Waking up is hard to do.

.

At least I can become actually conscious very regularly.  I often was always both asleep and awake at the same time, regardless if I was technically sleeping or awake.  There was a difference, but it was rather slight.  Those were brutal times.  Life has improved a great deal.  Even so, most of you would call it misery even to this point.  I won't call it joyous, merely better, and much better.  Sometimes coffee helps a bit, sometimes just digging in helps, sometimes, somedays, like today, I realize it is going to be a struggle all day long, or most of it.  More so since I have plans.

I did dig in, lightly, already.  I had to push for all of it.  Which is fine, mostly.  I cleaned off one of the counters, washed and dried that section, removing some of the minor appliances, putting some back so far.  I need more coffee, so another pot has to go on.  And I mixed the rice and lentils into an airtight bowl.  I can't mix the quinoa in, as I have to thoroughly was those seeds before cooking.  But I have the stuff all together, ready for the next batch.  And I started the first batch.  I'll give it twenty minutes, check the water level.  If more is needed for another 20 minutes of cook time, I'll add it.  It's a long cook, but the foods are whole... takes time.  When that is done, I'll have some eggs, mush, and fresh coffee.

I cleaned the table off a bit more, gathered the trash and took it out, then to the curb.  It doesn't look like it is recycling day.  Still, I took the cardboard I had torn down out.  I'll keep the box I had been using as a container for any other teardowns I do in the near future.  I am collecting dirty dishes, and need to hit the cast iron, so have it soaking in warm/hot water until I can get to it.  Probably after breakfast.  Then a shower/bath combo.  After that, and air drying, I may take a nap with the hopes of getting in to town for shopping and a hike.  I have one gift set to deliver as well.  Part of it is in the auto, hopefully I'll remember to do that on the way out or back.

I don't know after that.  It depends on what shape I am in.  I would like to finish the kitchen, sweep the bathroom and niche again along with the kitchen, then mop those two areas if I think I can hit the kitchen with the mop yet today.  When that is done, I am going to begin figuring out where to put the microwave cart, and then move the microwave to that, to open up more counter space.  Yeah... I'm not the fastest, and priorities...  The mush timer is beeping.  I best get to that, then... drift for the last twenty to thirty minutes of it's cook time.  The whole day looks like it's going to be nothing but push.  Which is fine, so long as I get what I want done.  Later.
