Sleep cycle is just off.

.

Not much to do about it, but wiggle and see where I can adjust.  That and suffer.  I am good at suffering, at least minor indignities as such and physical pain.  So...  I'll keep trying to adjust as I can.  The bad thing is, when sleep is off, and the schedule is moving, I never quite feel rested.  I will simply keep pushing.  Oh, hello Rex.  I hope things are going well for you. 

I am hoping this is the last little hill I have to hump, and that spring, then summer, will bring about a bit of a relief.  But I know spring and into summer will bring just a bit more irregularity.  Sleep will simply become difficult to come by, and possibly cause insomnia.  I'm used to that now, so just grump about it a bit.  Hmm, a cup or two of beer can help there, though, too.

I am not sure when they will test my heart again.  They usually do that yearly.  I was off medicines, or at least struggling to get back on them, at the time of year they seem to prefer to test, so it probably won't be until next year.  After the first couple of years of medicine, my refraction ejection went from 15% to 21%.  I am hoping that isn't the end of it.  A healthy measure is between 50-55% and 70-75% (depending on which doc you are asking).  If I hit 25-30% I will have some hopes.  If the improvement is less... well... medicines are probably at an end, as to improvements.  If I am hitting 35-40% I might have a chance to improve to, or nearly to, full health.  I still can't believe I was running 15% for 23 years before they even caught it.  As I said, I have some doubts about... their intentions.  I probably won't know much more until this fall.

I probably need to start getting geared up for the regional burn in Arizona.  I will be taking a lot less gear.  I might even skip the cot, as that forces me to keep a portion of my tent unzipped.  The cot is fine for my size, just a bit big for even my four man tent.  Food is easy enough.  I could run on MRE's, if I wanted.  You really don't eat much out there.  Not nearly as much as I had thought.  It will be cooler, so appetite might be a bit more realized though.  Hmm, tent, pad, bag, a fifth of the clothes I took last time, water, food, some fun stuff, and a bit for gifting.  Really, it's not as intense as BMan, and with Desert Cat being a neighbor, and with a wheeled home...  Things should be a wee easier.  Bike?  I really ought to do some research on this encampment.  If I can get to it, getting out and testing my equipment would help make sure I have what I want and need, get me used to some things, and... just get me breathing again.  It's a bit chill, still, with the equipment I have.  But that might change.  It sure feels like spring is here.

Off to... something or other.  Hopefully good night.
