Had to laugh, again.

I was just about to fall asleep when a voice asked if I really believed.  In God.  In my... visions, experiences, these events?

A professor, with whom I had once had a minor aquaintance... I am all but certain.  I know her... sense.

Have you ever just...

been drifting.  In sleep, near sleep, in thought.  Then stumbled upon God?  Not... in flesh.  But in truth?  A bit startling.  If you are of faith, it is quite a good thing.  Like, as a child, finding real money.  Even though you turn it in, the luck of the event?  Only, so much more.

Dream?  Vision?  Didn't feel like either.  I revered.  He... nodded, smiled, and was again beyond the veil, or I returned from it.  Tipping my proverbial hat, as well, in spite of being quite stunned.  I'm almost getting comfortable with these... events.

Good sleep.

More, soon.  I woke to put the whitening trays together and in.  Set the alarm.  Then called the dentist.  They will offer four more tubes, with the initial order.  So that is good.  And it is $10 a tube after that, which is fine.  A bit relieved.  I had thought tubes were double that.  And, as fast as I am going through them I was having some concerns.  This I can do.  And, probably, yearly going forward, I will order a four or eight pack of tubes for a retouch.

Mother said good morning.  I made sure she knew I wasn't getting up.  Then asked if she slept more warmly.  And well, yes, she added.  All good.  When she goes, the furnace goes down.  At least while I sleep.  Down a lot, ~63-65, until it gets to the deeper harder freeze.  Then I want a bit more cushion in case electricity goes out.  Which it can, for hours to a day or two?  The longer time a time or three since I moved in.  The shorter losses a few times a year.  No problems, living in mountains, highlands, ag country, rural, desert, with mild to rare catastrophic wind, I think they do fairly well.

Some quiet for a while.

Help arrived.  The ps5 account was sorted.  And I was able to update my phone.  That was sorely needed too.  Then I began installing old games I had thought, potentially, lost.  As well, I was shown how to do a minor mechanical repair.  Then performed the task under supervision.

Since money, again, wasn't requested, a minor gift.  Perhaps he thought it a silly thing.  And, in modern times with far easier methods, it is.  Still, I hope he found some satisfaction with it.  If ever needed, little else will quite do.

Hell of a dream.

It's been a long while since I remember having one anything like it.  It wasn't as bad as it has been, but this one seemed... less intense.  Still a bit tight, but...

I, and several others, were sent out to scout.  We had heard that a small group of a potentially special unit had moved in, or were on the move.  Small unit movement, at least in our sector, were the exception, rare exception.

Quite a day.

.

Stormy out there.  Mostly heavily overcast, if with occasional spots of sunshine.  And cooler, only getting into the mid 50s.  Still, to me, it seemed pleasant.

Some things mother needed.  Money orders for her apartment, getting started on a change of address, some shopping, a doctor appointment, and then business with her apartment manager.  I had to go in and call that last off after nearing three hours.  I was failing.

A cool rainy fall evening.

It only made it into the low to mid sixties, rather than reaching the forecast mid seventies.  The El Nina is making forecasting, beyond the nearly unlikely of normal times, much more unlikely.  One could say that is from the number of storms created in the Pacific Ocean.  But those are a direct result of it.  If... what they say is true.  At this point, I... am forced to be seriously skeptical of anything they suggest.

Not just weathermen, but doctors, lawyers, "scientists", clergy, if newsmen don't even have a place at the table.  Everything they say is most likely a lie of exclusion(s), inclusion(s) (both false to varying degrees), and facial and secondary direction.  Just... honest simple assessments.  Snakes, just of varying degrees of self serving poison.

An... annoying day.

Further, it is far from over.  Okay.  Suffering various realities, privations, exhaustion, and else thoroughly negative is a grace, or can lead to one, several often.  If one can find humility and learn to dance with it as if dancing with a favored woman from better times.

I was up in time for the tech.  But needed a shower.  Just in case he arrived exactly on time, I showed mother the whereabouts and a few details scribbled for his attention.  Thankfully, as he arrived on time, with bells and whistles, metaphorically.
