So much for ideas.

Down slightly before ten... or eleven?  Something.  I posted slightly before, but sometimes I slide toward bed, not dropping then and there.  Can't remember which way it went this time.  Up after 19:00 though, between a quarter and thee quarters after.  I am going to have to check the alarm clock.  I swore I read 23:00 and change.  If, too, when waking, I can terribly mistake what I am seeing.

No matter.  Just a bit of shock when I saw the time down here, then checked several other time keeping devices and systems to make sure this one clock wasn't off.

Fed Sass first thing.  Then made coffee.  Forgot to check blood sugar.  After coffee and a few hours, it is at 135.  Must have been at least 150... if it follows that coffee and else lowers it by ten to thirty points.  Meh.

I have a steak in the fridge.  I'll check it.  If it's good, I'll cook it.  Would like to get the charcoal chimney and grill for it going, see how well it works.  Not sure I'm up to that.  But... maybe.  If the steak is good.

A bit of gaming?  It is hoped.  Some cleaning, breaking down boxes maybe?  That too is hoped.  Seeing how fast and easy the kitchen got sorted... gave me ideas.  Again.  I've done stuff.  Can do stuff.  Do do stuff.  But then I drop and... that's it until I can figure out how to stand, or think, or live again.  Or... all of those things.

I'll game first.  It might help me get my brain to wake.  Then start in on some cleaning.  While I did set up the spare cat litter pan, I didn't clear out the old ones.  Doing that, and setting one of them back up so there are two, would be good.  As well as sweeping the area again.  And... getting that out to the trash before pickup.  As well, collecting recycling, and getting that out too.

Then?  Maybe some cleaning in the bathroom.  More... sorting and clearing than actual cleaning.  Or immediately.  If I can get those things, perhaps hitting the bathroom after it is sorted, again again.  Just... covering the rougher spots, and tomorrow.

The goal is to set up, get the area softened, opened, ready.  Then clean.  So that I don't get bogged down, or exhaust myself too much.  Pacing is key, for me anyway.  I know I will hit failure, sooner or later.  But once things are set up, having someone working on things, and then maybe a real cleaner to come in and hit the cleaning part?  So that, when I can't, someone else is.  So it is always being done.  That... is the plan.

After the place is set up, then getting people in, for quotes on new flooring... four rooms with carpeting?  Or so.  The kitchen with... something.  Depends on costs and value addition.  Though, truth be told?  With some improvements, nothing will be added to value.  With others?  Even the best?  Only a portion will be added.  The only things these things might really do is create a slightly more competitive buying environment, and lead to a sale more quickly.  This is, to some degree (compared to a simply emptied house), not a money maker.  Mostly.

The skills I am hoping to gain, the education about what to look for, how to do things, just becoming more aware?  That is probably the higher value thing.  That will make it so that if I have a place, I might be able to do minor improvements.  And have some idea what it takes, how to do simple wiring, possibly installing cabinets or medicine chests... possibly into the wall and wire while at it.

Though, too?  It isn't just about quickening sales, improving value, or learning.  There is something truly good about attempting to improve what I have, so it's a better place for whoever moves in.  I can't change pollution on the grander scale, change that people have been dna compromised or that they seem to like that, or any of the political or bureaucratic or social problems.  All well beyond me.  But, I can attempt to make this house a bit better than even when I got it.

Too bad I couldn't have lived in it while it was improved, for many years.  But I didn't have the equity for much of the time.  And, when they stole my social security disability, to give to probably an illegal, my finances wouldn't allow for it.  I think they ended up taking most vets' ssd?  Or just the conservative ones?  I'd... love to see that reviewed.  And, if so, see every employee involved fired, and their retirement stripped from any and all government employment.  And, deported if they were brought in in the last fifty years.  Home... send them home.  Though use their retirements to refund vets who have been robbed.

Won't happen, but a man can dream.

Later.
