Perhaps.

I was up until 13:00, perhaps 14:00.  So I am swinging back over into days.  Can I keep it?  One thing at a time.  First I have to actually get there.  My schedule is rather weak until it sort of gets there, then settles.  It could just keep on kicking around, there might still be some odd bounce to it even if it does eventually settle.  It is difficult to know.  Right now.  It may depend on weather becoming more static.  It's just how that works.  That I sleep, usually, eight hours a day... and can go weeks, sometimes months, on a regulated schedule, is a major success.  Anything more is probably going to require even better health.  Now, that might be on the way but it isn't something that will happen overnight.  Healing slowly, while you age, is a tricky thing on top of it.  Some like aged cheddar (not so much me, mind you).  But old cheese is more fragile.

Dinner arrived.  I thought I would be able to get up and eat.  And while, after a bit, I did hear, and then was able to wake for it, I also woke with a medium migraine.  So, until my schedule is a bit better, I believe I will call dinners off.  I couldn't eat.  Well... I snuck a bite.  Good, but... I was in no condition to eat.

I am hoping to get out today.  Shopping, a meal out, and perhaps a bit of looking for heavier wood for shelving in the bathroom.  Since I don't have a planer or such, I need to find a source that will work the wood, if necessary.  I doubt if I can get more than, say, 4x12's, perhaps only 2x12's.  While I want 4" wood (if it probably won't be actually 4", and certainly not after planing), 2" might be good enough, is a negotiation point, and would be easier to work with and install, I do need at least 20" total width/depth, depending on how you term that, for the sink to sit on... 22" would be better.  At least for the top shelf.  The bottom shelf I would prefer a bit shy of that, two to four inches less.  Allowing for more open floor space, perhaps a curtain to cover the shelf, or something else... even just space and shade, for the towel and sundry shelf below.

But, first, hiking.  The full run, with a solid pack.  The tent is in, and the tarp.  I have a small sleeping bag, if not a preferred bag it will do for a pack item.  I went through my packs last night, emptying them, finding some items I want, and I'll be repacking the bigger pack today (shortly... my morning/day, while you sleep).  It gets a bit confusing sometimes, I like to try to keep it straight.  Sort of like if you are falling through space... even if there isn't an up or down, literally... picking a direction so one isn't spinning, then going from there is preferable to having no system at all.

I have a minor list of what I want to take.  Enough for two nights out, and a little extra, just in case.  A bit of food, water management and containment, fire starter goods, a few cutting tools, cordage, sleeping and cover for that.  I have heat bags, so mre's will work for now... should I get out and not wish to come back... or not be able to do the run back.  Though, even at a 7.4 mile hike, I shouldn't have any trouble, eventually, making the run in one day. When the hammock arrives, it might be fun to set that up somewhere, just for a break from the hike and to experiment.  I'll just be using the bivy as weight in the pack for now, perhaps as an emergency thing.  Finding flat ground on this path would be a trick.  Just getting far enough off the path would be a trick.

I am hoping, when the last of the gear is in, to begin practicing putting it up in the back yard, checking various configurations, even sleeping out back in various weather to see just how to do things, before I try out there, after a long hike, perhaps as it is getting dark, and all.  You can really simplify the process with a little experience and some fussing.  I want to be able to set up a covered camp in five minutes or less... start to stop, then get that down to an art.  Then do it when I am tired... after a day of shopping and working or exercising, until it is perfected more.  I won't wait on that, just something to do through time.

Now to wake up more fully, take a shower and bath, do some dishes, then get the bigger pack ready.  Later.
