I slept, she steamed.

I got much of what I wanted done finished yesterday. After sleeping 12 to 14 hours, then waking for a few, and then napping a few more hours and finally feeling rested, I got busy yesterday. I got a haircut and my beard is now trimmed. I could almost pass for a gentleman! I went shopping, picking up most of what I think I will need for my needs and a few wants for some time to come. I then did some house cleaning, if I did not complete that. Then again, do you ever really have your abode as clean as you like it or want it? Well, fine, so I am not even close, so I will not go further with my procrastination speech. I did not, however, make the call. I was tired, again, and thought I would take a nap at about 15:30, only 7 hours after I awoke for the second time.

I thought I would only need a short nap after all that sleep. And, I had my cell phone on the bedstand. The phone ALWAYS wakes me up, often even if it is in the front room. And yet, it did not wake me. I did not wake when my lady friend called to let me know she was arriving. So, she went hungry. I did not wake until 0:30 hours, or so. Even then, I needed more sleep, so after being awake a bit, I went back to bed until 6:30 or so. I think. It is becoming difficult to be sure of anything at the moment.

I guess I will just have to become adjusted to putting up with my infirmity and people are just going to have to understand that my flesh has failed, all but completely in death. I cannot give my word, only that if I am able I will. Well, it really is time for a nap. I have put it off as long as I can stand it, but sleep calls.

Oh, never worry. In spite of these things, I think I will find some small life. A life I enjoy. In a place where I will be less likely to have to worry so much about the neighbors. In a place where mountains, deserts, rivers, and lakes are all near. I will find times to do some things I enjoy. I will find things which challenge me and help me grow. I might even find love. Just because I am down, physically, I will never give up (for long anyway) on the joy I find in this gift called life. I will never claim to understand it all, but I have never found the need. So, if your life is a little down, when you are finished pouting, shouting, crying, or laughing, remember to roll your sleeves back up and start digging in where you can. I will join you, at least, when I wake up. :P

I called my lady friend, and explained today. I only got her answer service, so I do not know just how angry she is. Bother, but she usually gets over things in her time and figures out something exotic (and expensive) to make up for it. *sigh* I would guess it will be a meal ($70 to $100) at her favorite eatery. Or a trip and a couple of meals, at least one being expensive. Meh, it is part and parcel the business of friendship I suppose. Hmm, maybe she will just have me cook a little more? I like that last almost as well as the trips and only slightly less than the fancy dining. ( O.o ) Do not tell her I said that.
