Okay, well, that almost worked.

As I suggested, cutting "work", whatever that may be, should have helped.  And, actually, it did.  It just wasn't enough for today to go forward as planned.  The pork will have to wait, I will not make it to Mass, but I will make swimming and the movies with my friend.  I did sleep well, having been, even if sedentarily actionable, working.  Something about keeping on a task, even without physical exertion, is tiring.  I slept fairly immediately too.  One other issue, I keep missing medicines.  A day and an half was missed in there somehow.  As of yesterday I restarted medicines.  There seems to be no ill effect this time.  As I have suggested, though I am doing better, I am also juggling a lot more eggs.  It is impressive, by my former standards, but eggs are going to drop.  The thing is to recover as quickly as possible.  Which, too, is being performed in a manner that is quite pleasing.

I woke at, say, 9:30.  I could not get going though.  It took a little longer today, in part because I really felt the need for more sleep but pushed waking, all of the hours I have put in this week on various tasks, possibly slight med restart issues, all added onto my normal waking issues.  I'm not, and never will be, a morning man.  Give me noon or give me death?  Well, maybe not quite that bad.  And if I was going to go that way, I would choose 17:00 as my preferred "morning".  It is just that the world doesn't run on my schedule and I am trying to lend to get... involvement.

I did buy something I think I will very much enjoy, the first two seasons of Babylon 5 and one of the made-for-tv shows.  This is something me and my last woman enjoyed immensely.  She surprised me on this one.  I just didn't think she was a sci-fi nut.  And, at first, she wasn't.  But the characters and writing are good enough that, after a time, if you want, you don't even see anything but... people.  The character development is superior.  Then again, she is a Star Wars fan, if I think that was about it.  She started watching just because I was watching, then got hooked.  Hmm...  I am thinking I will try to make her Fire a component of my system, then she can watch these too, and have access to my music and books.  The only thing I want to ensure is that she doesn't have access, even accidentally or incidentally, to my credit.  Teh womenz and teh credit no mixos.  :p  I watched the first one today, while waking.  I couldn't do much else, so... I might watch another.  I can still get to swimming as if I had just gotten out of Mass, so that is good enough, since I can't make Mass today.

Another thing...  As I wake, in the bigger sense, I am beginning to see things a little more clearly.  I have to admit, I have always thought most women were... slow.  I mean, intellectually.  While not quite, mostly, genius myself, I am several steps above average on the bell curve, for whatever that truly means.  I am not bragging to say I am at least 115, though with the heart, exhaustion, other such things, and having good and bad days but mostly bad days, and having been tested up to the 140's, I really don't know.  I might test out when I... heal.  The odd thing is I can easily deal with men of a lower IQ, and women sometimes.  It is just that women often intellectually fumble in our interactions.  I finally figured out, perhaps, part of the problem.  Women can be sexually... distracted.  By me.  No, as I said, I am not a handsome devil.  It is my size, I must presume, or... something else about me.  I actually hadn't considered the former, and I had never really thought the latter was a possibility.  Never mind.  D.C. and Vox have me nearly convinced that looks aren't a major thing for women, within... some tolerances I presume.  Oh, sure, you knew that.  I did not, not until I was further awake, and having more interactions with women in the wild.  When I was younger it simply didn't matter, I wasn't 'there to analyze 'the fish', just look it over, pick a fine specimen, get her wrapped up, and take her home for consumption', since marriage had been given up on, mostly, after a few ftf's.  Yeah, I know, it's just...  sort of novel to me.  Sorry for being so damned attractive, ladies.  :p  At least I don't think of you quite as poorly as before.  I'm seriously serious.  And it does make a huge difference.  Well, fine, some of it might just be the size difference.  Women do, natively, defer.  There is that too, if I am noticing now, dilatations of the eyes in some women, that is how I know.  It's also why a woman will try to hide her eyes sometimes, though that can often just be their native... demure, coy, chaste aspects, when they choose to employ those.  Just... figuring things out, finally. 

I wonder how much else in the world will become more apparent as I wake and interact more?  I'm almost afraid to... look.  I might have to... reevaluate some of my jokes?  Nah.  Well, I could actually improve them though.  Hey!  All is fair in love and war, more so when both are involved, as is the case with women!  *grins*

Ah, just in time.  I ordered some things from Amazon.  Both of the delivery companies were used, and they arrived within minutes of each other, so no worries about packages sitting out all day.  I bought a band workout system, for here at home when I can't make the gym for whatever reason, a couple more swimming goggles, as I lost one, the other leaks a bit and I was down to that one and a really old one that leaked back when, a device that makes taking body measurements easy, and a gas mask with several replacement canisters.  I think they sent the wrong band system, though.  I ordered the 256 (or such) pound system and I am counting just over ~120 pounds of bands.  Gah!  But they do have a phone number to call.  I'll check and make sure I ordered the one I think I did, and if so give them a call.  This will be enough to start out, in any case, for off days.

Well, one more in the series, then a shower, then off to swimming.  Give it your best shot, good luck.
