An early rise.

At 2:30 I pretty much woke up.  I was able to stay down until 3:30 but sleep wasn't going to happen again.  I know what woke me this time, though.  Heat.  In my, literally, frigid room, I woke roasting.  Taking off my sometimes-sleeping socks and kicking back the blankets did nothing.  I'll bet I, alone, raised the temp in my bedroom 10 degrees or more in that hour, something my furnace (though not hooked to the room) with the door open can't do, even at 76.  I could no longer see my breath, so...  Yeah, I like to sleep cool.  Hush.  It helps with that old saying, keep your friends close, your women closer.  :p

Today?  I don't know, though I am betting on a nap at 11:00!  Dishes, laundry, some work in the kitchen, and maybe some more work on the back room.  I never did get back to painting and such.  And I looked at the ding in the wall out here.  with the hinge door-stopper functioning, and a closer look at the ding, I don't think I will need to do more than fill the ding with drywall mud, smooth that, then paint.  There isn't an actually hole in the wall, as I had at first been sure there was.

Over the weekend I am really just hoping to tinker my way through to a straightened home.  I am a bit tired, from travel, from swimming, from doing, this week.  And yet I don't want to just stop everything.  That never turns out well.  Hmm, some cooking would be good.  A pot of chili perhaps, to last me a bit.  And maybe a spaghetti and meat sauce for one good single meal... or some such.  I am not even sure of all that, just... something to think about.  On the good side, this coming week, I won't have extra stops beside Mass and swimming and a visit or two with my friend.  No really long days ahead, mostly.

Oh, a conversation I (easily, wasn't eavesdropping) overheard today in the locker-room made me... wonder.  Something about SEALs, and benching 600 and swimming 3 miles.  Had they overheard my boast and were mocking me?  I hadn't seen these guys in there when the other discussion happened, but you never know.  Were they just checking my response?  I just quickly did what I was doing and got out of there, avoiding any contact or conversation, even eye contact.  And I tried to stay as nonchalant as possible.  But it did... make me wonder.  Damn my bragging ways.  And, no, I didn't make that claim, at all, still...  I needed some fresh air anyway, if mostly for that reason.  Things like that creep me out.  Of course, we know I wasn't.  It's just...

Well, on to waking.  And good morning.
