I hope to sleep well, finally.

While the sun was still up, I looked at the outside temp. It read 64 F? Wow. At first I thought it had to be wrong. So I stood there for a bit. No, it really is cooling quite a bit. Yesterday it got down to 72 inside my home, which actually felt cold (in my skivvies). As soon as I read and believed the temp, I opened everything up and turned on the fans to download as much of that cool as bandwidth allows. I don't mind feeling cold, I relish it. I am hoping, after two wreckages of sleep cycles, that tonight will be the night.

Since I wasn't able to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation today I am going to try and be there for confession tomorrow. I am not sure I will make it, but I need it. I need it for it's two purposes. The first is obvious. The forgiveness of sins. The second is just as important. I need the Eucharist more than I need food, and have for a while now. A very long while. I am going to try and push it through. If I can, then I can go to Mass right afterward and receive the Eucharist. Further, I will do what I can to make it to Church on Sunday. Now that I have broken the ice, woken up, shaken my world... I need to act fast before that window closes again for a while. I feel like I am playing hopscotch with life, only the rules change, my capacity changes, and everything is contrary to itself even while it IS itself. No matter, keep your eye on the ball and swing. Striking out is no shame if too it isn't a win. Sttttt-rike! But which strike is it? I can't aim for a bunt, I have to aim for the bleachers. Last inning, 2 down, with two in play. Uhrm, is that how they say it with baseball? Haven't watched baseball since I was... 13? Yeah, something like that.

Just had some prank doorbell ringing. Whatever. I know it was kids, adults don't move fast enough to escape that quickly. The cats knew where they were, I could have found them if I had wanted. At this point, I am not going to fuss over it. If it continues I will fix it, legally mind you. No little arms or heads will be removed via my method, though a sheriff might be talking to child and parent. As will I. No charges, I wouldn't press them, not here. And I don't even care so long as it doesn't become a daily daily, or even a weekly thing. Hmm, if it comes down to it, I think I could forgo all problems if they work off my bother by pulling some weeds, raking, and such. Yes, yes. I am... generous that way.

Sunday, after church, I will have to rush home and change to take my friend out shooting. The 9 mm rifle and pistol and the .45 he thinks. So be it. I had thought the .357 but I don't have any of that ammunition and he didn't suggest visiting his sister to get some. I have magnum loads for it, he sold me those as they are too hot for him to shoot. As noted, they are too hot for him to shoot! Dinner and a shoot-out. Actually it is far more expensive than dinner and a movie, at least the start up costs of buying a gun and ammunition. How much shooting pays for itself, entertainment wise? No amount can. Perhaps it shouldn't be on the ledger as entertainment. If you ever need a gun and the skill to shoot it accurately no amount of money would be too much. Since you don't have a rewind, recut, it is best to pay and lose than to not pay and lose. Money versus life, or even temporary freedom. A lesson for the government regarding the military too.

Hmm, I best get my shoes polished and check to make sure my good clothes don't smell musty. I am sure my good belts, perhaps a tie or three, are close around as well. I am sure the slacks could use dry cleaning and pressing but there is not time, so cords and a dress shirt, with the Oxfords, and perhaps the bohemian sport coat? Maybe or maybe not the sport coat. It is a heavier wool and that might still be a bit on the hot side. Hmm, but to wear that two days in a row? Well, I do have two different cords, and several dress shirts, with several different ties. Do I remember how to tie a tie? Ugh. I'll... figure it out.

Good night.
