Resting even today.

I took a shower right after posting.  It does a body good.  I thought about trying a shave, with my whiskers having been primed by the shower.  It just seemed like too much work right then and there.  Some days it is.  Today was among them.  I did look around the kitchen on my way out.  No need to sweep, but I am keeping an eye on it.  A clean home and a shower can make a man feel wealthy.  Wealth isn't what many think.  It's not money, it's not even gold or health.  Wealth is the luxury of living in an ordered world.  Those other things can be spent to create wealth, or this form of it.  Yet many sit on a pile of gold, in squalor.  Pigs in a sty, I suggest.  Not always can I be wealthy, but today it is so.  I enjoyed it, and will maintain it as well as I am able.

Today is another day of rest.  It is simply needed.  Or more, it isn't much of a choice.  Rest, and a day for it, as I have mentioned, is a gift.  What wears me out is, perhaps, not what will wear you out.  To some degree, perspective plays a part.  So be it.  I have worn myself well and truly these last few weeks.  Further, I am hoping to dig in again this coming week.  I would like to finish a few spots here in the house, then the garage, and get out shooting, hopefully twice this coming week.  Winter may well settle in before long.  Might as well take this good warm weather and use it while I can.  Then again, I am looking forward to snow as well.  Snowshoeing is on the menu.  Hmm, I should get my gear and proper attire sorted.  This time I am not going to fuss.  If I have it, it is ready enough, and the show is there... once I get the snow removed from the drive, it will be time for some backyard practice.  Once I am satisfied with that, I will begin getting out.  I suppose I should investigate trails, or common places, now.  You have to be a bit aware before going.  Some areas are avalanche prone.  Best to know the area, and research up-to-date conditions.

I may call my friend, actually, right after this post, and see whether tomorrow or the day after might be a good time to get out.  I need to do some minor shopping as well.  Milk and cream, though a few items for various dishes would be nice.  Quiche and a few other egg dishes are on my mind.  Cheese, maybe a few vegetables if they look good, spices and herbs, and such.  He may need to do some minor shopping too.  And we can always stop in to the local sporting good stores, just to... look and perhaps buy a few items of need or want.  Hmm... I may set up my Chrony tonight, as well, and take that with.  I'll also want to review the instructions, or more YouTube guides.  Whatever happened to clear, concise, instructions.  No, I haven't looked, though I have heard the instruction booklet is more pain than insightful.

I may yet tonight begin honing another blade.  It would be good to have two razors ready, save for stropping.  At this point, until the rest of the sharpening gear arrives, none of my blades are truly ready.  Close enough, one of them, for a rather rough shave.  It just needs a bit more honing than what I have on hand will do.  Yes, I am a noob.  But not the kind one my presuppose.  I know much that I couldn't, shouldn't, and technically don't, know.  I just... don't know it until I do.  I know these blades need more work.  Skill at shaving, which is one thing I lack, will allow for more tolerance with a blade.  As I said, that is one thing I lack.  I may even see if a local barber would sharpen one of my other blades, so I have a professional comparison.  Three blades at the ready would be even better.  As well, I may see if he offers any face sweetwater, for after shave.  Rosewater, lemon or lime, and a few others come to mind.  Though sniffing through the options can be fun, and lead to a surprise or three.  If I am going to bother to shave this way I might as well flaunt it a bit, nyet?

Oh, right, on to... a bit more resting.  I think I am going to be back into days, after this rest.  The brief slight twist of my day schedule was simply sheer exhaustion.  As I said, I could have awaken at 7:00 or so this morning.  It was merely that sleep was so perfect, and the opportunity was there so I took it.  Later.
