Sore, bruised, tired.

It's still cool, or maybe being tired enhances the effect?  I have been on the cusp of waking since 6:30-7:00.  Just made it up (regardless of time-stamp, it was about 10:00 when I woke).  Dreams... dream after dream, on and on.  A lot of... figuring past through over under problems, enemies, lovers and a few other women types, a few combat sort of enemies if outside of war tactics.  It was more the mental part of dealing with the darker, more competitive parts of life.  I did well, if I had to suffer to succeed.  That is the way.  More so with two types.  Friends, family, enemies, and women... the most dangerous of all of those, in just about any context, is when you know them extremely well or you don't know them at all.  Further, the times they are most dangerous is when they think they have all the aces and feel free to play them.  That, my lad, is when you really have to be on your toes.  Even if you have to lose, you can mitigate.  Oh yes you can.  Funny thing is, people like to lord, and haggle, and between those two... *wink*

In spite of how rough I feel, I will be getting out before long.  Probably, I hope, around 13:00, maybe noon.  We will see.  I should make a bite to eat first.  Eggs and bacon, nothing fancy.  I thawed bacon from the hog I brought home the other day.  I'd like to try beef and pork sausage... take the plain pork, add some beef, then work up a spice and herb mix I like.  I'm not sure how well that will work.  Pork is rich and beef is rather bland, so they might work.  I have heard ground lamb would do well with pork... but rich and rich?  Different types of rich?  Or was it lamb and beef?  Bleh.  Morning memory can be less than wonderful.  Anyway, bacon and eggs.

Something I am hoping to do today is to look up how to make simple meatballs.  I don't know about any fillers, but I'll look.  Egg?  I don't know that.  Sauces or spices?  Maybe.  I just want to take a look at a dozen or so ideas, then pick one and go, mix and match, or just get a general idea and run with my own thing all but whole hog.  I am hoping for something that can be backed on cookie sheets, perhaps done in some bulk, throw half of them in a bag when cool, then into the freezer and use the rest for spaghetti and meatballs.  I had that last night and it just... well...  I have meat sauce and spaghetti from time to time.  But I have always thought the notion of meatballs to be nifty.  Not sure I will do as well, I just want to try.  Uhrm, that will be after the trimming.

As to trimming?  After I complete the high work, assuming nothing on me is broken or cut off, I would then like to cut suckers or such from the trunks of a number of trees.  That would make for a good cool-down session.  I suspect I have a good hour of pruning those, if I go slowly enough.  :p  At least one of my mothers told me that she sometimes had to line me up with the corner of a building to see if I was actually moving.  I just asked if she wasn't, finally, proud of me for something.  Oh, she tried to get wicked mad but... found a little joy in her heart and just couldn't.  ...makes everything look better.  We cried, we laughed.

Well... on to waking.  Be well, work hard, move slowly, cry, laugh, and point fingers.  Good day, sir or madame.
