Only 11:00?

I grumbled and rumbled last night.  No, I wasn't terribly angry.  Just disagreeable about something I don't quite understand.  Being told you don't understand something that you have read several times to make clear is... annoying.  Albeit, I have to admit, I can easily be an half turn out of alignment, or more, at times.  And, if I am out of alignment, it takes a goodly lot of feedback or several examples of trying to do things as I believe them to do and having them fail.  Still, I don't think I'm off kilter, so I'm... confused.  Aye, that would be it.  I think, think I say, think, I refrained from posting deeper in the cup.  Now, I didn't go all that far in, but while still in recovery it doesn't take much.  Basically a couple of double shot, if tall, drinks, and then I tried a few beers.  Beer just didn't taste good, mostly because it is cool.  That's a summer thing, and occasional cold-weather mood thing.

Never mind.  Just a sip.  Coffee, kahlua, rye, and cream, two talls.  I don't like the rye neat, so it's a mixer.  But it is a fine mixer.  Much better than bar brands, by far, as such.  Though I think I can spend much less on just as good of mixers.  It was an experiment.

Skin is still itchy.  I'm not sure if my aloe vera stuff isn't as good or if, simply through time, the itch would have to surface.  There is only minor peeling, and only where my skin was otherwise opened, by a scrape or blemish/hair follicle unfolding.  Yep, just dirt brown.  But... that's fine.  Nose, chin, and hands got the worst of it, from what I can tell.  The hands still look almost as bruised as burned.  The nose has a dry patch on the tip, as with the high point on the chin, that has dried and remains pretty scaly despite my best efforts to hydrate.  Swelling, however, in my hands on on the ear lobes, is gone, finally, mostly, I believe.  I'll... have to be more careful in the future.  But since it didn't kill me, or even interfere with the rest of the week or the return home, or recovery really, I'm not too worried.

Storming, outside, again today.  I am pretty sure, though, that every drop of rain is a good thing.  The last I heard, the dam was at 50%, a little under.  But that was from before I left.  We have had a lot of rain since.  And, I hope it continues for a bit.  It is far better to hike in the overcast, or even rain, for me, starting out.  That reduces heat stresses caused by being out of shape, allows for faster cool downs when I sit, and I have rain gear that is more than sufficient to keep my dry of the environment.  Monday?  I hope so.  That is the target.

I woke this morning, late I assumed.  Very late.  For whatever reason, I was waking all during the morning and afternoon.  I thought it was around 16:00, late into that hour, when I woke.  I must not have been very awake, because all the clocks 'seemed' to confirm this.  It wasn't until I got on the computer, and the real time is sitting right there in the corner, that I realized it was only just at 11:00 when I woke.  Crazy, but good sleep will trick you, and not let you go for a bit.  Still, that is enjoyable since I don't have anything scheduled and didn't set or reset expectations from the seeming poor waking performance.  As is, it was more like a practical joke by my body to my mind.  Fun.

Later.
