Finally, sleep.

I could not come down enough to crawl into bed until a bit before 2:00. Though I rolled and adjusted pillows, taking some time to ease into sleep, I would guess it was pretty close to 2:00 when all things conscious blinked out. I did dream. What I can remember of it was more like those old movies where everything was sunshine, women wore 1940's type styles including hats for some of them, and pretty women were everywhere, but not modern "pretty women". Pleasant dreams in other words.

I woke this morning but was not quite ready, so back into dreamland. Whether I dreamed more I can't say. A few more hours of sleep and though I really wanted more sleep my lungs were filling again. I crawled out of bed and had to use the facilities right off, if that was not a demanding thing I did notice. I would guess a half a gallon went out. I had decided not to take one of those water pills right off, last night, as I was pretty sure what they gave me in the ER was not done. That was probably a good decision too.

When I first looked at the alarm clock, either one of the numbers was hidden by the angle or I was still half asleep. I thought it said 13:00 and change. Sort of grumpy about having slept that long and that late, I began taking my "morning" routine and putting it into action so as to wake up. I have visitors coming at 15:00, so I had wanted to do dishes, straighten the house, and prepare myself better by waking a bit. Being this late, I would barely be able to simply wake. An half hour into my waking process, I looked at the wall clock. Hmm, 11:00 and change? Not trusting the wall clock completely, I decided to check two other time keepers. Sure enough, just nearing noon. A nine hour sleep is fine considering how little I have been able to sleep.

Now, too, I can possibly get to some of the tidying of my place. A few things here, a couple of things there, and maybe a load of dishes as well. Still stretched from lack of sleep I will have to push a bit. The good thing about weekly company is it gives me a solid non-negotiable time table. The payoff, beside company, is having a neater home. What else I may get to today is a question to be answered later. The goal for today is merely install and adjust the reloader. I need several types of media to clean cartridges, so that might be purchased today as well as doing shopping for other foods. Milk is needed. Then again, shopping may wait until tomorrow so that I may do some other business in town. I simply can't get to town in time today (I think at this point) to do that and I don't want to make two trips if I don't have to do so. Not with gas being an arm and a leg and my energy level being what it is.

So much done though. From the reloader to obtaining climbing gear, to taking care of my medical concerns as I can. I am doing very well, if a bit pinched for it. I am not worried about being tired though, as whether I do anything or not I end up tired and worse. Just being a party to life and the world, feeling that I am doing what is expected of me as little as that is, and then stretching into wants and needs from those wants and then on to simple demands due to the home is all good. I want to be tired everyday, but from doing not just because. I guess I will push as long as I can and see where it takes me.

Have a great day.
