A bit cloudy, a bit cool.

.
.
Not terrible things.  Proper spring weather, really, can't complain.  I actually wish I could get out in it.  It's a mild cool, enough to enhance sleepiness though.  Some days are warm enough that I have used the ac along with the fan.  The fan just isn't enough.  Those days are rare, so far.

I went to bed at somewhere between 23:00 and midnight.  I then was able to push sleep through to 5:00, give or take.  Not much, but better.  Two to four hours of sleep seems fairly common.  And my days are shorter than they should be, often nearly equaling my sleep times.  I keep pushing at that if with little luck.  The intent is there, nothing else.

I have kept my consumption of fluid and food, plus all other functions, in line with keeping me from swelling in the legs and elsewhere.  Being normal has become such a regular thing that on the rare occasion I drink a little too much a little too fast I feel a pins and needles sort of mild pain on the tops of my feet.  The inner pains, however, remain.  But that has been fairly regular for many months, probably years, now.  It has always been an on and off thing since first becoming ill.  It used to travel more, but has become regular to one spite... opposite my liver, if I have it right, on the left side of my frontal abdomen... two to three inches in.  As best I can tell.  From what I can see, it is where the small intestine is packed.  My thought is that it is merely muscular?  Just not sure.  As I lose weight, and drink less, perhaps... who knows.  Minor pain, mind you, just a usual thing.

I have a game coming in.  I am hoping it will push me beyond just sitting around.  I've been stuck for some time now.  I have been, mostly, keeping up.  Since the curtains and sheers I haven't been able to do much else.  No laundry, dishes get roughly cleaned then left to dry, no kitchen cleaning, no weeding or tree trimming... nothing, literally.  Sleeping such an odd schedule too.  Sometimes gaming stretches my days and nights back around, if too they sometimes then take those over for some period of time.

That's that.  I might, as I suggested, brew coffee for a change this morning, or make black tea but add whole whipping cream.  Both of those, unlike darjeeling, are too hard, for me, at the strength I drink them, to do without cream.  Though cream adds to viscosity, which is why I backed off coffee lately.  It was simply too thick as I drank it, might have held on to fluid too strongly.  Darjeeling doesn't do that, and I can drink it plain... no sweetener or cream, though once in a while, even so, I don't mind adding xylotol or a partial packet of crystal light, or even, a few times a month, real sugar.  Mint can be okay, more so if iced, and even more so if real sugar is used.  Southerners just get some things right.

Have a good day.  I certainly hope you get to more than I will be.  Later.

  4. Yeah, I think I was thinking Swammy, from Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. That'll leave a mark. Wait, did I do that right?

    Now, swanny, isn't that a romantic thing? Oh, not, say, love per se. More like the joy of romance, and rather open to interp? Musical at times? Not sure if I ever got that quite right though.

  5. No, in this case it's used as one might use the expression 'I declare!' You could probably also substitute I swear :-)

  6. Nice! I love learning new things. A lot of Yanks discout(ed) Suthrns. Other than the heat, and a particular stylism that came from the Civil War, used as bait and switch, I've always known I was a bit behind the ball when dealing with some as I have. There is a lot of very subtle nuance, and passions run high while always being thickly veiled. I suppose, in some ways, that's everywhere. I've just enjoyed the bit I have experienced, usually by noticing when I wasn't being noticed myself. While you all have your ways, I have my own. And being from so many strange mixes... there is no book. I have always sought another. Which is why I look so closely, if usually from the shadows. Some of my kind, no matter how similar, should... be even viewed... cautiously. *wink*

    Any, serious about the thanks. I like such tidbits, attempt to tuck them away. As long lived as my kind is, it might one day be of use. Even next time around. *blink*
