Pretty brutal.

Sleep is absolutely taking over my life.  I can sleep 4 hours here, 10 hours there, 6 next, and only get a few hours of up time.  Oh, I wrestle it.  I push and shove.  I might wrangle another hour, 2, or even 3 hours of uptimes on rare occasions, but I just hit it that much harder.  I don't know if I really sleep any longer one way or the other though.  It has mostly been happening since this storm front came in.  Though with medicine started just a week ago, I am adding that into the equation.  Actually, I think the medicine has been allowing me to account for the sleep, or... be more aware that I am sleeping, able to track times and such a bit better.  Though it very likely is playing a dual role.  Beside allowing me to account for time, it may well be adding to the need for sleep.  Hmm, or more, what the medicine is doing to my body, lowering the bp is most likely the sleep trigger regarding medicine.  Other medicines I have taken in life are directly related to extra sleep.  There is a difference.  Yeah, blathering without scientific proof.  But... I still think that I have it about right.

I need to put together some food that will last a bit.  I have a big pile of hamburger thawed.  I just need to make beans.  A big helping of chili and a side bowl of beans and hamburger would allow for some (if slight) variety, would last me a week or more, and is something I enjoy.  More so with the weather so cool (for as long as that lasts).  It's a matter of staying up long enough to get the cooking done and being able enough to cook it in a timely fashion.  I need to set a pot of beans to soak this time, then cook them probably the next time I am awake.  Youch but this is getting troublesome.  The body hurts a bit when sleep is this demanding.

As for work or play?  I am setting that off until I can definitely stay up more than a few hours at a time.  As is I merely get warmed up and ready to do something before collapsing into a sleep requiring stupor.  So be it, for now.  I may run out of aspirin for my medicinal regimen, but that is a minor concern in the short term.  Lots of things will fail if I don't... pay attention though.  And I may not have a choice.  At least this time I am fully aware that I am falling behind.  Sometimes, often, I just go from doing good to... weeks or months later realizing I just lost a chunk of my life to the fog of time.  Yeah, I prefer this way.  Medicine can certainly be a nearly perfect double edged sword.  No worries, I keep my codpiece handy...  the rest can go hang.  :p

Well, have a good life out there.  I'm enjoying mine, sun or shine, sleep or wakefulness, grumpiness, joy, tears, and the twirl of it all, mostly.  And... it is sort of funny... if you think about it.  *zzz*  Huh?  Never mind.
