Checking when the sun rose, the temp was on the thawed side of 32 F. The sun was up for a bit then crashed. I was never able to wake well. I turned the heat up to no good. It's just that time of year. I'm going back to bed, not much I can do about anything right now. Might as well sleep. On the good side, for what it is worth, I have my days back. Well, a large part of them.
I can't even think of anything clever I might have heard someone say once. I can't remember anything clever I might have thought. Nope. All I can do is go on to bed. Good night.

I went looking.
.
.
Curiosity, you know. Kills many a cat. Nine lives, more for some, fewer for others. Always a price. The search? For what an electronics lab would take, cost. Not counting a room, a shop really, on it's own. Not that it is a thing for tomorrow. In a couple of years, if all else comes together... or just a dream, another dream.
I found a video, and did a few price checks. Yeah, I knew that wouldn't happen, not quickly. Not quickly enough. If it takes ten years to get a kit together, you'd... end up running your own tail over. Just don't go there. So I looked around for something... more affordable, in a shorter time span. Here is a video. It is slightly dated but not too bad.
If I was going to do this, some things I wouldn't skimp on. Then again, I have some of these things so I wouldn't be buying from scratch. I wouldn't skimp on the oscilloscope or wave generator. Between now and the start, while reading and doing labs, who knows... I might even end up putting a power supply together. Some of this is pretty useless of anything else, but much of it has a lot of crossover potential. My guess is more of it than not has some potential for other applications, or simple electronic repairs. Though, as I said, this is a lower priority than woodworking, electrical to the garage, and probably less than a multi-platform welder... though... that might be debatable.
One bad thing? I checked my electrical supply? It's 125 amp. Which means, as I see things, I would have to upgrade that panel. On the downside, that puts things way back... along all those lines. On the good side, it might mean that I can get the panel indoors. I just don't like it outside. Though that simply might not be possible. Code, and the structure of my home, may not leave the option of bringing it in open. Gah!
I may, next month, make a few calls so as to collect three or four quotes, from licensed, bonded, electricians who will get the permits, have the inspections, and provide some sort of guarantee of price. A 10% up or down is understandable. Much more up and it can be a bit too much to bite. And 30% to 50% more and it looks a lot like fraud. Though not going with the cheapest or most expensive seems to be better. As much luck as anything? Hmm... right.
I best get to some things. Later.

Oh, right, another book.

Sure, I'm making my way through the fields of poetry, and am digging into gardening tombs, but there is always room for more. What next, you might ask? Electronics. While I didn't make it through engineering, I still had hoped to learn on my own. I just never have seen the time, or found a resource I was sure about, so as to begin again. Well, thanks to this guy, at AvE, on this vid, I found my resource. Yeah... I could have looked. The thing you find is that everybody says their resource is "the best". No... it's gotta surface on it's own... and it just did.
So, I ordered it. I am, next month, going to order the lab manual, so as to produce projects, slowly acquire equipment needed, and begin tinkering. Woodworking, gardening, household, metal working? What next, space travel? Nope, I'm already here. :) Oh... it'll take years to get everything together. But it'll... get there or not. My focus is on other things. But for obtaining knowledge, some practical, and such... I can do this. My first goal, when I receive this, is to memorize the parts that can be memorized, and learn what must be learned at the start. What IS a capacitor, how does it work? Same with many such items. Then there are constants to memorize. I used to know... a hundred constants? Probably, or more. Some are more for engineering, some more for math, some for physics or other fields. Thing is, there is a LOT of crossover if you apply it, or can see it to apply it. Which makes it easier to learn new fields if you first inventory what you know. I just couldn't stay awake to do that, was always playing catch up. On my own time, perhaps, or to some degree.
I might oughta do some math work as I begin in this book. Which is fine. I can do that. I had hoped to anyway.
Just... saying. Play your own way or prepare for a drubbing. Make it yours or not even you are your own. Just... know your limits? Probably. Later.

Awake, if not quite at it.

I wrote a post earlier. I decided not all that was written was important. So... a redo.
The anacin did help. I slept well, for the eight hours rather than longer to avoid pain or shorter due to pain. I still have just a tetch of sun poison going on. It is very manageable though. As soon as the sun rises, I will probably go out and put a bit more water on the asparagus. Not a true soak, as last night... just a quick water. While at it, before it heats up, I'll grab the wheelbarrow, pull the chokeweeds near the blueberryish bushes, then work on that pile of branches.
Between now and then? I would like to hit the dishes, reset them, probably dry the laundry a second shot, and fiddle in the kitchen, clearing, cleaning, sorting, tossing, stowing. If I can get to things. There is a decent chance. Oh, and a bite to eat. Probably beef and beans again, though a couple of eggs on top wouldn't be bad. Not too much, if I am still terribly hungry. Something, down, inside, needs food. Some foods work, some don't.
I would like to dig in a bit more today than yesterday, set up medicines too, take tomorrow off, then hit it hard Monday. With some advances, morale rises, it become easier to really hit it. I have been going through food like a fool, which has meant cooking. I really should buy food in town soon. It's just more complicated when I am trying to cook, clean up from that, and work. I haven't been a good steward of my money, though, and have things on my list. I keep... stumbling. We'll see. That is why I haven't been buying. Hmm... maybe, if I can focus, I might start... during times I wish to work more heavily, figure out how to satisfy my hungers without having to cook. If I can get it down to an inexpensive art, that may... become a more normal part of things. Keto? Well... Life is life. I'm not sure I can afford to choose what I eat. Though intermittent fasting, and some care to right(er) foods, might do well enough? I'll find out.
I did call my mother. It sounds like they just got some sun there, too... for the last few days. Dark and hard, this spring, everywhere. I don't know if she will be gardening this year, they hadn't decided. Though it isn't sounding like it, from the mood sort of side of things. Then again, really, I am not gardening either. I am growing, essentially, perenials... or such. This year. Other than, maybe, a few fruit tress this fall, maybe a very few other things, I am sort of spent out on putting things in the ground this year. Next year? A few raised beds in the back yard, this side of the fence. Perhaps a trim planter as well, for around part of the perimeter. Just tinkering, as much as anything. Well, some of what I have, however, has not been started. It just hasn't seemed warm enough. I still have a goal to put some herbs seed to dirt, perhaps planting in planters, later, as I thin some? More tinkering with green growy things, really... though fresh herb might be nice.
I will add a bit of the other posts. The ghosts are still with me. Some seem to know me, and tease... are friendly, playful. Others are quite unaware that they are not alive. Some aren't aware of anything. Some, too, are cold, vicious, hateful. Those mean to startle me, or unnerve me, and sometimes get it done. Not the majority of times, but... hatred is such a foul thing. Not sure they are all human ghosts. Nephilim decay to spirits. I don't think fallen angels can be here without a human host. When in wild animals, either the animals reject them to death (as in the swine Jesus cast the spirits into) or the spirits themselves dislike it so much they choose to kill the animal host... I'm not clear on that. Anyway... they are still here. It's settled to a dull roar though. I'm not sure if I am nearing the nexus of the veil or if the whole world is. They don't have micrometers, multimeters, or such for these things. Yeah, believe as you wish. Take it as a story and begone. I'll soon enough deny, and would deny in a court of law on the premise of the possibility of error. Deal?
Interesting, how it used to seem. Nothing has changed but everything is different. I... can't win. As much because I can't lose as because it isn't my game? Maybe. And yet? The more things change the more they stay the same. *wink*
Well... on to some breakfast. Then some work, and more. Good day.

I think I baked.
.
.
Can't cool off. The sting of the sun, even just that bit, was a bit much. I'll keep pushing, and get out more often. Even if I burn a bit, I need to get used to it. It'll take a few weeks but I think I can get back used to the sun. It has been down, so often, when I have happened to be out. It seems like a new thing rather than an old friend. I know I could use the vitamin d, too. I'll just keep my sessions to an half hour or so, not that I'll be out in the sun every day. Hmm... though, you know? I should push to go out, sit at the little table I have out there, and read for an hour or two a day... in the shade anyway. It would do the body some good.
I will take anacin before going to bed. I can tell, if I don't, I will toss and turn from the burn. It's more like it got under my skin, and has... turned some things on that won't easily be mollified by simple sleep. The painpills will... adjust that a bit, tune me for sleep, or give me a chance. Otherwise I will not sleep well, and will wake bodily cranky, with a headache. I know this thing.
I'm about to call my mother, then put up the beef and beans, then go on to bed. Good night. Oh, but, you know... sometimes I might get it all wrong. Then I turn around and... Yeah. That's what the wind is saying. Good night indeed.

Yeah, well, and some of it.

Always more, never fast enough, even so the day isn't finished and there is tomorrow.
I think what got me was spraying the weeds. It wasn't even full sun, there seemed to be a minor haze. I wasn't out long. Even so I am guessing I got a sunburn. Not enough of one... well... we'll see if it needs treatment. Aloe vera. I have the store stuff. And, now, I also have the actual plant. Did you know it could get a sunburn? And, while only 72 F, that... to me... for now... is warm. Actually that is hot.
The dishes were set up. The laundry is going. Every time I checked it wasn't ready. I am absolutely certain it should be ready now. I have cleared the dryer, but not yet folded those clothes. I cooked, and ate some of it for lunch, more food. The chicken will be make next, tomorrow most likely.
Bits of this and that, but not as much as I had hoped. The sunburn and heat sort of slowed me down. A bit of a break after the morning and then lunch. I finally got out and watered all. Everything seems to be doing good. I'll have to watch the blueberry type bushes, some sort of choke weed is trying to move in. Actually, I'll get out there, probably tomorrow, and truly clear that stuff out. Then keep up on it from there. The raspberry bushes, save one which seems to have been covered by some plastic, are doing well. I think, think I say, that the weak one might still make it. I'll just have to be more diligent. But it does look like small leaves were coming in from lower on the line, from below the dirt really, but the leaves look like the other bushes, just tiny. We'll see.
The asparagus? I'm not seeing anything. I may have fumbled that, but I won't give up until I see nothing for four to six weeks. I will water them more often. To that end I have unhooked the hose and have it back near that bed. It's the only bed that might need water every few days. I then watered the jerusalem artichokes, horseradish, and the rhubarb. This time I dug down a bit to find the horseradish roots. I did find them. Perhaps I buried them too deep? They all seemed to be send forth, but for how long as they have been in there, I'm not sure. I covered them over, more loosely... a bit with soil, a bit with mulch. The rhubarb plants were all, save one, doing really well. I think cardboard and plastic had gotten plastered down on that one. It also looks salvageable, but time will tell.
The only thing I might do differently is making an effort to water earlier or later, so the sun isn't on things. I had to break through, and get things some water today, now, rather than wait another day. So I just did it. With a hefty wind going, I am hoping that will do. With the hose ready, perhaps I'll be more inclined to just go, do. Though, really, the only thing I really need to water more regularly is the asparagus, at least for now. The rest could do with watering two to three times a week, or less. Actually once or twice a week, depending how they are looking. Asparagus, I would guess, could take two to three waterings a week, on the heavier side... twice a day if I'm not seeing any improvement. Bleh.
I'm back at it, at least for today. I'll... keep at it, I hope. Good afternoon. Later?

A start.
.

With a shower out of the way, dishes set up, a breakfast on the start, laundry ready to go once the water heats back up... yeah... marvy shower, with the dish soap in with the vinegar and salt since the sun seems to be out, I... think some things will be done. No, no, that isn't even all of it, not even the majority. I will do these things within the next two hours... or how about by 11:00. Then a break for lunch, if I won't be eating.
After lunch, to the weeds, and watering outside, then some moving of a pile of branches. Oh, and while some compost goes to the worms, not all can. I can't give them all my tea leaves, for example. And some things just don't work. So that will go out to the pile. Just a pile, so far, haven't quite gotten the system up and running yet. Really, it's just nice to get out. And to see things growing is a simple plus. After that? Perhaps a break and then a run at the kitchen and then main bedroom. I think I can. Even just an hour or two in each and I will be happy. I believe I can.
To town for foods? Maybe. Or I'll see how the meats I thawed do. The ribeye is for breakfast, with a few eggs. The chicken will be a meal, in two parts. It's not that big, and even if it were, half their weight is in bone. Bah! The hamburger? I still have several cans of beans. Only one, maybe, is refried, but regular beans and burger is good too. And that batch would last me... for days. Two pounds of hamburger and four to six cans of beans. Yeah. I... sure like it. I am out of any sort of bread. What I had was a remnant of rye in the freezer. I don't generally keep it on hand. I do have tortillas, but those were... supposed to be for else. Oh well, they will do. I still have onion and cheese, too. No sour cream. Hmm... a minor run to town, just to the grocery store, might be good. Oh, and a new printer. Not worth trying to find which printer ink for which system, in which size. Just toss. I... gave up.

Some have suggested that many folk, perhaps the majority, are truly dim... of mind. That figuring out how to get through a grocery store, let along which portion of the bus is forward, which is aft, might be pushing things. I agreed, to a degree. I think most people have some serious capacity to do many things, if some are so focused their abilities beyond their focus is limited.
No, perhaps people have become too focused... or too distracted... to mind simple things. Is the flood of annoyance from cell phones, the constant noise of automobiles, planes, trains, buzzers, whistles, alarms, and just the sounds of other people... like the buzz in a hive... throwing people off? Is access to, and use of, information gathering and even creativity at such a peak, that on top of earning a living, people simply cannot understand how to do simple things safely?
You know, I don't know. If anything, I am actually suspecting drug use in there at least as much as the other things. What has me wondering? Ah. Avocados. It seems huge swathes of folk are not only slightly hurting themselves, but damaging their hands so terribly that doctors, world-wide if the article is to be believed, are setting up a methodology just for them. WHAT? Oh my dear lord. How do these people get across streets alive? Will toilets have to be made with cages and restraints? Will labels have to be added so toilet paper isn't reused wrongly? Really? REALLY?
You know, I have problems. But... even in my worst... other than grabbing pans out of the oven while hot... if that doesn't damage me... I'm... pretty good. Where have all the bumble bees gone indeed. Although... you know... I almost wonder if there is more too it than even what I suggested. Really, perhaps people and bees and everything is being affected by something... something more than the obvious or known. I doubt it, not even sure bees are really disappearing. Still... I wonder.

Not much done, in a while.

I feel good. No terrible hurts, no aches or pains, not a headache this week. I haven't been too hot or too cold. Though, truth told, I'm not sure I would notice. There is a certain condition that just seems to be outside of these things and more. A disconnection to all, with all, external and even many internal affairs and events. {pic stolen from AoSHQ}
There are times when that is so potent I can't see, remember, feel, or know... or even not know. Accidental transcendentalism, as I have called it. It hasn't been around for a while, or to this depth and length for even longer. And, yet, it isn't all consuming this time. I suspect, with the heart in better condition, I don't just disappear down that particular rabbit hole. I get to stay near the exit... entrance? I can see out, I am in, I can almost pay attention... or really I do, if and when I do. Ever watched a cat, sitting there looking at you, yet really not there? You touch the animal and she jumps? Not always, but sometimes. That is how it is, or can be.
Ghosts are still here. I don't think the girls can see them. I've never seen them look. They can sense them though, in different ways. And they avoid me, even staying out of the room when the activity is heaviest. They don't seem terribly perturbed, mostly. It seems more as if they just don't like whatever is present. Ghosts? Spirits? A mix I would say. It is much off from the heavier times. The activity fell to a... recent midlevel, then became a bit more sporadic, and has become those as a usual. There is always the possibility that health has failed more than it seems, and these are just problems with low oxygen. So I have been checking blood oxygen level, at least with the tools I can afford at home. When I check it, it seems to be in the 95%~97%. That... shouldn't be a problem. Hmm, I'll check when activity is up. Yeah... even for my own things? I am a doubting Thomas. What can I say.
Oh, about kreg pocket jigs? Rather than just like, or not, I decided to do more thinking. As if by chance, I stumbled upon a video that compares various connections. Now, in absolute measures, the pocket jig is less, and far less, powerful of a connection than the others. Is that much strength always needed? No. But when it is, it definitely needs to be considered. There are reasons for the kreg. Namely speed. Now, you can make a jig yourself. One that is just as fast or faster. But it would require some decent shop chops itself, and would probably be limited to one width of wood. Still, just... thinking. I know if I decide to make cabinetry for the shop and kitchen, I will probably go with a kreg. Just the number, the speed, the ease. It is expensive, but comparing buying even cheap store-bought, plus installation (though even without), and the tool covers itself. More so when time is money. Oh, and the woodworker in this vid? He does some crazy stuff. Well, like his force scale. He is a serious wood and mechanics nerd. Yeah, I'm a bit jealous. I just... I might end up trying some of what he does, but... yeah... no way I could do a lot of that.
Oh, I'll... try to figure out how to get out of the transcended state. Meanwhile, the list hasn't changed. Nothing has been done, mostly, and I am still technically functional. I'll... see about things. Later.

Just not moving fast.
.

I thought the sun was up. I am almost sure it was. Then it wasn't. I have eaten, which should help. It isn't seeming to help though. I realized the cave was a bit chill. So I closed windows and turned the furnace up. I thought that might help. Not so much, although I feel better. Whatever. A shower, shortly, then dishes to soak, then laundry in and some folded? I think so.
I have the bug spray ready. I have the vinegar and salt together, I'll wait to add the dish soap for when the sun is actually out and going to be out for a while. Preferably on a warm day. Spring is just dragging on. I am enjoying it, in one sense. Even though I did better that last two summers, mostly, heat still frightens me. I can put my hand in boiling water... if I can't pluck eggs out anymore at least I don't get scalded, I can grab a cast or steel pan from a 350~450 oven and not get burned, but I don't like environmental heat. Even if I am doing better, it's... something about it.
Oh, the series I have been watching is about World War I. Most of it... I studied history well when in my early teens. Which is why I quit being a socialist. If I hadn't read on into history, just going with the rhetoric from school indoctrination by relatively low IQ bot stampers, mother's emotional notions, and the foolishness of the classics and philosophy, I would still be an idiot. But, no, history will teach you, quickly. Especially if you really look at it. Not in an academic, distant, manner... but you see all the lives lost. Funny thing is, you will note how similar socialism, communism, royalty/nobility, and imperialism really are. The only thing that shows some serious difference is capitalism. It has it's flaws, but it's never in one man's hand to send a nation to disastrous warfare, genocide, or other such.
If capitalism was so bad, as many enemies as it has, it would not be supported by so many. The ones who want it gone are the rich who don't wish to compete and every politician they can buy. At this time, most politicians are terribly bought and by the wrong side. Not sure how this will work out. Not sure the election system can fix it, given that so many who vote risk nothing for voting for ruinous actions by the government. Yeah, we are in worse shape than Europe. Some suggest that we are inundated, but not by muslims. I just suggest they look right south of our border and tell me what the difference is, exactly. None.
Well, I should get a shower in. Then a few other things. Later.

Dinner is being prepared. I thawed corned beef a bit back. I wasn't sure it would be good. Surprisingly it was. I wasn't going to fool with it if it wasn't, not an inch. To be truth, if it wasn't good, I would have gone to town. I didn't really want to cook. Some of it will go for sandwiches, some, I hope, will go toward corned beef hash. I'd like to try my hand at it.

Another day.
.
.
A shower, first thing... after I wake. Then setting up dishes to be washed, doing a load of laundry, and then handling some already washed laundry. A break, then to the kitchen. While sorting and clearing, I would also like to begin clearing the back hallway. When I need a break from that, I'll take it then switch to clearing the bedroom. I don't know where I'll get, or if I'll even start. For now, that is the plan.
Dreaming, but not holding onto much. The faces of people I should know. Living, but in the cast of ghosts. My sight isn't always correct with the time outside my sleep, something that took a while to get fully. Sometimes I look back at these times from the future. Though, that might not be it. Sometimes I see from the immortal side of the veil. As such, all are ghosts... just spending their time, which on my side, in a way, even if synced up, is... already gone. Don't worry your little head about it. You will understand in your time, those of you with souls.
Just a wee cranky, of body, this 'morning'. Not enough to even consider painkillers. I figure a bit of setting, then working, will get it going well enough. Even though, without the drywall which was damaged in places, the bathroom eastern floor is a bit wrecked, being both clean, and having that project finally started, pleases me every time I go in. Something about it all, and the potential for more... both there and elsewhere. I even found a tool which might help me map my electrical, then tabs for labeling.
With the back hallway beginning to be cleared, finding the chalk line marker will be happening sooner rather than later. And, yes, I already have the drywall to replace the old. I will need to cut it, paste and tape it, probably put screws here and there, then... oh right... I suspect I will just paint that whole bathroom. Next month I'll see about plastic to cover, and tape, then by July I will be ready to buy paint. If I do both bathrooms in the same color, that wouldn't be bad... I could get enough for both, and aim to have the en suit cleared and ready for painting by then? YES! I think I can. Having targets makes hitting them much easier? :p Well, it DO!

It did not stay lit, the sun either never quite rising forth or going back to hiding rather quickly. I cannot say for sure. I was unable to muster beyond that last plan. Though other things are on my mind. Daydreams of dread deeds, whispers of war and intrigue. Dark things on the horizon. Dark things indeed.
Well, and it seems some one is musically asking or accusing me of being damned. Of the damned, no doubt. Other than saying with certainty that I worship the God of Abraham and Isaac and so on, the Father of the Christ, the Christ, and the Holy Spirit which are one in three, I can say no more. If this makes me heretic or worse, in your eyes, then certainly... go with it. Do as you must. I have a post, prepared earlier, almost ready. Today? A week? A month? Ever? It is. Whether it will be shared, finished and shared, or not... Oddly, it doesn't matter. Naughty children seem to find things behind my blind. I can tell. Not a tech, mostly, but that isn't how I see in the dark. And, yes, I saw.
A bit more tinkering with one of the new toys. It indicates there is work to do, electrically. I am also learning how to solve issues, how to check for possible solutions when faces with a lot of work otherwise, and what to do when it... really must be done... the hard work. Nothing, to a degree, that I didn't know. Just... trying to find other ways when the work is daunting.
The darkness has taken my legs out from under me. Bedtime, again, shortly... very shortly. Oh, but I finished a poem, only a part... and bastardized part... of which I had heard, then read. The name? I knew not, until this reading. It is "America: A Prophecy", I believe... by William Blake. There is much I do not fully understand. What I can say is... I understand some large portion of it... perhaps too large of a portion. But not from having read it before. To be honest, though, it is everywhere. It is in far more than most think. Even so, that is not where I learned these things. Are they sure, the truth? If what I suspect is true... maybe. I will have to study. Certain terms he uses may not be as I suppose them. And... it is old form English.
Oh, but for now, for today, bedtime. Good... day, night, morning? Nah, but good afternoon too. Time isn't relative, but it... sure is. *wink*

Mostly.
Someone added the derivative of earth to the rain raised to e, multiplied that by a fraction of the cosmos, then extrapolated fire and green in order to combine that into a fractal, all that to be divided into zero and still come up with a useful function. (No worries, physics relies on that to be true... or it to be wrong). The notion that was spit out could be true, if it were.

Bits at a time.

Nothing fancy. Some tools have been pooled, dishes have been collected and are ready to be washed. A few of them have... oil? in them? Something. A couple of carafes were so gunky that I am soaking them separately. One of them might have egg whites in it? I just... don't know. It got put out of sight, in something else, under more. The other one I just... anyway. Two out of fifty is not bad. More since they are small items, easy to soak on their own.
A shower, shortly. Then I'll set the main dishes to soak. Then I'll start laundry. I've actually been doing quite a few, if little, small, short, bits of work. I think I will get this list of things going rather quickly too. Further, I believe I will get the house plants in to be watered and given some hot steam to please their vegetal souls, while doing the rest. Then? Then I'll get outside for a bit this morning.
I would like to water everything, spray for bugs, along the outside perimeter, then put the weed spray together to see how well it works. Salt, dish soap, and vinegar. I'll have to find the ratios... or one set of them. I thought it was a gallon of vinegar, an half cup of salt, and a tea- or table- spoon of dish soap? I'd probably go with more dish soap and more salt. I'm thinking more like two cups of salt and an half to whole cup of dish soap. I'll then put that on the weeds growing in the cracks of my driveway.
After that? As I suggested, more in the kitchen, then on the to main bedroom. Perhaps a call to whoever handles disposal, to see about the costs involved with a large metal bin for a month. I won't be ordering that, as I suggested. Not this month. I won't be buying the lawnmower this month either. I can do that next month, but it's... just a bit much right now. Too many things going on. Should be well ready by next month. Well, the mower. Not sure about the larger trash bin. I'll need time to get things ready to go anyway. *shrug*
More and more. I'll keep at it. The bathroom is back in prime shape... at least until I can find the chalk line, or replace it. Not that expensive, I just hate doing that, when I know I have one somewhere. Time is money, and peace of mind, though, so... Of course, what I have left to cut is easy, up and away, and only, at most, an inch of drywall. It will clean back up just fine. So I will probably mop sometime in the next day or two. It would be nice to have the kitchen ready to mop as well, with the bathroom and little 'L' hall between the two ready now.
Sometime this week I would like to clear the back entrance hall, sweep, mop, and sort tools and expendables there as well. I have various oils and varnishes, specialized bug sprays, and various things like that out there which need to be cleared. I don't like putting that stuff in the garage, not where it might freeze. I should go through it, though, and toss what was deemed a failure or what I no longer use, need, or want. Then I can get my tools and bits more suitably sorted out. Work, work, work, and more work. But I am loving it. Later.

Dinner and a series.
.

I actually used all of the first batch of beans and beef. So, yesterday, since I didn't pick up other foods and I still had some hamburger and several cans of beans, I made another, smaller, batch. That, too, is now gone. While my hunger comes and goes now, the main part of it, the starvation edge of the thing, is mended. Now, once or twice every few days, I get a regular hunger. It isn't "for" anything, like bread or beans or potatoes or meat... it is just raw hunger. I need some serious volume. I was neglecting it. Tea won't do.
I looked through something else that arrived in the last packet of orders... a drill set with countersinks. I have wanted a set of these for a long time. There have been times when I wanted them, had to do without. Yes, you can do without. But do you really like to do without? Especially when it really is called for? My problem was deciding which type to get. I ended up ordering two sets. One, this one, with drills attached, then another which are just cutter knobs on the end of bits. I was looking the kind that arrived, the ones with attached bits, and was a bit surprised, and pleased.

I actually used all of the first batch of beans and beef. So, yesterday, since I didn't pick up other foods and I still had some hamburger and several cans of beans, I made another, smaller, batch.

Waking into minor chaos.
.
.
When I first woke, I felt a bit bad, then worse, then really much better, than a few pegs down from that. There was not efforts involved. I wondered if I was still half dreaming, and falling down a slope, hurting when I hit, feeling better when airborne, never quite enough awake to figure out what was happening. Now, more fully awake, I am positive that isn't the case. So... I guess my body was just figuring things out.

I almost forgot.

I finally got to some of the last paperwork (that I knowingly remember). Something about digital secure messaging, which ended up not being too messy. I still had the files I had downloaded, then sent, recently. So I sent them again, in this way. Bleh. I explained that planting and other work had sort of gotten the better of me. Not that they really care, just saying.
It is about time to crash. The tub is ready for a shower when I get out, or a bath then a... no... too much work. Just a short nap, or long, I don't know, then... some other things when I wake. I was hungry, again. Supper was good, but I... made more beans and beef. I ate the last of the bread. I still have more of the mixture left, I'll have to use tortillas from now on. It is fixing the hunger, but probably jacking blood sugar. I'll... figure that out, in time, too. While I am buying cooked meats, I might pick up greens and other veggies, try to kick back to keto... that and if I can eat enough in short periods (actually as I have been... one meal a day... but not keto or even low carb so no go) I might get back into intermittent fasting. First for the days, then for multiple days. I think I can, I think I can, I... I really do.
Nap time. Good morning and day. Hope to see you before noon.

Well, I am getting there.

After a little geo engineering, a bit of practice, and some crawling around, I was able to get the tool in there to both my, and the task's, satisfaction. I was not able to find my chalk line, but that is on the way. When I do I will have a simple task of creating a line and removing, perhaps, an inch off the top. Right, but I got the bulk of it done. I simply need to fine tune the job.
I found a face mask, but it was terrible. It had two elastic bands, one of which broke while initially donning the thing. Then the thing would not truly fit on my nose and over my chin both at the same time. After only a minute or two of fussing with it while trying to work, the other band broke. *cough, cough cough, cough* I simply could not work without something. Hmm... maybe some low-tech? A bandanna? Would IT fit. I bought the biggest ones I could find, and I can't remember if I tried them. Oh, but it would have to be wet, or that dry dust would get through.
Perfect! Mostly. I was just able to tie the very tips of the square. Good enough though. And, wetted, it kept the dust better than the shot mask ever had. Back to it. After cutting what I could, as straight as I could, I did the clean up. Dry dust, parts of drywall, bits of wood and plaster from the old wall behind it. I removed the screws I found, dug down into the basin around the wall, swept and plucked and got it cleaned. Nice.
Then I finally finished that load of dishes. All is dry, most of it is put up. Next, after I rest a bit, a shower. That wore me out more than I thought it would. Stooping, don't you know? Both for the dishes and for cutting the base drywall, and getting the oscillating saw in amongst the pipes and toilet and all. I put a replacement pot of tea on when I finished... just... I keep four in the fridge. I try to keep them full. Rotate. This will be an extra pot of tea, for when I finish the next half gallon jug. I like to be ahead.
Yeah, rest, then paperwork. I don't know after that. I wanted a nap. Maybe after the paperwork? Maybe. Later.
