Up at 4:00.

Give or take, yes. I actually woke at 24:00, then at 2:00, but made it back to sleep. Sassy let me know that it was play time. Chasing her tail a little to close to me reminded me, again, that she has VERY sharp claws. She has, mostly, learned to play nice with me. Wow, sharp all right. As well, I was having a dream. I was driving the X up a switchback old logging road. I hit a place where going forward was going to have to include a drive over a few exposed smaller rounded boulders which, to my mind, might make the already steep climb too much but more included a bit of an trim (side to side) angle on top of all. I drove a bit up. Realized there might be a problem and backed up just a bit, got out and looked at the situation on foot, then got back in and was deciding what to do. Going back was... at least as troubling as going forward. Nearly a single lane, the cliff to my left was nearly sheer and a LONG way down. I was just considering what to do when... *SHARP* made the consideration to be left for another day. I was not sure whether to be grumpy with her or not. Still, who can hate a kitteh? They were meant to do just such things. Even when she pisses me off, I cannot help grinning. I know my own.

I did make it to the appointment. For whatever reason, I thought the thing was at 13:30 or 13:45. The young lady called and asked if I would be in at 12:30, just a bit before. I told her I thought the thing was at that later time. No problem, so we set it up for then. She had a new type of dye, one made for men. My beard and a trim. Hmm, I thought, as she started to... dye my hair. Oh, she said, when I suggested it was just to be the beard. Free, besides she needed to experiment with the dye, so I was a guinea pig. Well, it does look good. I haven't been silver free since I was 17 though, so it is... weird. I will think on it. Oh, she is only 25, if still single and not really dating. Yeah, no. Too young. But I am thinking and taking opportunities as they present. She said this, that, and the other thing about why she would not want to date me. Which does not really matter (trust me). But for me, 25 and her nature... No. Some fish you just have to toss back. She is quite available, somewhat interested, yet not quite ready.

On my way in, I saw my friend. Being plenty early for an appointment I was technically late for, I saw my friend crossing the highway. So I turned around and pulled in near him. Until he saw who I was, he thought I was going to kill him. I honestly wonder what all he has been involved with. I saw it when I first pulled up. He thought he was about to be dead and was rather calm with it. Yeah, I am in my right company, if we came to be similar in very different ways. Anyway, I went along with him while he did some shopping. More reloader ammunition boxes is what he needed and got. I had to go to my appointment, so I simply gave him a ride to his place so he did not have to take the bus and told him I would be back later to goof a bit. Then to the appointment I went. After the appointment, we went to lunch, took a drive to a damn a bit south, got out for a smoke at the dam, and then headed back. I set up an appointment to go shooting this Thursday though.

At home, I was done. I stayed up until 18:00 and then slept until 4:00. It was a lot more sleep, all at once, then I have gotten in weeks, maybe even a month or two. Lord was it good! It is the first dream I can remember having for so very long, too. I hope not to sleep that long as a usual, but I hope I can sleep a little longer than the 4 to 6 hours naps of the last month or two. And deep. Very nice. Today looks like it might be clear, and it might be clear for a while now. So, if I check the weather again today, and that seems to be right, I will begin on the roof. You know, I could have started work on the bench to be used for reloading, but I just did not think of it yesterday. Just the way it goes.

Later.
