I can check "Organize Downstairs Pantry" off my list.
Whoever designed this house obviously was NOT a cook and/or was someone who could run to the store every night to pick up what was needed for dinner. The "pantry" in the kitchen is basically a closet and I've done everything possible -- short of busting out a wall -- to make it as efficient as possible. Which... isn't very. So, I've been setting up some pantry storage downstairs so I can keep a reasonable amount of staples on hand so panic runs to the grocery are kept to an absolute minimum. There is still work to do -- I need more shelving -- but I've made a good start.
Now, I'm going to get off my feet for a bit -- painkillers can only do so much -- before I start the next item on my list.

Moonie is pretty sure that she first saw Lord Purrington on April 18th with him inviting himself into the house on the 28th. I'll see what Skywise remembers when he gets home.

Skywise is on his way home and I'm heading out. The biggest item on my list -- organizing the basement pantry -- is done. Or it is until I get more shelves! Anyway, tomorrow's chores "shouldn't" require painkillers for which I'm grateful. My blood is getting too "runny".

Everyone sleep well, be safe, stay calm and STAY HEALTHY!!!  Mask ON 1

Afternoon.
My left hand keeps cramping.
It is putting a definite "cramp" in my activities.
Regardless, I'm gonna get stuff done today. Pain -- of any kind -- or no pain.

Didn't get much done today.
If I didn't have to eat to take my medication, I wouldn't. I have zero appetite but I do have to eat to take the medication and if I don't eat, I get a "hunger headache". Can't win.
So, I will now choke down my dinner so I can take tonight's pill.....

Afternoon.
Chaotic day so far.
Knees hurt like hell and I can't take anything 'cause the blood I drew for last night's glucose test was almost as runny as water.
Not good.
It's thicker today but I'm still going to lay off the painkillers -- which have the side effect of thinning the blood -- for a week at least, if not longer.
At least I don't have to worry about blood clots for a while......

I was transferring the Q & A from my last lesson just now and there was a loud "pop" and the desktop computer shut off. The laptop stayed on but it seems to have lost some charge. I shut down the transfer and I'm letting the laptop charge. The desktop seems to be working okay but I'm going to get off for a while.

Finished transcribing the lesson Q & A to text. It needs, as usual, a TON of editing but at least I have text to work with. I intended to do another group of Q & A but I'm tried and today's disruption put me behind so.. tomorrow, hopefully.

Lord Purrington, the Nightstalker just came in the back door. I saw him as I was coming upstairs and he was there, meowing to be let in. I opened the door and told him he needed to be louder to be heard. The Prince came up to us then and... they touched noses! This is a big step toward Lord Purrington's acceptance into the feline pecking order.

Afternoon.
I've been catching up before I go offline to do coursework and chores.
One thing to note. On the 8th, I took delivery on a new supplement that is supposed to promote joint health by reducing swelling and inflammation.
It seems to be working.
The swelling around my knees has gone down by a half inch on each knee as of this morning and the pain is definitely less today than yesterday and without painkillers. [Incidentally, my blood was less runny this morning.]
I'm going to keep using it as directed and see if I continue to improve.
I'm cautiously optimistic.

I've spent a good part of the afternoon/evening doing "Talk to Text" on my coursework. I'd have gotten more done but I discovered that I'd put the Q & A for one lesson with another and it took a while to figure that out and get it where it was supposed to be. *sigh*
Oh well, the internet -- Facebook in particular -- is boring as hell and I doubt that I missed anything of importance.

Looks like I forgot to say goodnight last night.
My bad. I must have been tireder than I thought.

Anyway, payday errands are done. Gonna finish up the work I was doing on the coursework last night. Then I'm not sure what items on my To Do list will float to the top.

Found out that the "across the road" neighbors security cameras give them a view of our front yard.  Smiley
Might have to consider some "landscaping options" to block that.....

Finished up last night's work on my coursework. Smiley I really hate the Talk to Text software I'm using but it came with the operating system and I haven't found anything better, so far. I shall have to put a bug in the ear of the appropriate Deity about inspiring someone to create better Talk to Text software for Macs!

Skywise is cutting the grass.
The cats have taken to the woods until he's done.
I'm slowly marking things off my To Do list.

It's all good.

Scouted out an alternate route into town since 252 will be closed at Cramertown Loop sometime this week.
Getting ready to put dinner (chicken) in the crockpot.

I've successfully scanned and reduced some artwork. Now I'll be able to use it to design an embroidered patch I need. Six of them should do it.

Got some things done which required me to carry stuff down the stairs three times. I'm going to hurt -- some now and more later -- but its worth it.

Dinner will be ready shortly and I'm ready to eat, take my meds and kick back for the rest of the night.

I've eaten.
I've taken my metformin.
I am about to be reviled on Facebook over climate change. Smiley
It is a GOOD night!
