The mini-split system is working fine this winter. The one is sometimes noisy but works, and being up to my ass in other alligators right now, service will have to wait for another time, perhaps when it quits working. I did jot down the name of an efficient-looking HVAC service truck in town, so maybe I'll be ready. In a smallish town so many of these guys don't have 'offices' to call, and I don't want to end up with the one who doesn't quite know what he's doing.

Wasted multiple days this week on 2 tech problems. One got solved at last, and the other one just can't be resolved right now.

It's a lot easier to keep chores and to-do lists under control when your prime objective for the day doesn't involve going down ratholes for hours at the keyboard.

Made some real homemade baked goods, and my stomach and mind are happier and less prone to overdo. I think I've been hurting myself by leaning on purchased cookies etc., they are probably right about all the additives being bad for us. I pretty much gave up baking when we decide to cut back on carbs, but it's time to compromise and bake here and there when it is helpful.
