Sleep was good.

I have had better, and several layers of better.  And yet, for decades, all I had was worse, and by many layers on to the very worst... no sleep, or a type of waking sleep.  This was near the top and I wasn't exactly expecting it.  When I work until I hurt, and keep it up, and for several days, sometimes good sleep can't be had.  Gratitude is in play this morning.  Well, and shortly a handful of painkillers.  I didn't take any the last day or two, I don't think?  Not yesterday anyway.  On the good side, or not(?), I can feel the pain today.  And yet I feel good, too.

Lots of dreams last night.  I only remember one.  Some woman and I were... debating.  If you have ever known a woman with whom you should not have an interest, of a romantic nature, but do in truth... and you both keep things civil... but underneath there is a want?  Well, this was that.  It might well have been directly from a memory.  Oh, in spite of my past nature, I was actually pretty good about this sort of thing.  And, yet, playing with just a touch of fire...  What seems even worse, to my way of thinking, is that we were debating something I was rather keen about.  And I couldn't seem to really hit all that hard.  Bleh.  Still, the bitter sweet portions of life, especially when maintained in innocence over bodily contradictions, are very fond memories.  I can't remember exactly who it was, but from the hints I suspect only a handful of women with whom I had such feelings in mutuality.  Several of them are still very alive.

Today?  I honestly suspect a shower will go forth.  Trash will most likely go out and probably on time.  A bit of a sit after those, and before them as I wake.  And, very possibly, a call to the butcher.  If the hog is ready, I'll do that.  If not, I will go on to the store, shopping.  Just groceries.  I forgot, when they smoke some of the hog meat, that is on a bit of a waiting list.  Only so much so quickly?  Or is it more that it takes time?  In any case, the hog may or may not be ready.  I will get out today, though.

I may do just a bit of work in the kitchen and bathroom though.  Sweeping the bathroom to keep ahead, clearing some of the countertops and tabletop... or more... and the floor a bit more.  Nothing big, not too much, just a bit.  Later.
