Whoa, Nelly.

I went down pretty hard.  I was wondering if I had eaten something bad.  Nothing seemed right.  And while there was no pain, I could tell it was just under a thin skin, waiting to jump out at me.  I think I made it to about 14:00 and change, but mostly because I finished a few things before crashing.  I wasn't trying to stay up that late.  I let out a message that I was ill and would be down, then hit it.  Hard.  Brick wall sort of hard.  Thankfully my body saw the wisdom of sleep and I was out pretty fast, all things considered.  I woke at about 1:00, with the very tip of a migraine ice berg.  The pain was gone before I had taken a few steps into the kitchen, a minor stroll from the bedroom.  Mostly.  Stilling blinking shards of it from time to time, but 99% gone.

A small pizza had been left for dinner.  It just needed to be cooked.  So, I did that, set coffee, and... some other stuff?  I fiddle, a lot, anymore.  Little things, between this and that.  Oh, you probably do that often.  It's a new gig for me.  I actually have enough energy to tinker, at least more often.  It used to irritate me, when people did that.  Still does, but now I understand WHY people do it.  Unspent energy, tasks to be done, not wanting to waste time, things like that.  It helps keep my motor running, helps to start it up, and then to shut it down, and is good when I am too low on 'fuel' to do anything big.  Which has been often lately.  Still... tootling will get things done... the little things.

Today?  I don't know.  Coffee, shortly.  A meal down.  I'm still feeling a bit messy on the inside.  I really pushed over some line.  The hope is to go hiking, though I am not sure that is doable.  Geared to go, though, whenever.  If I can get a nap in around 4:00~5:00, and wake easily, that might set me up for a hike.  If I can't do that, and am not ready for it, I might still make a shopping trip to town.  Just to get out, going, resupply, pick up an order, and have a free shot at hiking when that does come around.  I do need to start my hike earlier, while it is still cool enough.  In that area, when it gets hot it stays hot until when the sun begins going down.  I'd bet the canyon is just like the city... only a few degrees cooler due to altitude, but that isn't enough.

Well... I'll figure things out as I wake.  Later.
