Very strange. Well, upstairs it was 52. I was... fine,
comfortable. I did use the water bottle. Just one, at two liters,
is a little small. I'll admit that. I will see if I can find
something about double that size. Having size 15 feet doesn't help, and
that is where I use it. Still, it was... better than nothing.
My feet had gotten cold. Not from going outside. From wearing no
socks the rest of the day, and sitting in this front room. Blocks o'
ice. So, yeah, that wasn't good. I kept hoping to get a shower in,
but it never got finished. Bleh. So I froze my feet waiting on a
plan that never took place.
I did get the laundry restarted. I'll get it to the dryer shortly.
Then get a shower too. Having coffee as I write.
Oh, but the warmth? An... odd thing. The main and back of the
house is at 65/66, with the furnace set at 66. But this front room,
usually colder than elsewhere, was 69/70 when I first started things.
Very strange, so I checked outdoors, to see if it had become freakishly
warm. At 31, it isn't terribly frosty, and depending on how warm it was
and how fast it changed, that might not even be freezing out there.
It's... right on the edge of maybe. Felt moist, so I'm guessing it is,
and just, lowered to that temp.
It did snow, though at any given time, depending on temp, it has rained or
snowed. I nearly slipped on iced over puddles while taking the trash and
recycling out last night... morning... whatever. :p Currently,
there is an half inch to two inch layer of snow on the vehicle, not so much on
the ground.
So... why so warm up front? I checked the computer, and router, to see
if they had been being used while I was asleep. Tricks of the the
trade. But, no. They weren't warm, at all. Room temp,
really. So... why so warm? Dunno, but I'm fine with it.
Socks on first thing, two pair. A liner and woolens, really is
better. Sure, I'll take a shower. But until I do I am going to try
to keep the tootsies warm. Though, these have been warn a day, or
two? I'll wash them when I shower. I have clean ones from my last
shower. I just wash them when showering, and hang them in there to
dry. It works. Though... I'd like to see about foot forms, to...
keep them from shrinking. I think I'll wash them in cooler water, after
I finish, from now on. Heat really causes some things to shrink, a
lot. Even so, foot forms would be nice. Though, probably used
after dry? I hate socks too tight, after finding shoes that fit without
pain. No!
A steak, before long. Maybe with salad. Quite nice, really.
A coffee already going down, to start the day. I turned the furnace up,
Sassy... asked. Only to 73, no longer to 75 or 77. I just don't
need heat anymore. I've become somewhat acclimated to winter. For
my part, 66 is fine, now. Especially if I wear socks.
Well... on to living and doing... or... in a bit. Good morning, day.
Responses? Fast? Or coincidences? I... don't believe in
said. Agree? I... don't... care? I'll just put out what I
think was suggested.
Meanings? Who... ever knows. It's not always as it seems, if sometimes it is precisely as intended. I... for my part... enjoyed.
Thanks for the laundry reminder, load of darks.
ReplyDeleteTook the sons out for a haircut, breakfast, and Boot shopping... They'd never got any GOOD workboots because "Mom" has always bought CHEAP shoes.
Barber we've been seeing since they were in gradeschool. He's getting ready to retire to Az. soon, with a generous tip 100$.
Breakfast with tip (sweet old motherly type, waitress) 100$
Red Wings, 4 pair...>1000$...(all the boots were 50-100$ more than the last time I priced them). Pair for each of the boys, 2 for myself, I'm hard on boots, I keep a "stable"of boots to rotate (for dryness and stink control). Washing the old boots' insoles.They had some laser mapping tools for measurement, turns out my left foot is 13 and my right 12.5 wide.
Wait the wash is done? I've taken that long to compose this!!??
(ok they are in the dryer now.)
I've talked a bunch about nothing other than to share. Enjoy.
It took a while to learn to buy good quality. I was, mostly, raised by a woman. And women are cheap... unless they see something they "need". For kids, or even hubby if she can get away with it, she'll spend pennies.
ReplyDeleteI have rotation duty, but not as heavily as once I had. I don't wear them daily, always. When I do, I like changing. Not as needed, since I rarely wear them for even six hours at a time. But I get that.
Boots I get, tip? Then again, when feeding my friend in part for helping, I left a pretty nice tip. Never had to ask for water, or... anything. And... we ate doubles, two breakfasts each. So... I guess I've got no room on that one, if too, I can't grant that large of largess... but do nicely for my income, if she does well. I even tip guys, but not nearly as much. Big boobs won't move me for more, either. Or little. Just... quality and an attempt to look and be pleasant, and good work. Meh.
Oh! Crap. I almost forgot my laundry. Paybacks can be fast! Be well.
Uhm, life is good to share. The stories. Time may be finite, but stories, when you have some time, is much better than watching boob tubes... even with boobs on them? I think so. Mostly. :)
Oh, they'd better get a decade out of these boots, (being they're engineers, rather than craftsmen) Though the youngest is restoring a 67 mustang convertible, his G-pas, and a 30 something Buick he wants to bring to show condition, and show it, to honor his grandfather.
ReplyDeleteTips, if I imagine I can make someone smile by giving 5-20$ more in tip, bring the smiles. I'm doing ok, I'll pass that on. It will only hurt when I can't tip like that anymore.
