I have an ice machine. Recently acquired. I did use it for a bit. Which worked, but I was having to keep the ice in the machine. The ice melted, and would have to be reformed into ice, again, and again. I decided to order ice buckets, to put the ice in, and then into the freezer.
By the time that arrived, and some scoops, I started having troubles with the r.o. machine. I don't want to use tap water in the machine. So, I... tried to sort that out. My eyes aren't the best. Focus, small details, things. Got the machine half working, but... then it started leaking. Had help getting that fixed. Then?
Then I... got busy with other things. The ice buckets and scoops were set aside, the ice machine was relegated to dust collector, but I did begin using the r.o. system, and keeping three half gallon jars of clean, clear, water on hand, plus the carafe, and usually even keeping the reservoir in the system topped off.
Super! But... ice? I... want, like, would use, ice. For coffee, for tea, for water even sometimes. Well, and vinegar or vinegar and electrolyte tonics. Or even to cool eggs more quickly? Probably not now. I seem to have eggs down to an almost art. The right age, the right level of water, the right heat level on the stove, the right pot and lid. No... I won't mess with some new element. But at a time it was a thought. There... could be other reasons too.
So... to dig in, just a bit? I thought it would be easy. Just clear the freezer, rearrange things, and go. No. Not at all. It took two hours of fussing, sorting, tossing cleaning, and... I am just now with a clean freezer top.
However, I cleared shelving in the kitchen. Not all of it, but... seeing possibilities. I also washed one set of dishes, then another. The second is mostly quart, pint, and half pint jars, for getting back to homemade mayonnaise, trying my hand at ghee, and of course various dressings.
Lots was tossed, in the process. Nearly a garbage bag full, contractor, thirty three gallon type. I moved the cat litter boxes, so I could pull out a cart, with the microwave, and put that back into action. I won't use it for food, especially fatty foods, but good for heating cold coffee or tea, possibly steaming non-fat vegetables. Fat vegetables? Well, I suppose avocado is a fruit. But there are the Rosie O'Donnells of the world? And some others. Oh, would need a much larger microwave! But, as mentioned, I wouldn't microwave a fat vegetable. :p She is Ireland's problem, now. Until the muzzies chase her out. Hope they run slowly? No, I don't hope that. But they sure love them some lesbians. Right?
Quite a little bit of work. Not difficult. I am surprised it didn't grind me into the dirt. I'll take a break. Have some water. But should be able to get back to it before long. Another load of dishes, from here, there, and else. Beginning to put dishes, which have been sitting in my cupboards for long times, without being used... because washing was too difficult to keep up on, into the machine. It is doing well with those. Which means I may be able to stop using paper plates!
Of course, I should pull a dozen packs of meat out of the freezer. See what's good, what isn't. Burger would be nice. I'd like to make taco salad, or soup. What else? Not sure. I have ordered mashed palm hearts... a mashed potato replacement. Would like to make a beef gravy to try with it. And... maybe just burgers.
Oh, and I need to begin in on laundry. Finding, say, a dozen good shirts. Plus all of my slacks that need washed, that can be washed. Though, too, new underwear. I'm slowly replacing the old stuff. If I really need to just begin blindly tossing all of the old t-shirts, shorts, and socks. Anything I don't use, is too small, too worn, or just isn't my style these days. Get that going. Hopefully putting two or even three loads through, tonight, and have them dried and hung, protected, and ready in the covered clothes rack.
And, of course, then reset the things on the freezertop. Set up the r.o. countertop machine there. Get the ice machine washed and set up there. Replace my coffee and tea items and water heater.
I'd also like to get a shower in tonight. And finish the cookie sheets I need to do by hand. The bathroom is for later. But that really needs hit. Not sure how much of that I can get done tonight. But I'll keep at it as I may.
Hungry, sort of. Thirsty too. No more fatted coffee, but a tea would be good. Would be nice to have it iced, but that just probably won't happen tonight. Not by the time I am ready for tea. Tomorrow, or soon.
Still, as mentioned, I am quite pleased with the progress today, even so far. I didn't think I would get to anything today. I didn't think I could. It all started with just a... want for some ice. *grins* If I thought a woman was available, I wonder what I could really do. I guess, if I get somewhere where woman are reasonably available, I... might just find out. Or die trying. Sorry, but American women weren't raised, trained, nor are inclined, to actually be, and remain, wives. Can talk on phones, chat on social media, all sorts of things. Just not what I'm looking for.
When WEF suggested you will own nothing, and be happy with it? I didn't think that meant family. But... I see now, that was the first thing they removed from the table of most people. Church at about the same time. Until churches realize money isn't the bottom line, and begin teaching and guiding, they... aren't going to be relevant. Live, learn, or die. Just like everybody else.
Later.
