Probably not the lack of vitamins and minerals.

I'm thinking the cool of spring, and various changes, is what is keeping me down a bit.  That mixed with general health issues, perhaps.  Doesn't take much, from any of my difficulties, often in mild combinations, for me to get decked.  Decked I am.  Still, pushing on.  Mostly just in the mind, but that is enough.  Keeping what engines active that I can keep active is my best bet.  The mind, being active, is pretty much key.  Though, in the right situations, with external stimulus or even stimuli if it is concentrated enough (mom, a... focused woman type, or drill sergeant type, as examples), I can work with the body being solid but the mind being lax.  In any case, with the mind in play, at least I can plot, plan, figure, and hit efforts here and there.  It's like using an electric device when electricity is spotty for whatever reason.  Frustrating, takes longer, sometimes much longer, than it should, but it's better than literally just sitting there.  So it has been for some time now.

I finished Fringe, the series.  Encased in egalitarianism as it was, there were some reasonable zero-point notions.  There was some mild maturity to it, over the course of events.  And there are a few things just for something like me, not necessarily to be shared.  Some of the sci-fi notions, if based on (to my mind) old, dated, theories, were interesting to contemplate.  I could, easily, transcribe a few things, to imagine the more realistic (again, to my mind) notions.  The ideas of space, time, coupled quarks, and a few other things still have imaginative possibility.  Sometimes they made obvious mistakes in the lines of their logic though... very offputting.  Sometimes they got it.  Sometimes they simply missed altogether.  To me, it looks like the intention of the show was to bring women into sci-fi/science.  Realizing, as they can't choose to otherwise if they pay attention at all, they realized women don't give a shit about science.  There seems to have been a constant battle between those writers/directors trying to keep women, and those trying to keep the show on sci-fi footing.  Probably why it only made five seasons.  Though, perhaps, the senior actor was at an end, and they realized there wasn't a show without him.

They did happen to get the notion of how women change with motherhood.  The lead female, who had been a go-getter (impossibly, of course, but...) transformed into a much more cautious woman.  She saw what the risks involved, tabulated, and started not wanting to 'play the game'.  That's not a bad thing.  I am surprised they caught that, then added it.  I never liked the second male actor.  His character was a putz, start to stop.  He may have improved, or tried to do so.  He is what women might suggest they want, but what has been proven that they don't want.  In real life, when they meet such a dolt, they suggest that if he is tea, they want coffee... if he is coffee, they want tea.  A perfect delta/beta nothing husband.  I suppose because women can't see, in their minds, their needs and wants for fear... because they don't understand or want to, on an adult level, the real interaction between the sexes.  The man is what they think they want, but don't want.  Not quite to the level of creepy, more to the level of 'bleh', or maybe 'friend'.  That she took his hand, and led him to their fist sexual encounter, proved it.

The lead male actor had some interesting characteristics, for me.  He had, fearing what he was becoming, had his people remove parts of his brain.  Talk about death of ego.  I merely broke my heart!  Although, I must admit, had I thought of a directed brain reduction...  Hmm...  No, no need at this point.  Still, I wouldn't have had access to the process, or the people or tech to direct such a thing correctly.  He used drugs to see, feel, and float through notions.  I have needed no such thing.  Actually, I wonder how much damage those things did to him.  It's one way, just not the best way.  I would call it the lazy, or even foolish, man's way.  Enough pain, suffering, experience, time, and some other elements allow one to let go and find, of mind, in ways that drugs cannot.  If you can't do it natively, perhaps it really isn't your area.  Plus, I think most drugs are escapes, not searches.  Still... there were some reasons to see a few cross-references.

If you are into sci-fi, more so if you are a woman who believe women are equal (or want to believe), this show might be for you.  If you have a steady hold on the differences between what is real, and not, and wish for some interesting diversion, this might work.  Not really my cup of tea.  It could have gone places, but it was too deeply targeting the feminine, which is not a scientific, or sci-fi, endeavor.  Just, compared to most of the modern fair, it ranks a few steps up... with the caveats.  Believe as you wish, believe does not fabricate fact.  Believe what Is, the rest will attend itself.  Good luck, runners.

Just woke.  The girls have been disturbing my sleep, I think.  Which is part of why I am in awful straights.  I need to begin setting my alarm.  Not necessarily to wake me, more to make sure I am getting enough sleep, or too much if I don't think the latter is part of the problem.  Too little sleep, however, even a few times a week, can build.  Between the cool and too little sleep, yeah.

A shower, a bath, a shave... some dishes, perhaps another load of laundry... then a nap so as to be ready for potential events this evening. Oh, I added "Day Dreams" because I am not even close to awake, mostly.  Later.
