I went down a bit past 22:00. I slept well. But I woke a bit before 2:00. Yeah, a nap. Couldn't really focus when I woke so a bit of music, perhaps some research in there, and reading what was possible with a few comments thrown in. *Yawn* In one set of comments, I seem to be debating a male feminist. Probably an academic or youngling male who... isn't particularly handy with the ladies, so believes everything his mother told him about the myth of female equality and power. If he ever manages to find a woman, she'll learn him. With the divorce probably. Well, actually, it will take several. Then again, I've met boomers who still had the apron strings pretty tight, obviously cutting off blood to their brains, after some experience. A masculinity deficiency I think, to boot. The other "man" is being cordial enough, so I remain at the debate and relatively reasonable as well. Thankfully, since it isn't his blog, and the blog commander lets these things play out, and offers a bit of humor and tweaks around galore, I don't have to, probably, worry about being booted. Then again, like I give a... *splat* :) I co-author there. I think other authors have left because I dare believe other than what they believe. Which... I dunno... quite up to them. I enjoy debating. Especially with those who can't. Plums! Pluck.
A bit more sleep, I think. I pushed, and now am resting, and sleeping, in stages, as need be. Hopefully I will be back in shape for another round of efforts when the part arrives. I would love to do some laundry now, but... may just have to go with the clean clothes I have and make the dirty laundry pile just a wee steeper. I do have some dress clothes, and it is a fancy joint we are dining at. But I can't overdress, or be rude, as my friend doesn't have fancy. Better day wear, and home wear. Cords work, with a simple shirt, I suppose.
Oh, one of the things I forgot to mention in the post about hobbies, is that another one seems to be of interest. Minor leather working. One of the prepper blogs on my sidebar has a post about how the author made a sheath for his axe. Not only does it look fun, but practical. There are a number of things I would enjoy making with leather. Belts aren't among them, and I'm not sure. Good leather seems rather pricey as well. Not something I would get into tomorrow, just... something for down the road. Axes, pistols, ammunition, other tools, and flourishes to some woodworking projects. Leather hinges, and shelves, can really add to the look and style of something, or can make those corners softer. I love having contact with my world, but a sharp edge can make that love more painful than it needs to be. It offers a whole world of opportunity for tinkering and embellishing handcrafts and tools of all sorts. To the limits of imagination and within the parameters of what leather is useful for, and perhaps a bit beyond with a bit o' craftiness. Usually substance and function is the key, sometimes, if rarely, style will win the day... in my book.
Definitely nap time again. I will set the alarm for noon, though I suspect I will be up well before that. Then again, who knows. Good night, again.
If I go down before midnight, I always wake up ca 2 or 3 in the morning, which I have done the past several nights. I usually get up, let the dog out, read a few minutes and then go back to sleep after I have bribed the dog.
ReplyDeleteLeatherwork is cool. I know a craftsperson who reuses leather from boots, jackets, etc to create pouches, knife sheaths, paddles, etc. I purchased several of her items, but don't have a single one of them because I always give them away.
I don't know if you are interested in hosting you know what? But the position is coming available.. :-). So far no other takers either. A theme could be put up by Monday..
ReplyDeleteDon't feel like you have to though.
Yeah, my sleep cycle can run that way, or just the opposite... sleeping a day and a half... assuming I can get to sleep. Though medicines have finally probably more put me in your camp. You take some similar meds, might be part of it.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I see the position. Don't think I won't, or am not interested. I just want to give it another day. So no one can say... "Oh, look at Doom, butting in where he doesn't belong, again." If no one has claimed the role of host by tomorrow morning...
I would have told you, so you didn't worry, but... I didn't. So... now I am.
The way my arthritis goes I have to wait until a point when the overall pain is at an ebb before I can sleep, so my "cycle" is all over the place.
ReplyDelete(The situation isn't helped much by my upstairs "neighbors" apparently heavily involved in the hobby of teaching gymnastics to elephants.)
Ah-ha! Someone else who knows. Yes, I have big, and little, windows for sleep. That was, obviously, a little window. Usually by the lay of the normal sleep cycle, whether it is in disturbance or on track, to some degree the season, and with a few odd things thrown in, I can often tell if it will be a little or big sleep. Surety lies with the dead, however, and I am only mostly dead! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I do understand. Pain plays a role, even when I can't feel it. Like jumping rope, you best know when to grab a few, or many, winks when you can. Even when I can't feel it, I am often in some sort of pain or other as well. Probably blood flow problems to organs, if it is improving. Which is why I don't sleep nearly as often as before treatment for the heart.
Hmm, elephant gymnastics? Yeah. I have a herd of cats, which when not allowed in but think I have slept too much, or they are hungry, or they want attention, have learned to emulate that notion. How do they thump like that! Still, I can, and do, go out and chase the little meat squirrels (if never to ground), stomping and ogre yelling for a bit to get quiet, which does work. You probably don't have that option.
