I did get back to sleep!

A couple of things helped. I took another handful of Tylenol, I cracked the window a bit, and though it took an hour or two, sleep was found. I think the cool air was the key. Which means this trick will not work in the summer. Still, I take what I can get when I can get it. I was not able to wake until noon, despite having the alarm set at 8:00, then resetting it to 10:00, and finally turning it off. So half of my day, and then some, is gone. I feel like a bug which has been hit by nearly fatal amounts of insecticide even after several hours of being awake and doing my wake up routine. It is better today than yesterday so there is more hope for tomorrow.

I am not sure what I will be able to get to today. I have a few things in mind. A few more pain pills might help, or not. I am nearly dragging bottom on the "go get em'" meter. Still, I have my eye on several prizes and am hoping I can figure something out. I know I will in time, I simply do not have a clear fix on when.

I do not know what is going on with the news. It seems as if Fox has been slanting much more strongly to the left. I am simply amazed at what a corrupt leftist administration can do with regards to the media, all of it. It seems more as if the "conservative pundits" are more provably actors (as many of us contend anyway) day by day. Politicians cave right along with them. There truly is not much hope that way. I suppose we could redraw maps, showing D.C. as an uncharted area upon which the words "Thar be Dragons" written across the zone. Well, and land sharks too. Republicans have caved more to political correctness, "conservative" blogs are caving even faster and harder. They have to make sure they support any black candidate that even appears to be somewhat, somehow, or could be, "conservative". They are more multicultural than most "liberal" newsrooms.

Ah, well. Any solid Christian cannot say they have not been told. I think hope is not for the world itself, that it will be good or right or kind. Hope is merely that should we be humble, that we maintain that. Should we be righteous, that we endure the pain of the rejection of that and hold fast. We will be rejected. Righteousness will be rejected. And God, too, by the many, will be rejected. Eventually those that hold fast will be harshly treated and worse. Just remember that when communism comes, those who work hard, are kind, are beautiful in truth, ar good or seek that... those will be sent to gulags so those who live in filth, laziness, pride, lust, and such will not have to be shown the difference. They know, they just choose not to see. I wonder if those who know have their own version of the nuclear clock?

Then again, the Church survived many dark ages. They rekindled the world after many attempts to wipe out history, society, faith, and more. More martyrs, real martyrs who died for real faith (murder bombers do not go to the back of that bus, they aren't allowed on it (for obvious reasons)), were never recorded than in all the annals we have or are aware of having existed. Such a heavy test though. And fewer will pass that test, by far, than will cross over that line. Regardless of what the one sitting next to you in the pew says, whether for himself, his wife, or their children, he will not walk that far. Sadly, he does not understand these new barbarians. As with Pol Pot, these new ones will only achieve the fall from grace and still provide a familial coup de grace.

A few aspirin, planning to try and utilize what I have energy to do, and then... who knows. Have a good day.
