Mostly. The one problem, so far, is that their isn't as much support in these mattresses. Okay... so how to ameliorate that? Perhaps a plywood panel und the mattresses? Okay. But not 3/4", perhaps 1/4"? At most 1/2" plywood, I think. Though even that might be a bit stout, fierce, to sleep on? Not exactly sure. Will find out.
For warmth? I... was expecting to be a bit chilly, needing another blanket, or two. I normally sleep with... five blankets? Plus a top sheet. Sometimes using the electric blanket as just a blanket, sometimes getting heat from there. I had two blankets, the duvet, and a top sheet. And I was fine. I had to kick my legs out, for cool air, fairly often. I am thinking of pulling the wool blanket, seeing if just the cotton blanket, duvet, and top sheet will be enough. But I did sleep... splendidly. I'll admit that. Even being too warm was an easy fix, given how easy it was to cool off. No struggling, because I wasn't buried in the blankets and else. They were just a covering, not a wrap.
I liked that. Now to remember to shower every night. And... change sheets weekly or biweekly. Cases on mattresses and pillows once a month? Bottom cases, top cases will be changed with sheets, mostly weekly. And... airing things out monthly, or more or a little less... weather allowing. Freshly aired is quite good too. I can't say I smelled it, but I sensed it? Nice.
I changed the alarms to five and seven. I fought with it, a bit, at the five mark. But, after two or three snooze bars (or dreaming of said), I gave up and turned it off. Then, woke a quarter to seven, turned it off, and got up. Turning the five alarm back on for tomorrow.
Why try, when I can't seem to do it? Because I am getting.... I am... It is helping. It does, eventually, wake me. Earlier than I would have awaken. A bit miserable, but I get over that. It's... not about me? It's about trying to do more with my life, and being available, at the right times, is a part of that.
Blood sugar is 151. I had pizza yesterday. I... have been so careful with food, for a while. Even mostly fasting... for reasons. So... had a real cheat yesterday. And pb&j crackers too. So... but yeah. Still, that's not bad for a pizza cheat. If it will take a week to get that corrected. Stupid blood sugar.
Sassy was fed. Strangely, she didn't go upstairs last night. Some nights she will, some nights she won't, even given the choice by leaving the door open. I suspect, when she doesn't come up, a mouse is about and she is... 'gone hunting'. She is very patient to catch a mouse. She likes her little furry friends. Only eating the tiniest of mice, not liking the taste, or processes involved, with bigger mice? But she'll kill them all... spending... a half hour, or more, on the poor little fools. And, she'll wait, still as a statue, in the dark, until they think she is gone. She'll go full invisible, will it. I've watched her get into place, then quiet herself and hide in plain sight. It's... an amazing thing. A girl after my own heart. :)
Now for a shower. Then to get dressed. The thermometer read 58 upstairs. Which seems warmer than it should be? Maybe, with the right blankets, not only do I sleep more felt warmly, but that warmth spills out. Yeah, spent some money on blankets, but then I always did. Synthetics aren't necessarily cheaper. But they are definitely inferior at keeping a body warm. I am... a bit amazed. I'll admit that. I'm almost hot, waking.
Steak is thawed, as is a whole chicken. Would like to get one, or both, going, later today. I next need to brush the teeth, shower, then get dressed and ready for the day. Start some laundry? Not... today. I need a break from that. Though I may see what I can begin going on that through the weekend and next week. Begin sorting, storing, hanging, and tossing... things that I won't be keeping, doesn't fit, outdated, worn, torn, or with holes. Hanging and storing what I'll most likely be keeping, though whittling even that down.
But... today and maybe tomorrow, working on the house. Getting the miter saw set up, considering what is needed for a router table, constructing or getting materials to do so for sawhorses and maybe plywood lifting arms. As well, looking at the en suite bathroom, seeing what can be done, what is needed, and maybe starting in there and possibly doing shopping for that... as wood is obtained for the other projects... including panels to work with for the bed.
Ugh. All good, all good. Time to get going. Though... a fatted coffee first thing would be nice. While I will be going every other or every third day with that? I just spent nearly two weeks going mostly without. I... want to enjoy a few, before going with less, again. Later.
Working on letting a steak and sauerkraut dinner get cold.
ReplyDeleteHad a nice brush with professionalism this morning. Big pump and motor job, at one point there were three of us fighting this. Normally I don't see my guys all night. This forced us into close proximity. The space is so noisy IF we needed to talk we'd step outside. But that was the point, we didn't need to talk, a glance, nod or gesture, handing off a tool, shims measured and handed, big prybar employed to move that heavy motor around. A tap here a kick there and boom, after 3 hours, its aligned. It has been over 10 years since I've worked on these pumps... we almost didn't need to say a word. Competent craftsmanship, so much better than mind-numbing rounds and logs.
Yup, the steak is cold, sitting in the sauerkraut juice, is it a pickle?
Men do ballet, but it's with muscle, power and hand tools, grunts, and pointing. A thing of beauty, if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of work in the service, when we had a bigger thing. I never got to that quality, but I began to understand and learning to communicate as they do, and know to be muscle, or tool, or fetch... slowly learning. Approval was always a good thing, especially for a noob.
I... did my part today. Lumbering with a chainsaw, to testing a router, table, and lift, and then a miter saw.
I can't work often. And am more a fifth wheel. But... I... can do some things, and help in some ways.
Yes, work is... good.
A steer pickle, eh? That... doesn't sound good at all. I'm hoping to get some steak myself, shortly. Be well. Heat it up? Or feed the rest to the pups? Later.
