No, I didn't get to much yesterday. A good start, then nothing. Though I have cut my "days" in half, they are still very long. Albeit I would rather run long than have three or four micro-days in an actual day. That is... really disorienting. Long days are a serious strain however. It's spring, those are my choices. All or nothing, sometimes. If I can, I will almost always pick all. Lately, that choice has been available, and chosen.
Still, my heart isn't hurting like it was. Those forty eights were really taking a toll. Don't think they would cause death, just discomfort. But great discomfort, more so stacked wall to wall. A good day of sleep in there helps. The longest such trip I have taken, when I was younger, was ten days up. Don't believe the notion that sleep deprivation can kill you. Especially if you have experienced it and learned how to deal with it... both in sickness and health. Not in a few days, it won't kill you, anyway. There is a disease that makes it so people can't get REM sleep, and really no sleep at some point. They slowly go mad, dreaming while awake. Even that takes... a year, years, sometimes longer. They become living poltergeists, lost spirits trapped in flesh. Truly. So, while ten days is... something... different... even that isn't all that special. Just not normal, or normally available for most.
Many of the things I do in life that are... different... aren't so much of a choice, or a decision... only one of several options, often none of them better. Choosing between the fire and the pan may seem easy. However, the fire, while it might hurt more, is over more quickly. Unless you have been there, be cautious with your judgments. It'll hit you right between the eyes, at some point, when you are forced into the same, or a similar, situation.
The beef is in! Well, it's at the butcher. I will meet with some folk today to arrange for the cutting. Could have done it online, but for me, I know nothing. Clan reps who will be sharing out the beef will be there. Whaught? Didn't know Mormons had clans? This Is the Highlands! :p Anyway, should be fun. For me, as best I can tell, I want ribeye, inch and an half... chuck roast, all I can get... almost all other roasts cut to jerky meat, though a roast or steak mix they advise, let's just say I will take their advice... the rest into burger. Though soup bones would be quite good, and any organ meat they might offer.
I will put another load of laundry in. I hope to go shopping after visiting the butcher. And that will be that. But, first, to wake. Good day.
