Still trying to recover, still not recovering. I'm so bloody tired lately.

Going to do some of that tomorrow. It will involve binning some of Kayleigh's stuff while she's not here.

More houseproud shit.  3 boxes and some miscellaneous items in the car for the thrift store, a large trash bag almost full, some things organized/ing together to make use easier and conserve space.  Making mental list of EOQ for items.

EOQ = Economic Order Quantity.  Used in manufacturing to make sure you have the items on hand when you need them for assembly, but don't tie up money and space with too much inventory on hand.  My use:  If I have canned corn twice a week and want to have 2 months supply on hand, I should make sureI have 16 cans in the pantry.  I set a lower limit (maybe 8) and stock up to my max supply of 16 cans.  Timing and amount i buy also depends on sales for me.  (Aside - one of the major car manufacturers used to have deliveries of parts several times a day to keep inventory to the absolute minimum.)

Ditto for clothes:  How many fall/winter outfits and spring/summer outfits do I need in a year?  Have a bit of a fudge factor at the start of the season for unexpected damage/loss to clothes.

Books:  There is NO maximum EOQ for them.

Regarding books-damn right there isn't!

Depending on if I get around to it, I may have a liter or two of 1,4-dioxane (a cyclic diether solvent) to produce if I CBF, so as to avoid opening the brick of sodium metal I have, since its vac-packed in a heat-sealed thick plastic sheath covered in mineral oil, and that sealed package is inside another hermetically sealed package filled with inert gas. It'll have a better shelf life that way than when opened and the remainder (I only need 1-2g, out of a brick almost too large to close my fingers around) then cut perhaps in half, in as few pieces as necessary to fit the remainder of the brick in a jar full of dried, degassed, argon-sparged liquid paraffin or similarly treated (unused) engine oil) with the screw threads wrapped in teflon tape thickly covered in thick, viscous high-vacuum grease.)

So making my own sodium by reducing sodium hydroxide with magnesium dust and igniting it in a closed crucible is preferable, recovering the sodium by grinding the slag in the kitchen blender after filling it with inert gas, and pouring it into dioxane then boiling the dioxane, which separates out the magnesium oxide as dirty looking slag and allows the sodium to coalesce  into molten globules protected by the solvent and its vapors. Basically a Mg/NaOH thermite. Just happens that 1,4-dioxane is both easy to make and seems to be uniquely suited for this application. Just need a still, magnesium dust, sodium hydroxide, preferably some magnesium ribbon, if not then a sparkler firework length for an initiator, a crucible or can, and something to block the top off with once the sparkler/Mg ribbon burns down below the height of the whatever it is used to weight the top down and for the dioxane, the still, heat source (no naked flames), good ventilation, preferably an organic filter mask from a welding store and some concentrated sulfuric acid and ethylene glycol (bog cleaner sulfuric is fine, even dyed stuff, and as is antifreeze, as long as it is undiluted, non pre-mixed stuff and based on ethylene glycol. The dye doesn't come over from it or the sulfuric into the dioxane, which is distilled off as its made, by dripping ethylene glycol into hot concentrated sulfuric acid. Not done it yet but it looks pretty easy.

Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

The above now is not going to happen. Well it is. But it isn't going to happen today. I've clamped up my flask containing my project and it is being left to rest.

And for that matter, aside from an essential last bits of attention to a flask containing some things that have to be stripped for the good of the labware itself, I'll not be at the bench for the remainder of both today and tonight.

This is my gesture of respect, a salute to Wolfish, and of honor to both Wolfy and Pyraxis, in memory of their loss. An extended 'minute's silence', in intent. But carrying the meaning simply not talking would not, from me.

And to this extent, I invite our community to join me in an act of respect of whatever kind each individual feels holds the most gravity of meaning, in memory of Wolfish, and support of Pyraxis.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

End evaluation of family therapy. Glad it will be over after this. Should have pulled the plug four months ago.
Oh well, guess I did learn that.   :tard:

Promised the kids I'd take them thrifting. I can't walk the store, but I can provide taxi service. Then the oldest is doing the grocery shopping for the family. After that it's more packing.
