A few things.

.
.
The dishwasher finished.  Got everything put up and/or away.  Some things didn't have a place, so I created one, if mobile.  A box was found, a small one, for the lid bands on my canning jars.  Most of which are being used for drinking coffee or tea, making kefir, and in time making sauerkraut.  I'd like to experiment with small batches.  Still, I want to keep the bands.  The popper lids not so much.  Those things, from shipping, usually don't work.  I have fresh ones of those, of both the metal and "reusable" plastics.  Those don't have a good reputation.  Still... I... have lids.  So keeping the bands would be good, in a pinch.

As well, I got to the line.  The sheet was dry, not so much the duvet.  Which is fine.  It has pockets of down, so will take a bit.  Hmm, when I finish this I will give the laundry a final spin, see about any dishes left to finish rinsing, see about folding some clothes.  That should be it for a bit.  Then return to gaming.

I am hoping to finish laundry.  Get everything folded.  Finish what dishes are soaking, so I can get a shower in tonight or in the morning.  Vacuum in the master bedroom, at least once with the shop vac.  Perhaps pull the new house vacuum out and hit the area with that.  Then move the racks back in, and hit the other areas.  If that gets done, I'll stop with that, there, for now.  But, soon, hope to hit the living room with the shop vac, then do with the house vac.  Or some such.

And, a final bit of work will be to break down more boxes.  But, too, go deeper in this room.  Clearing, moving a cart that is in here, opening it up.  It's not a perfect run, but I am generally getting well ahead, and keeping it better.  Then taking some time off, but getting back to it before it closes off, again, in any spot, too much.  Making real progress.  And maintaining.  So each round is a real improvement.  This room always looks a little rougher, though, because all boxes that arrive here are put here, with packing, to be broken down, sorted, and such.  Though there is more here that, once removed, will make that much more organized even so.

Yes.  I may be back to it.  I am back on some medicines.  Just took the night medicine, a single carvedilol.  I take the rest in the morning.  Will check my blood pressure when the alarm says to check the duvet, in an hour or so.

Oh... have been thinking about trying crockpot cooking.  More for roasts, chuck.  Though, as well, sorting out what vegetables I can eat.  If, too, I will stay on the thing, since I will be home while it cooks.  I won't let it go to complete mush, and can add vegetables when it is the right time.  Checking the temperature of meat, and texture of vegetables, to pull whatever when it's optimum for that.

I watched a vid, on whether it was a good thing to have, or if the instapot would work just as well.  For some things yes, for some things no, seems to be mostly what I am seeing, hearing.  Fair enough.  Anyway. this woman talked about the items available.  I... liked the features on the crockpot she discussed, and seemed to like the most.  I have some, but probably planer ones?

Anyway, I went and checked my crockpots.  I have a 6, 4, and 2 quart crockpot (the brand).  Unopened, never used.  And a (probably) 6 quart hamilton beach which was out and sitting on one of my shelves.  Dusty thing, can fix that.  Anyway.  But, it turns out, I have the one she seems to like.  I may get the carrier for it, and for the instapot.  Handy to have.

Well, saved me a purchase, if I had thought that was necessary.  The little one might be good for a cheese dip, or such.  Anyway, had to laugh.  The things I have... but never ended up using?  Meh.

Well, on to some folding, dishes, and did reset the laundry to a final spin in the dryer while checking the crockpots.  Then gaming, and... what else I can do.  I closed the downstairs up.  But the fresh air was wonderful.  Heat up, though, it got just a bit chilly.  Still, a great day, so far.  Later.
