A bit cold?

.

.

It's not that cold, by temperature.  When I checked earlier, anyway, it showed to be 31.  It sprinkled through the night, not all of it.  At some point it become too cold to rain?  It didn't switch over to snow, it just stopped with precipitation.  Okay.  Then, as it got just below freezing, it frosted what had been wet.  Nothing fancy, if a bit pretty... at least for such a drab day.

Cream arrived.  Grateful for it.  Some visitors, but I can't really have folk in.  The house is still messy.  But... improving.  There may yet come a day when I can have people in, without any fuss.  Just... not yet.

Coffee, then tea.  Summer sausage with keto crackers after that.  Steak?  In a bit, if... it's good.  I left it, if wrapped, on the counter over a night.  Not... sure.  If it smells too funny, wrong, I'll throw it.  But pull a steak or two out for tomorrow.

Something I have been jonesing for, for some time, will be arriving.  A new 4k 120hz tv.  I have waited, a long time.  As well, an all region dvd and bluray player.  I have bluray I have never seen, and a few dvds and blurays I have never seen as I didn't realize they were from the wrong zones until way too late.  Should be interesting.  Hmm, or did I watch bluray, but on 1080p?  I'm not sure if that works.  Though maybe.  I know the ps5 can play blurays, if probably not out of their zone area?  I ought to look that up... for future reference.

A sound bar, a better one.  Sort of expensive, but... yeah.  I've had the same big screen tv since I moved in, fifteen years ago?  Amazed it lasted.  It will be good for viewing my collections, but also for gaming.  It is bigger (which was cheaper, right across the same mid-upper tier brand and model, than smaller ones?), the sound should be vastly superior, it's 4k with several upgrades even so, if fitting it will prove a bit of a trick.

Will keep the old tv, just put it in another room.  And hookup the standard dvd player to it.  Maybe an old bluray player, if it works with it.  Ugh.  A bit of a mess.  Will have to move the old wall mount for the old tv, and put up the new mount for the new tv, then get those set up.  Yeah.  I'll be here another year or two.  So... yeah.

The only other thing I am trying to arrange is setting up a linux computer, using an old computer I have.  Not sure what went wrong with it.  But ordered a small older style hard drive.  They, brand new, are so CHEAP!  And, if I can get that going, and make it work well, I attempt to turn this one into a linux box too.  Without outside professional requirements, academic foolishness, or else, linux is perfect.  As a fact, if I was to go into business, I would figure out linux.  Can't trust microsoft.  Which, to some greater degree, is probably why so many corpos demand it, and force it on their lessors.  How else are they going to steal from their betters?  Bah.

I received a call, to deliver something.  I... turned it down.  Not... out of pride, or foolishness (I hope).  But... because I am trying to walk.  I asked about this and that potentials.  One was open.  So... yeah.  I'll... walk, today or tomorrow.  Incentive.

I meant to walk there yesterday, but... was absolutely shot after what all went on yesterday.  This place, and that.  Walking here, and there.  Not a complaint, just that it wore me out.  Tuckered me deeply.  I didn't crash early, though maybe a bit late just in order to come down enough to sleep.

I slept well, if just a tiny bit cold.  It's... not upstairs, or the actual temperature.  It's... me.  I'm... when I push, when I have a lot of stress, and such, I can't get or stay warm.  Pretty good for someone living this close to death.  But... it has some hard limits.  I have decades left, and do well.  Just, on the fringe moments, it's a bit more difficult.  Even with the electric blanket, hand warmers, warm socks, layers of clothing, and layers of blankets.

They have suggested exercising, to warm up.  Calisthenics, pushups, whatever?  It... doesn't work.  All I do is get tired and then colder yet.  Trust me, if something works, I'd do it.  Even a hot coffee or tea doesn't really cut it when I am falling into that death like exhaustion.  Still, I do my best.  If I get too cold, where I think health is an issue, I have (on very rare occasions), gone on down, turned up the furnace, showered for a bit, and done other things.  Hot food, more hot libations, heat here, heat there.  Ugh.

Doing better this morning.  If taking it easier too.  Maybe a shower before long?  Oh, and trying to get the drying wrack up?  Maybe.  Not sure if I have the hardware, wood screws or such.  It is sort of heavy, needs to go into studs.  And, probably three or four of them.  I would think at least 3", but more like four or five inch screws?  Or, even up to quarter inch wood bolts really?  Anyway, I'd like to go look that over, decide where I want to put that, and if it doesn't have the hardware, decide what sort of hardware it needs, and get onto sourcing that.

Maybe a shower?  Maybe a steak?  Maybe that rack up?  Who knows.  Maybe other work, chores, such?  Maybe.  Later.
