I reset the laundry. There were a lot of underwear, and a few other odds and ends. It's just taking a while. And these are the cottons, so... it takes a bit. I'll yet get the folding table down from upstairs. Hoping to get that load folded and put away, and the last load folded and put away as well. Then... maybe jeans? I was going to do jeans first, but it's all good.
Then I got a dishpan of hot soapy water and, after clearing the north countertops, I cleaned those and the stovetop. I'll probably do that again, tomorrow though. Then I cleared the south part of the eastern countertops, and washed that and the sinks out. Sure... spiffies up pretty well. Still, another run tomorrow. But that is it. The rest of the things are all stored on the north part of the eastern countertops. I'll... have to wash those things, sort some stuff, and... it's too much for me, tonight. But I am getting something going in there.
Then I rinsed the dishes, utensils, pot, and else from dinner and else, and got those into the dishwasher. Not nearly enough for a wash, thus the rinsing.
Earlier I checked on the kefir. It was ready. So I reset it. Not only did I fill the second jar, but I started into a third. So... I... drank some. It's milder. The stuff is sort of still waking up, even if it is blooming well. It'll get there. So good I had a large mug. So good I had two. I'm... going to be careful with "gas" for the next few days. This... like life... will come at you fast, or... out of you. Watch that.
Iron cheeks and run, don't walk, to your nearest facility. Like a duck, if necessary. May well be necessary. The quacking will tend itself. *quack*
Yes, if I can get through the rest of the laundry, folded and up, I'll take a shower. Then cool off and dry before going on to bed. I can watch a show, or two, or parts of some, while folding things. Quite a day for a down day. But tomorrow really will be more of a down day. The only things I might do are any laundry that is foldable, making something to eat, tending Sassy, and... that's about it. Or... that's the plan.
Oh, I wanted to check blood sugar. So set a timer for two hours right after finishing the kefir. A double dose at that. It is 124 exactly two hours later. I may, next time, check an hour in. Though it will only be one dose, and probably not as large as this was. A cup instead of three, and just one. I don't like that it is still high, though. But... I... may have a thing that will fix that if it happens even on lower doses. I've learned, I have. A trick or dozen.
Oh, coffee. That should be ready. I have the brewing all set up, just need the water to be hot enough. I'll turn the water kettle on again, then run up for the table. And, should find a box. For the clothes. Two? One for the unfolded, for out of the dryer. Another for the folded, to more easily get things put away. Ugh. I am getting tired.
Messed up last night had a couple sugary drinks, with a bit of food. 2-3 hrs later I start getting the pre-cramp feeling in my left (healing) leg. Can sugar cause cramping? Thought it was the presence or absence of different minerals and acids building up. Can't really point to any other change in my "diet". Bought a lemonade, man I was thirsty, slammed it down (so sweet I had to rinse with water, after). I guess sugar is a complex molecule that could cause chemistry changes specifically in someone who really avoids it. Think I'll stick with water and risk the nausea.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your "cleaning" as I look around my cluttered man-cave. (Cough).
Fun morning not, Acid waste treatment system for one of the Lab buildings messing up not pumping, filling secondary containment(s) Local alarms only nothing going to the alarm phone. One of two pumps shot, no flow, one of the Yayhoos they hired, turned off and isolated the wrong pump, took me three trips down there to figure it out... should have caught it right away, but I have to start trusting the youngsters to "learn"? This was so obvious... I'm getting old.
Especially if avoiding it, but sugar can cause your body to hold more water. That, in me, if it causes swelling, will cause cramps. Ions, insulin, and kidneys, I think? Or some such. But, not always, though if I cheat, and do the real stuff, I often get cramps. Soda, chocolate, CHOCOLATE I mean, gummy bears... especially if I don't just have one, and I almost never can catch myself at that point... That would be my guess.
ReplyDeleteTagged out the wrong pump? Wow. Just... wow. But, okay. Can't be tip top every day, all the time. I'm good, then I'm not. I can figure a problem without thinking about it ten times, but the fifth, or eleventh, or some time I'll completely choke. It was your turn. Though, I'm not going to blame you, since it wasn't your blunder. You were depending on others to do their jobs correctly. I know, supposed to think around that, but that just doesn't always work.
Oh... you guess didn't pressurize your black water tanks, for dumping... did you? Maybe you did, but not as much as subs? We would tag out the flush valves, so it wouldn't shoot back at whoever opened it... and delay the dump, slow it down. Someone always got a golden pisser and sh*tter award though. Just... half asleep, pull the tag and the lever. If they shut it fast enough, it would only be theirs. :p
Well, glad you had fun doing a man man's job. And sorting it out. You'll have to watch the whippersnapper.
No, we didn't pressurize our "sanitary" tanks, sort of had a pump and grinder to "Dissipate the Effluent", no pressure needed, just flush. THOUGH, brother was a sonar girl, and I served with "floating" submariners, I'm antiquated with the dangers of a messed up flush. Speaking of which I must "P".
ReplyDeleteThis lab has been here since "before" the Manhattan project. Est 1939. We have buildings original to the 30-40's all the way up to the modern crap they're building now. Don't know which I dislike more. One sad stupid funny thing... All electrical heat from here on, no nat gas. Bye bye boilers. These people NEVER did understand boiler operations.
ReplyDeleteAcquainted... from the previous post. spell check -1
Well, the only thing worse than modern, is post modern. Though, which is worse where, and when, is debatable. They need to send every architect of that school back to Russia, Cuba, NorKorea, or some other place where their ideals, idealism, and forms are appreciated. /rant
ReplyDeleteBoilers are excellent. Electrical will work, but cost. What does government care about cost though. It doesn't. Actually, the more it spends, the better it thinks things will be. So... electric it is. But, that won't be in your wheelhouse, anyway. Or will it, still be?
