Finally did make it back to sleep.

I think it was 3:00.  The wind has been gusting.  Though it is warming.  My thermometers are in disagreement, by a lot, and online sites... when I check... seem to split the difference.  And yet I trust my mechanical thermometer more than the others.  It's a bit frustrating.  However, I suspect that beside choosing poor places to measure ground temps, weather "scientists" are just as well choosing instruments that do not measure accurately.  No, I don't trust them.  Often I believe they mean to get it wrong, and arrange it to fail.  Even so they are failing.  Which means, if anything, global cooling.  Since that would be contrary to man-made affairs, they have lost the battle.

I set the alarm, changing it to go off a bit later.  I couldn't wake though.  Sleep was just too off.  I am pretty sure the phone rang a number of times, which I haven't checked yet.  Though I might have just dreamed that.  Yeah, that happens, about fifty fifty.  Or I will get one call then echo that in dreams.  I really should turn my phone off when sleeping, or trying to sleep.  Nah, tried that.  I then have a solid chance to forget to turn it back on.

Today?  Hmm... a bit of waking.  Then I'd like to dig into the bathroom and kitchen.  A shower, then setting up dishes, putting a load of laundry to go, and then seeing where I can go after that.  In the upper 40's F, outside, it would be nice to clear and clean enough to open the windows for a spot in the afternoon, if it stays this warm.  I did vacuum most of the stuff out of the freezer.  I left what was in pie pans in there.  And I need to wash the inside surfaces.  It seems that the freezer had fluids inside of it, which came out.  That caked what had been dry coffee and baking soda.  It doesn't really make sense.  In any case, I need to wash the interior again.  It still seems like there is a minor odor.  Though, perhaps, I just need to move the freezer and wash under it.  Bleh.

Spring seems to be arriving early.  If this is just a moment, all good.  If it is for real, that is all good too.  Just having a break, either way, is good.  I had finally gotten used to it being locked in.  Not terribly cold, just solidly below zero.  Hmm, perhaps there is a chance to get out more often, maybe get to hiking a little earlier.  Nothing fancy, no massive hikes, just little spots out in the fresh air.  I think my friend is hoping he can get out too.  Between the two of us, I might end up out a bit more often.  Sometimes solo, sometimes as a crew.  My ability to carry gear, like a bite to eat, extra water and water purifying, and even a couple of hammocks and shade cover, could make for fairly reasonable outings.  Danged kids anyway!  *grins*

Well, on to waking.  Yeah, I still feel bruised to the middle.  I can't be sure what is causing this.  I've had it before, but only when off medicine, or going back on after a poorly stretch off, or if I had been in a fight a few days ago, maybe a week ago.  If my opponent was any good at fistwork and reasonably sized to put that in play against me.  I almost felt bad for the idiots who decided to check a known false with me.  Effort won't earn an A here, just a clobbering you won't forget if you survive.  I'm not sure what is up with it.  It's not bad enough to keep me down, I don't think.  Just annoying.


It's a tight game.  Oh... I have this feeling that she is back.  Hiding, perhaps?  Dunno.  She doesn't have to hide, really.  Just, if that's the way, don't put a shadow on my door.  It's not tricky or spooky.  *wink*
