Well, I did get the first load of laundry finished, hung and all. The pair of pants in there were folded and put in an airtight bag. I found a next load. Started the other in the dryer, and went ahead and started the new load. Some of it, the synthetics. I'll hit the cottons next, darks. Then whites if I can find a bit more... or the blankets I had been using. Those will go into airtight bags too. A few may be tossed. Not two of them. Synthetic, but... important, to me.
I did scrub on the dishes a bit. But they need to go back in. Which is okay. Well, some of them. Some might well be ready for the dishwasher, giving me one final run of dishes today. Though I want to get a shower in, before putting the dishes needing more work back in for their next soak. Wow... just in dishes, I... did... what, three loads so far? Two for certain. This will be the third or fourth load. Third load of laundry going.
The ice buckets are nearly full. I think this last round will finish them. Having iced water, as I am warm. Hot, really. Even with all the heat off, and it having been off much of the night, save for a bit of a run around ten to midnight? It is 72 up front here, probably 66 in the main. But I am still quite warm. All good. Better warm than cold.
I did get the eggs eaten, finally, a bit ago. I was wrong, though. I have finished that first two dozen. I'll still wait until this coming weekend, but will boil the eggs early. I'm sure they will still work out okay. I can hope. Eggs have been great, now that I can do the right... everything. Timing, the right pot, the right temp, might be messing with it by boiling them a week early. Will... see.
I keep wanting to check blood sugar. But won't. Hoping it stays lower, but extra checking, at this point, isn't helpful. I would like to take a walk. But, the work I am doing is doing the same thing, but tending my home. Which sorely needs it. So, if I can stay busy, in upkeep, I'll do that. Walking is for days I can't work. Can't think my way through, or bull my way, through.
Oh... may bring the ironing board down here. Put it in the clothes rack room. And find the iron. I've decided not to use water, and the steam system, on the iron though. They always fail. A sprayer, with water, will do. I'm pretty sure r.o. water will do, instead of distilled water? Looked it up, seems so. Good, no purchasing gallons of distilled, or making it. R.O. is more expensive, but I already have the system. Adding a distiller would be a serious addition. And I'd need a holding tank? Unless it wasn't whole house. Wouldn't mind doing that, but it wouldn't really add value to the place.
Last I looked, it had gotten up to 28, from 25 the coldest I saw it last night. Cloudy, feels colder than the temp shows. But not terrible.
I would like to get into town, just not sure that is possible. Today. Will see, if I can clear a way to get to a shower. I would like to finish laundry. And get the nearly last of the dishes going, or what I can into the dishwasher and get that started. Oh! I have to wait for the laundry to finish, and don't want to start the dishwasher until after the shower. Always some trick or twist to turn. Later.
Got some supplies in. Leftover thawed burger (less than I remembered, hmmm, maybe "she" has to eat too), red-n-black pepper, couple grinds of generic "green" flavored mix, salt. Pantry find HOT Rotel with Habeneros (I'm the only HOT eater in this house) yup, been there awhile honestly had to wash dust off the lid (good find). Added to the already spiced burger, lit me up, (not looking forward to the exit). Luckily "she" had some sour cream handy to help "cool" it. No sharing this with the pups. (they're not down here anyway, still adjusting to "her" going into the office everyday after a couple years working from home, they're pouting). Nice steady slow burn...
ReplyDeleteQuiet... and I can turn the music up! Weelll... It is my Saturday night. Music or Game? Music playing in the background of the game!!! Sabaton? Sabbath? Glen Miller? Floyd? (actually took my ships into battle to ABBA's greatest hits one time)
Cold food.
Sinking ships to "Fernando", "Dancing Queen" and "Mamma Mia". I even have a couple(?) Swedish ships for them.
ReplyDeleteYes. That sounds good. I often have to dust my cans off. No problem. Even if they are out of date, as long as they were kept in the basement, or even the back room, they usually do just fine.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried rotel? Or maybe, but if so it was hot tomato? Maybe. The nice thing about being the only heater of teh hot, is no one snipes your food (more than once, of some sorts). They learn to sniff it first.
Strange, but I never has an issue with the outfeed system burning. Well, not with my sorts of food. Some chemically heated stuff can do that, but I rarely eat it. Just add straight ghost pepper pieces, or carolina reaper. Plus, sometimes chipotle or and cayenne or and ground fresh black pepper. I like layers of heat. A wall of heat.
Taco salad, today, or tomorrow really. I think I am finished today. Or... my tonight. It'll still be today, very possibly, but the real night of today. :p Still, taco salad, hot, will be my gig for tonight. You know, hot food is said to help with pain tolerance? Not sure if it's true, but... it's nice to think there is some good that comes out of it, besides flavor?
Warring to ABBA? That would be novel. Mostly wasn't into disco, but I sort of liked the ladies. Not the dudes so much. Thankfully it was mostly the chicks at the mics? Do you put music in, or is it available through the game?
Quite a selection of music. I like all of it, mostly. Gen X stuff? Though, not really. Boomer stuff, really. But... it was good. Glen Miller was my dad's stuff, when he was younger. He told me that they (the elders) thought ol' Miller was a bit too fast of music for those young whippersnappers. Gave them all sorts of lude ideas. :p I was listening to AC/DC, so... didn't... go there.
Well, game well. Enjoy the tunes. And may your belches, and else, be gentle on you. Amen.
I have a second tab open playing music(when I do), game sounds and music play together... "Torpedoes to starboard!" "Mamma Mia'" "Flooding Quickly!" "Here I go again" "Damage repaired" "My, my, how can I resist you?" "Enemy ship spotted on the horizon" "Mamma mia, does it show again?" Fire Alarm! We're taking damage!" "My, my, just how much I've missed you?"
ReplyDeleteI also did a gaming session to the Beatles...
AC/DC are my "lads" but I play too aggressive and sloppy when rocking them.
Nothing like a blow for blow to develop understanding. Well, stay dry, and keep powder at the ready? Or... damn the torpedoes (mines) full speed ahead! Or such.
ReplyDeleteYannow, the only time I have encountered "mines " in game is a couple special "Dunkirk" rescue events. Torps I deal with come at you, they don't wait. Would be cool to have mine layers in game to make some "whiners" howl. All part of the fun.
ReplyDeleteThe only time mines are really useful is if there is a chokepoint, Part of the Mediterranean, bays, sheltered ports, and such. So that makes sense with open sea ship battles.
