There isn't much I can do one way or the other. I went down at about 18:00 and woke at least once for a bathroom break, which is unusual. I then woke at about 2:00. I thought I would make it back to bed shortly but that simply didn't happen. Exhausted, regardless of how much I do or don't do. Though when I try to do a few things, I can get in more serious trouble, needing a lot more sleep and running even slower when I can be awake. It is simply a rough week. My blood pressure seems to be staying fairly stable in the 120's/80s. I haven't been checking blood sugar, though that seems to have trended down a bit if not where it would be preferred. Weight has been pretty stable as well.
Some days 70 F is good enough, almost too warm. Some days 80 is downright chilly. I have no idea what that is about. Usually I don't change tolerances that fast. Lately it has been almost every day, or every other day, where that flips.
Today? I am going to try to get caught up on the kitchen. Just cleaning the dishes that have been soaking and straightening just a bit. If I can get that done, have a bit of energy left, I may make a grocery run to town. And, if that works, I may actually try to bake those fruit pie pockets. No promises. I am not sure about anything. Zapped, since I woke, all of yesterday, the day before, and for some number of days before that. Simply keeping a day schedule is about all I can do, and I am pressing things to get that done. Still, I am at the point where I would like to try, at least make some goals.
I have been researching some things that would be handy. While an AK is fine, for shorter range shooting, a larger caliber rifle has been on the menu for some time. There are a variety of rifles available, and some number of calibers. My preferred medium sized longer ranged caliber is the .308, or 7.62 x 51. Beside the qualities of the caliber, the plentiful nature of ammunition and potentially parts and rifle configurations, is the notion that I can reload that ammunition. I have been reviewing rifles, and to be honest, the DMPS long range configuration is probably the one that fits cost and function requirements the best. No rifle is perfect, each has their little flaws or drawbacks. But this seems to fit the best. Of course, getting a scope for it would be the next step. And while I can go low on that, to be honest I expect to spend almost as much for a scope as I do for the rifle. Why have a rifle that is good for 600 yards and potentially double that or more, but lack a scope that fully uses that range? Anyway... thought I'd toss that out for ya. And yes, it is a reasonable hunting and target platform.

Dear me, but I think you are tired because you are sick.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am sick I might sleep for 18 hours or more interspersed with brief periods of wakefulness.
I did that a lot last summer.
Wishing you well..
I don't know. Still, let's play with the notion. Assume for a second that you have no access to reliable medical. What, then, do you do?
ReplyDeleteNow, remember, I am exhibiting no other sign, other than exhaustion. Still, I did go through a day or three of severe sneezing and nasal fluid discharge. There isn't much else to treat, so...
If I am tired from being sick I am also sick of being tired. Bookends!
Allergy.
ReplyDeleteHave you changed diet, soap, bought a new piece of furniture, rug, laundry detergent, fabric softener?
Soaps, perfumes, chemicals in furniture, siding, flooring, fabrics, etc. can cause severe allergic reactions. Even tanning processes for hides can do so. Plastics - like new manufacture drums/storage buckets?
Look at anything you changed or brought in new recently. Even new medication. Some people respond badly to drugs derived with the help of horse serum or albumen.
New brand of kitty litter? Or even cat food? Or gun cleaning solvents.
Nothing new. Actually, I haven't been doing anything. I have literally been locked down, and out. I haven't been able to get to town, or out my door, let alone use anything, and nothing new.
ReplyDeleteI may have bats though. If they stir, because of cold, or how the heat affects them, they might stir up dust?
