Not quite.

I don't think I put it in until 2:00.  Just couldn't do it.  I set the alarm for eight, and struggled with the alarm and waking until a bit after 9:15 in real time.  My alarm is set to go off early.  I think I am going to have to skip shooting tomorrow.  I need the groceries today, so I can boil the potatoes and get those sides at least beginning.  And another event tomorrow, beyond cooking and prepping, will be too much.  I am seriously pushing.  Getting A shoot in there just isn't going to work.

I slept rather well.  I think I woke mid-sleep (your midnight if you sleep normal nights).  Restroom break if it wasn't a dream, though I am siding on real... the cats didn't talk back to me.  :)  Well... not in English.  All good.  For a couple of nights I had to take off my ring in fear of it cutting into my finger.  That problem is slowly fading.  Now I just get very slight moments of bloat.  Yeah, I finally know what women were talking about all those years.  Still, I don't care if I'm having a fat day, unless the ring gets too tight.  I'm not going to wear black, and cry about it.  *chuckles*  "I hate you!"  I know it.

As to the garden... when I can get to it.  Not likely to happen this morning, I won't do it in the hottest part of the day, so that leaves this evening.  However, with it being cool enough this morning inside, I might get to the valves and faucet in the bathroom, and calling about the kitchen faucet.  I guess that is what I have left with it.  If need be, it'll just have to be replaced.  Gah!  It'll be nice, eventually.  I hope.  But before any of that, I have to wake. 

I have risen to the level where more of my routine is back into the mix.  Medicines are regular, brushing is becoming more regular, and water retention is down, sleep cycle is being sorted, jobs are being done, showering was maintained... every other day, every third day in busy spells, food prep was kept to at least a minimum.  I just need to add in neatness here in the cave.  Not bad, really, for a minor down time.  And I kept some things in the air.  Not all the eggs dropped.  Pushing it, though.  This weekend will be for rest.  It has to be.  Other than trying to relocate my schedule back to earlier in the morning, the days will be light.  Perhaps a bit of tinkering and cleaning, but light duty.

Dang good summer.  Sure, I'm not getting out hiking.  But I am doing a lot of other things.  Hiking will eventually be in there, or snow shoeing if that is when I can get to it.  Hopefully though, I'll have some time this summer and fall to get out a bit and get in better shape for that.  I don't want to hit that raw.  Then again, what I am doing is physically demanding, give or take, if not quite of that type.  I'm working it.  What surprises me is that I don't lose any weight, even when not eating regularly and still working.  Oh well.  My body just won't let the fat go, perhaps it can't anymore.  Perhaps what I am doing is simply not enough at this point, or the right stuff.  But I am getting stronger.  Morning blathering...

Later.
