An achy morning.

.

I have been airing the house out the last few days, and it has been fantastic. As well, though I have been closing the windows, I have generally been leaving the windows open. Last night, however, I turned on the air conditioning. It was 71 F and would not drop below that. It was simply too hot, this time of year, for me to fall asleep. I woke up a little sore and achy this morning. I think, in my half awake state, I set the temp to 64 instead of 68. I am not sure the cold made me achy though, it is that I slept so very soundly. I did not roll enough, though that itself may have been to avoid to cold, I think it is just that I sleep much deeper in the cold. Still, I woke up at around 7:00. This is the… hrm, 4th or 5th day I woke up at a right proper time and went to bed at a reasonable hour, and all without naps (in spite of a few strong temptations). I am doing nothing to create this, and I am not pulling my hair out to maintain it. It seems to be a natural part of the ebb and flow of my situation, coupled perhaps with the lengthening and warming days. As I said before, I know not precisely wherefrom the wave arrives, I know only that I will ride the thing as far as it will take me, drop off on the beech for a hotdog, and then go seek another wave. Woot!

I checked the credit card. It has cleared. I have looked online for a computer that is suitable, and found one. I plan to look around town and see if I can find a similar model for less. I have 2 places to check. Whatever happens, I will be ordering a new machine today. It is a bit higher end, though not exactly the pinnacle. I am also buying a new printer with it, as I have some doubts about the printer I have. I believe even it has been hacked. It is the only peripheral which, when plugged back in after a complete wipe (or three) would reinfect the machine with whatever warts were plaguing it before the wipes. As well, it is not that much of an additional cost. None of the shops are open until 10:00, so I can probably get started on the bedroom. A bite to eat first, though, seems to help.

I made roast last night. Though it was ok, I overcooked it, to my tastes. It has been a while since I have done a roast, and I overcooked rather than undercooked the thing. I remember, now, the times I use. I did little else yesterday but that meal, a few dishes, and contemplation. I really wanted to keep working, but it is a special day, and yesterday was more special than most Sundays. And I do try to remember the Sabbath and to keep it holy, should I be at all capable of even realizing what day it is. My lady friend seems to have packed my bible and study books. So, I merely contemplated on certain aspects of the special day and the general idea of the Sabbath. This is not difficult, as I visual stories from the bible freely on any given day, when things are slow, I feel the need, or something else leads my thoughts to such activity.

Though I do not claim to understand things, I am a fundamentalist for the most part. Seven days, you ask? Well, what precisely does the bible say? Adam and Eve, two humans only, at the beginning you query? Again, what does the bible have to say? Is it mysterious? Yes. Does some of it seem to defy logic? Yes. But then, who would have thought God would have manifest Himself in flesh to be sacrificed for His creation’s failings? That defies all man’s reason. It so goes against what most men believe that modernists have to reject it outright since it is not self-centered. Such a non-humanist thing is so troublesome, the religion must be stamped out. So much so they even enter the churches and try to do it from the inside. They try to legislate against it, the judges that are seated are seated pretty much only if they are against it, the academics for the most part are only chosen if they reject it, and the world as a whole sees self sacrifice as an aberration, unless it includes killing innocent people in the “sacrifice”. Alright, I may be a bit bitter about the evil that is.

Back to work. I think the room will be completed in a day or two. Or, at least, that is my goal. It is not any one big job, or even three, it is a lot of little things, a bunch of decision making, a large amount of sorting by size shape and type, and many objects. I know not how to pack some things. Clothes, sure, lamps, odd sized tools or other objects, swords… Hrm, no clue. Thank God for women, usually. :p In any case, I can do what I can and try to pare the job down so that I can get help only where I need it. I am guessing a good quantity of stuff will be going away either today or tomorrow. I just cannot believe how much stuff one man can collect. Oh, I should find out if my lady friend would see if one of her seamstress lady friends is still taking odd jobs. The clothes that need repairs that are worth keeping are really worth keeping. Beyond generally fitting well, they are somewhat expensive. The value of the items will easily set off the cost of repair.

Well, I should get to it, or at least have breakfast. Another long day and lots of work are ahead of me. Good day.
