A bit of a rough day.

.
.
Some of the symptoms of the flu remain.  Headache, skeletal stiffness, aches.  No sniffles, fever, or such.  A bit of a headache, very mild.  Just a... thing, not a big one like the other day.  Painpills.  Yes.  It's not a terrible thing, it's just a lot of little things.  

As to gaming?  I have decided to start over.  I still have my other two 'toons.  Can tinker with them, or solve things with them that I have forgotten.  Such.  The main problem with a new 'toon is that it is limited to the old game.  I can't get through to the dlc portion of the game without doing things that sort of breaks the portion of the game I... need to play to get the mask.  So it is sort of limited.  I guess I know that going in.  Oh well.

For now, it gives me something to do.  Until the house becomes the target.  Though, even then, with my physical limits, it will give me something more active to do while I am required to physically rest.  A way to keep the engine idling, but not turning off the system?  Sort of.

Or... that is the plan.

I am hoping to work one or both days, with help.  Then one or two days on my own, a week.  Packing, sorting, tossing.  Getting things ready to be tossed, if first getting what can be recycled, which is free, out.  Then opening up space to set things which actually will have to be hauled away.  Then getting a dumpster here, for a week or two, loading everything, having them pack it out as needed.  Then, take it when that main first load is in.  Perhaps packing other stuff for a second load at some point in the future.  Perhaps pulling carpeting?  Though, will check with quotes on new carpeting.  If pulling doesn't cost much more, let them do it.

Before carpeting, flooring, and other interior potential work, I want the place cleaned, cleared, and painted.  So any work will be quick and easy for a contractor, or store employee crew.  In, done, out.

I'm not sure if I can get electrical work done this late, certainly not central air.  Though possibly a new furnace.  I may also be considering new water heaters, maybe even a tankless in the small en suite.  Depending on how much getting electric run for that might cost.  As well, a small subpanel in the garage?  Would be nice to have 260 and 240 out there, plus a couple of 120s, and a garage opener and lighting line... or two more lines?  Seems a lot, but it really does come in handy.  And there is room for a smallish shop, plus a vehicle.  So... yes, it would be nice.  But would it pay?  That's... part of the consideration.  Would it add value, enough value, to consider.

And, again, cleaning and painting the exterior, the siding, might be good.  Or replacing it.  I'll... take quotes on replacing it.  But if that's too much, or adds too little value, then renting a heavy duty washer, then painting.  I'll probably be purchasing a reasonable interior/exterior painting machine... electric, pneumatic, or other?  Not sure.  So, that won't even be an added cost, other than cleaning.  Still, I'd really like new siding... whether I stay, rent, or sell.  Don't always get what we want though.

Little things, too.  Grouting, around the bathtub.  Only one spot needs help.  Small drywall repairs here and there.  Window and door trim, possibly new or new used doors, screen doors, or such.  Little things.  And a few bigger things.  Some of it done "in house", some of it done through various sourced crews.

Oh, even some brick work on the chimney, and a review of that whole thing.  Possibly some roofing, a few damaged or dented panels replaced?  Lots of possibilities, limits to cost, time, energy.  But... lots of things to consider.  It would be nice to have the house in good shape, no matter what I decide to go with, elsewise.

Of course, that all depends on if a loan of some sort is even possible.  It may well not be.  Then, I just have to sell at what I can get, and walk.  Meh.  We will see.

With painpills down, I'll begin sniffing around at the starter walkthrough again.  Get set up for a reasonable shot at it.  Though, if I do it correctly, I may give the stopping boss another few shots... if I have everything in place possible to beat it, and get to that spot again.

I am learning bits and parts, as I go.  Things I didn't know, or utilize before.  And, as mentioned, I have been impressed with how well things are going along.  Not on the brand new 'toon, but I am... okay with... what I have learned about melee 'toons.  This is better, going better, than the first shot.  There is some possibility that this could end up a lot better than before.  Good enough to get through the stopping boss?  I don't think so.  But, who knows.  But... no.  That boss isn't possible unless that game allows it.  I'm am on the sjw permanent sol list.  So... no.

Later.
