I am sort of amazed.

Oh, I slept long and hard.  I woke several times through the day, but never really well and in good ways.  I suspect the girls woke me a time or two, but it was nice and gentle.  Other things woke me from time to time.  I would float to the surface but never quite breach, then gently sink back to oblivion but with a smile.  That was some lush sleep.  I woke, I would guess, about ten or eleven hours after going to bed.  A long sleep, I usually sleep seven to eight hours.  I have tried to control my sleep, but my health precludes that.  If I need twelve hours and don't get it, I can zombifie myself.  Which is fine in the short run with enough stimulus or a director.  No, I sleep what I need, or can.

I know I dreamed.  I couldn't tell you what though.  I tried to hold to a few of them but they would not stay.  Each time I woke enough to try to hold one, though, I had a warm smile on my face and happy or funny thoughts tracing my imagination quotient in some fanciful way, like frost on perfect glass.  There was pain.  I have pushed my body.  I think the sleep and shallow attempts at waking were designed to minimize my pain sensors.  Still just a bit sore this morning, but nowhere near as bad as it could be, or probably was, throughout my sleep.  My body has repaired as well as it could.

I have no idea what I am going to, or even can, do today.  There are a number of things I would like to consider for the water heaters, and general use, before installing.  A platform for the water heaters, would be nice.  As would metal drain plugs.  Nothing fancy, just... a few touches that would be difficult to install later.  I don't know if I will just rest, mostly, today.  I am not sure I have much of a choice.  I could do a few little things, here and there, though, even as a day of rest.

Something that I have noticed though, is that my heart isn't doing the best.  The way I can tell is that scratches do not heal quickly when things aren't working well.  When it takes months for a minor scratch to heal, I know.  Actually that is part of why I used peppermint soap, it helps make sure slow to heal minor wounds do not become infected.  I would use triple antibiotic stuff, and do when I can keep up on it, but... as is obvious from what I just wrote, that isn't always possible.  So using a soap with such properties just... helps keep the system on track and infection free, without having to do extra thinking, more unusual activity, focusing memory to check, and such.  Try it, if you are prone to infections.  But urhm, be gently with the perineal care.  Until you get used to it... Woo!  Woo-hoo-hoo!  Just... saying.  But you do get used to it... mostly.  Woo!

Hmm, on to waking.  Good day. Oh, by dem weg... if I'm not reading blogs enough to please you, understand that I am balancing the world on on shoulder and trying to chug coffee with the pseudo free hand. Reading just isn't terribly possible, mostly, a bit. I go down the line, a few, then drop, picking up later, if I can, where I remember. If I don't visit in a week? Wait longer. My local pal must think I'm ducking him, too. Hmm, best call my mom before she calls out the monster squad on me again. Bleh... Just... give me a sec.
