Yesterday was the first time in years that I’ve been able to do some cleaning without making myself completely sick. I finally decided to try the baking soda + water followed by vinegar + water routine. To get the initial scrubbing done, I used baking soda and water. Then I followed that withthe vinegar and water which also serves to prevent a fine dry white dusting from the baking soda. No sneezing, no damaging the nasal passages, no headache from breathing in chemical fumes, etc. Very nice.
Alas, this now means that I have no excuse for not cleaning more often now instead of relying on Richard to do the cleaning. *pout*
Currently my intentions are to order some gamma lids next month, purchase some buckets, and begin experimenting with hand washing that way. I will probably get some other devices like that to explore. I’m still looking at what steps I want to take for powering small items, but I think I’d like to get something for that next month too. As a means of exploring it.
The alternataive power supply thing is going to be difficult for me. I guess that first I should learn a little about electricity and such so that I can at least grasp ideas from whatever I’m reading. We’ve got two really good books for that. But it’ll take me a month or two before I’m ready to sit down with the books.
First I need to clear out some boxes from my room and the living room so that they aren’t calling out to me so much.
I also will likely be spending next month being a tiny bit more sociable…maybe. I hate being so isolated. And now I think quite a bit of damage has been done due to how long I’ve been isolated. I need to break out of this somehow!!
I also intend to get rid of my socionics notes as I come across them while clearing out the boxes. I’m just not going to do anything major with it, I guess. And there’s no sense in keeping that around as a reminder that I should try to work with it or the forum. Because it just ain’t gonna happen!!
