Dinner was good. I am happily full and my feet no longer feel "cooked" although they still are a bit "flat".

I've changed into my night clothes and am very comfy so I'm going to call it a night and head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
Skywise has left for work.
SunLord walked on the keyboard and I don't know if I'll EVER get facebook back the way I want it and...
My legs ache like I've walked two or three miles -- which I haven't.
We also didn't get a full refill last night so I'm already conserving megabytes.
I AM SICK OF CONSERVING MEGABYTES!

Smiley An installer for our Internet service provider will be out on the morning of the 3rd to upgrade our internet service to 30 gigabytes a month! We won't be able to go "hog wild" but we "should" be able to browse the net without watching usage obsessively. I'll be spending the time between then and now clearing out the basement in case they have to replace the wiring for the dish.

More Smiley We made a quick run into town and found a place (Dollar General) that carries the brand of milk we like. PLUS it is about half the price that we were paying so now we'll be able to get 2 gallons for about what we were paying for one. This is a good thing. Laundry soap is also about $2 a bottle cheaper so there's about $5 saved right there. I'll be doing a little price comparing and we "should" be able to save a few bucks by making a short side trip every week or so. It isn't that far out of our way so "travel time/distance" is no biggie.
We still need to find a reliable source of good meat though.

We ordered an upgrade this morning and now my ISP is giving me attitude about connecting.  Smiley
It now back up after about 40 minutes. Now that it's working, I'm going to take some aspirin for my knees, go downstairs and start planning my "attack" for the basement clearing project. I have to start early 'cause a) it's a mess down there and b) I'll be working on it alone.

Well, I got the "short" section cleared. That just leaves the "long" section and general tidying upstairs -- which isn't very "tidy" at the moment...

Yesterday's cleaning has left me achy so I'm gonna get prone for a bit before I start today's excavations. I'm planning on working upstairs today. Less going up and down the basement stairs.

Today's excavations proceed slowly but they proceed. Hopefully, I'll get most of it done today.

I'm gonna have to get prone for a while. I'm in serious pain when I do anything involving standing, walking or bending which puts a serious crimp in my cleaning! I'm hoping to get a little more done after I've rested. Not as much as I'd like but at the moment, I'll take what I can get.

I'm just about done excavating for the day. I still have to make dinner and homemade pizza takes a while. I've been resting for the last 30 minutes or so. I was breaking a sweat in an air conditioned house so I thought that a rest was in order. [I'd been hauling stuff downstairs to be put away NEATLY rather than haphazardly.] If I don't get finished with this section tonight, I'll finish tomorrow and start on the last section. I don't plan on being able to do substantial anything on Monday. The guy/guys are supposed to be here between 8 and 11 which will give us just enough time to get out of bed. I hope they arrive around 9. That will give me time to wake up....

Afternoon!
We're back from shopping and banking -- the mortgage MUST be paid!

My package FINALLY arrived -- two days later than it should have!

My knees are being TOTAL bitches today and I'm debating taking painkillers. I really don't want to but I may have to, like it or not given that I really can't take a day off from cleaning today...

Gave up. I took aspirin 30 minutes ago. Gonna be prone until it kicks in and then I'll try to get something done.

The aspirin didn't help much but I managed to get a little done, including finding some documents dating from 1833. They really need to be kept in something other than an old ammo case that won't close. I'll be looking at waterproof/fireproof storage boxes every chance I get until I find one that suits.

Afternoon.
We're back from Saturday errands and as I soon as get caught up, I'm going to settle in with some tea and read Ghostbusters 101 #4 which I got today.

Tired.

Trying to work through pain to get everything done. Hope tomorrow's better as it is the last day I have to clear things out of the way. I'll probably be crippled all next week and a long walk is in store for Tuesday. Skywise insists on parking blocks from where the fireworks show will be and I'll have to walk. Looking forward to the fireworks but not the walk.

Been trying to figure out what I need for the proton packs and it's making my brain hurt....  Smiley

It's early -- for me anyway -- but I'm going to head out. My feet ache, my legs ache and my brain hurts! AND it wouldn't hurt to conserve megabytes -- thank the Gods THAT is almost over!
