A nice easy day.

As easy days go this day was stellar.  I think I needed the rest.  The work yesterday was a stretch after being sedentary for so long.  Yeah, either beating myself up doing too much or just the opposite.  Then again it hasn't been a choice.  The meds put a huge damper on things and winter usually slows me down on top of it.  That I haven't completely crumpled into the dirt, or a warm comfy bed, is actually quite the thing.  I have even nearly swung my days and nights back around with some hope of keeping to days for a while again.  Well, I haven't stumbled harshly so far this winter anyway.  I almost think I will make it on through.

The day lamp, I do think, is helping.  It isn't acting as a guide for sleep as I had hoped or thought.  What it is doing is allowing what passes for my days, the hours of wakefulness, to be more full.  And being awake more fully and for full 'days' helps with sleeping more fully, or the light does that as well somehow.  Actually I think I know how, literally it helps the brain to shut of the manufacture of a particular brain-produced hormone, but that's not the point.  I think the medicines are taking me into a brand new level of health, which might allow for more healing.  And, having healed a bit, I do believe I am at a new level of function.  Basically I am hitting the perfect storm toward health and success, if in tiny increments, so far.

Still, light and easy today.  No choice.  On the good side I am up and it is past 18:00.  I am awaiting dinner and then I will shut down for the night.  Reading hasn't been happening too much.  I am even a bit tired for that.  I will try as I relax in prep for bed but it might just not be possible.  I am really enjoying Vox's book.  I have some suspicions of where he can/will go with the question.  There are limits historically.  I still am fascinated to see a question shelved, I would guess, over a century ago, come back.  Not all will be pleased with that turn of events.  I have begun the Summa Theologica as well, on that track I linked the other day, starting with question 75.  The one thing is, I am not quite sure about looking things up when referenced.  First I have to figure out the reference system.  Then I need to sort technique out, to include whether to read the reference right when referenced, to read the current passages first then read the reference, and possibly reread the initial passage.  The thing is there are sometimes, perhaps often, several to many references.  My mind can only take in so much at once?  And, for the absolute moment, I am not up to... doing more than a precursory straight read, albeit in an advised starter area.  We will see.

Ah well.  Have a good night, sleep well, and God be with you.
