On the cusp of waking up.

.

No, not mechanically.  I've been awake all evening, technically.  I mean something is changing, or becoming a potential.  I've been in a waking sleep the last bit of time.  Oh, I've been active.  Eating, cleaning, reading, and such... but in low-key way, almost more drifting than functioning.  There has usually been intent, but it has been difficult to apply that.  Between being mid-winter, even with the warm temps, medicine worries, and a few other things, it is simply difficult to focus.  That might be changing, or I am nearing the surface of a sort of awakening.  I have to watch my p's and q's, though it might not matter.  Sometimes, just as with actual physical sleep, I near the surface of wakefulness but don't quite reach it.  It is nice to understand, even from the sleepy side of things, though.  This is a new feature.  There have been months lost to that fog, where I remember nothing.  Perhaps, in total, five of the last 20 years, perhaps more.  The memory isn't completely lost, always.  It's just that something external has to call me to a particular memory if that memory was actually stored.

It is 42 this morning, give or take.  It is supposed to get to 47 or 49 or something.  Odd.  I would have thought... well, if it is partly cloudy, I guess I could see that.  February third and May like weather?  It has been a warm winter.  Very strange, nonetheless.  The MidWest and further West is getting it heavier than usual, so there is that.  I don't mind the mild winter.  It sure beats shoveling three times a weak.  Shoveling, or blow snow, is fun a few times, the first time for sure.  Repetition, especially in quick order, quickly causes the novelty to fade.

Ah, I did figure out a problem, and, mostly, solved it.  The stylus on my smartphone was too sensitive.  Now, from time to time, it has been better and worse.  I assume that firmware updates change, or reset, something.  And there may be more to it.  I decided to look for a way to fix it.  I found a way.  The stylus has a panel that can be removed.  Mine was so fragile that it fell apart in removing though.  Underneath it are two potentiometers.  One of them is for sensitivity.  I altered, as per instructions, and now I have a better performing stylus, if I need to figure a way to cover that gap.  Bleh.  Always something.  Scotch tape sounds about right... no... that always curls up on the edges then gums everything up.  I'll figure something out.  Hmm... perhaps just a thin piece of heavy paper or thin cardboard, cut to fit.  Yes, that might be the way.

Not much else.  I might even go to bed shortly.  Right now is not the time to be trying to force a schedule change, I think.  Not quite yet.  Good night/day.


That reminds me, I'm all out of... all libations.  Hmm... yeah.
