damn. We are so screwed.
Bah! I tip well too. I sometimes hate being a heavy tipper. But, if I am going to bother, I'll spend that extra. But, yes. The prices are insane. I refuse to eat out anymore for the majority of the time.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear on the Bosch. Though I am going to have to call in, and make sure this one doesn't require using my "smartphone", and connection to wifi. They are really pushing the bullshit these days.
If not required, we are good. If required, I'll have to find a different make/model. Won't allow wifi connected items in my home.
In trouble, in more ways than just one.
No wifi with mine... tho' 'tis older.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite tips was when we got together for my Grandmother's burial. A dozen or more of us at a bunch of pulled together tables, mix of a gen above and two below me. We had "family" tickets, and I knew the servers who handled the kids would get no tip. For my 20$ bill I gave her a 50$ "keep it" it was in the "bill folder" so she didn't see it. I watched... Her face exploded into radiance as she saw... Then I saw her say "Holy Sheet!" or something similar. She was jittery and showing the other servers, making her day has brought me pleasant memories, occasionally.
It seems like it isn't, mostly, required (the app/wifi connectivity). Not all of the functions are available without it. I'll... live without those. Still? Assholes. I honestly hope they push right off the cliff. We don't need stupid stuff. Apps are notoriously insecure, and wifi access is just adding a spy into the house, another one. Want to bet there is a microphone in it somewhere?
ReplyDeleteOh, laugh. "Smart" televisions, it has become well know, do listen. So does your phone. Even on plane mode, most likely. Your phone has plenty of memory to record everything it hears, and pass it on when available.
Not sure landlines are any more secure, at this point, either. So...
