Late to bed, late to rise. I think it's a rule.

.

At least for some.  For those with the allowance.  For others it's called a headache, bad day, rough day, as they still have to get up and go.  I have empathy, for what it is worth.  I remember, when young and healthy, shooting myself in the foot by burning the candle at both ends, and often.  Whether chasing human felines, or reading some book I just "had to finish", or tinkering on some project or kit and losing track, or just as often, working longer and harder than the next guy, trying to get it right... for my ego and want, for advancement, for... whatever.  Push.  Lots of it.  I still have the push, just no means of implementing it.


I realize I go in circles.  Do not think I am perfectly lost, or confuse the matter.  Here, or there, where I am, there I am.  At one time I was perfectly lost.  Realizing that I tend to wander, however, and with some gifted graces and words of wisdom, I came to find... a central point.  However, knowing myself well, as I did, and after some long wanderings off before realizing that central place truly was special, I placed a stake in 'the right place(tm), and tethered myself to that stake.  I cannot change that I wander.  I cannot develop the focus that would allow enough awareness to stay on track and in a limited area.  I am a nomad.  But I can put external limits on my travel.  The tether, markers on the landscape, little hints even a blind man can notice.  And so I have.  Yes, yes, circles.  Absolutely.  But there is always home when all else fails or when I can remember, and a way to it.  And there are limits to my travel, and markers that mean things to even me.  Well, and a Shepherd that seems to have taken in even an ogre.  I suppose I have my uses to my Lord.  Well, I don't eat sheep and I tend to not like other monsters, not even other ogres, at the least.  But I think He likes me, too.  :)

No, I didn't get to the faucet.  Might not today.  It has nothing to do with willpower.  It's a simple energy equation.  How much energy available on one side, how much of that is required to focus added to how much is required to do the physical actions on the other side of the equation.  If A <= B + C, let alone A <= B, and or, C, then... nothing happens.  It's just that simple.  I don't like it any more than you like it.  Actually, I like it a lot less.  I have things I want, and need, to do.  And still I sit.  And pout.  But sit nonetheless.  *pout*

Ah, but, I won't pout for long.  I will go on to try and learn something.  My torque socket should be arriving today.  I wanted that for mounting glass on a rifle, and a few other things.  I have a larger one, but it doesn't scale down to the smaller foot/pounds needed for scope rings.  As well, I'll look through the other tools and consumables that arrived.  Cotter pins, of various sorts.  They will fit nicely with my growing supplies of various sorts.  A nail bin, screw nut and washer bin, and some other things are on the list as well.  And a hand drill and a few other odds and ends.  Hmm, and while out yesterday (yesterday? I forget) I picked up an inexpensive set of screwdrivers just for the garage workbench pegboard holders.  Next month though, since I have been a rather good boy and just sticking to preps and home management, I am ordering pickled pigs feet and pickled turkey gizzards.  Teh barbarity!  Innit!  Ogre treats are teh yummah!  :)

Hmm, yeah, well...  I do have to reset my medicine sets, feed the girls, and brush my teeth yet, so... I will get something done.  Oh, and I may refresh the rinse soak the dishes are in.  With a light day, I might just get annoyed enough with those to finish them up today.  And I might toss the last of my laundry back for washing, for whenever I can get to that.  Bleh.

Good day and later.
