To bed late.

.

I kept trying to figure out laundry.  It never happened.  I kept thinking about it, but not seemingly able to do it, so I just... stayed awake.  As if that would solve the problem.  It's a psychic trap I can fall into.  I SHOULD just go to bed as soon as I realize the problem.  But like a starving wild beast which smells meat in a cage, when there is a simple task I should be able to do, but can't, I linger.  Part of the problem is that I didn't believe fluffing would deal with the wrinkles.  You can always toss in a damp towel, and hope, but I have never seen that work.  I think some women do it just... the way children avoid stepping on cracks to avoid breaking their mother's backs... a superstition to deal with things they don't like but can't choose another way.

Never mind.  The thing is that late was the hour of sleep.  Worse, I forgot to set the alarm clock.  No worries.  My body had me covered.  I woke at 8:30, easily.  A bit late, but... considering bedtime, and what I have been doing, and considering all else, I will take it happily.  Blogging, already, and with a plan for the laundry.  I believe I am going to wash the whole lot over again, and then dry it in parts, again.  That will be my morning wake.  Along with gaming.  I am merely grinding at the moment.  I am hoping to grind six to eight levels.  Which means... I best get to it.  Plus I have some items to upgrade.  Ugh.  This game takes a great deal of grinding if you want what you want.  There are better, and worse, places and points in the game to grind.  But... if you want what you want when you want it, and yet to be able to play the game without perpetual death, then you have no choice but to do, rinse, and repeat.  On the good side?  You learn certain enemies extremely well.  Grinding on my first 'toon has made this second playthrough... comparatively... cake.  I have killed most bosses on the first round.  I'm not so sure about the next boss, a pair of them actually, but... maybe.

After laundry is done, I will begin considering a trip to town.  Shopping, and business, and shopping, and business.  Hmm... real life grinding?  Well... yeah.  :)

Later.
