As good as it gets.

Until the weather eases into summer, and I get used to that as much as possible, I am as good as I will be.  Things have smoothed out a bit.  No more micro or mega days, if my sleep cycles are on the slim side and my wake cycles are a wee long.  Both are just outside margins... preferences... some such.  Though that is almost always the case.  Usually, however, it is just one that is out...  too much or little sleep, too long or short of days.  Still, nail one or both foot/feet to the floor and there will be issues.  I finally figured out, just a few years back(?), I can do one of two things, when in a bind.  I can either attempt to reset my day by realigning my sleep and wake cycles with daytime and night or I can push through and do what I can, when I can, and just ignore the when of it all.  The latter seems to be more successful, usually.  It brings me, more quickly, to a day schedule, and has greater potential to get things done.  Potential does not always equate to facts on the ground, hoof prints in the sand, or any other jazz.  Odds, evens, ends, possibility, and probability... that's my life fodder.  It's impossible that I am here, so difficult to always make heads or tails of any of the rest beyond just that.

I woke without too much heat damage.  Then again, I think it only got to 80 today.  I was awake until nearly 15:00, then woke at...21:00~22:00.  Can't be sure, blurry.  On the good side, I was awake quickly enough to pull the time together, extrapolate, and have some clue.  The order of the day, again, is a number of tasks... as listed yesterday.  Though any will do.  Dishes, laundry, the kitchen, cooking, heat-cutting lengths of rope and flat tubing for security catches, stitching or hooping those...  Much to do, all the time in the world, little ability to concentrate.  I need a... uhrm... boss?  Not a whip and lash type... mostly.  A bit of sting, from time to time, but honey too.  Such interesting creatures if you know how to... hand them certain keys and domains.  Just don't... well yeah, give them the house, just not... the throne or crown.  *wink*

I may seem... overpleased with some current events.  And, while I am satisfied with how a few things have gone, I... know these could all fall apart, take a wrong turn, or could be wrong right out of the box.  From what I can see, they are the only way forward.  Anything else will end in tyrannies that will stretch out for more generations than the USSR lasted, or China, really.  China is still going, but it's a broken toy.  It will never get back on it's feet until it's people take back their nation.  That probably can't happen after so many purges of the better Chinese... the educated, the soulful, the truth believing/seeking/abiding.  They have slaughtered those among themselves so often that there are none left, not to the depths of their beings.  Just... mice.  Happy to serve a murderous state so long as they aren't on the menu.  A nation is it's people.  Their people are ghosts, ours are being systematically crushed by foreigners who don't know, or care, why America is or was great, what is or was good about it, or why things are they way they were or are.  Rule of law means nothing to foreigners who break the law to enter, and it's one of the cornerstones of this nation.  Take that away, which our elites have been busily doing, and you get Mexico, with or without the immigrants.  The invaders simply add to ground-swell lower pushes toward that sort of "government".

So, yes, happy.  But not without a lot of doubts about how it will turn out anyway.  Even if what I hope happens, it... may just be another trick.  Don't ever go whole hog.  Keep something in reserve, in case a new direction must be sought, quickly.  Don't take your eyes off the road, or concentration.  Don't hand anyone all of the keys, trust, or faith.  A little at a time, for what is needed and maybe a bit more.  Eventually you have to have some faith in someone, but not too much, not in anyone... not anyone here.  Not even yourself.  Quite a trick.  A losing trick actually, but all there is.  Though, don't fret about it too much either, just understand.  Then relax as you go about your paranoid little way.  *chuckling*  Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

On with... something.  Hungry!  But... not yet.  Grilling?  Yeah, maybe.  Hmm... might toss a potato or two on the grill while it is warming, let it run long enough.  How about a half dozen?  Yeah... can use the extra for with eggs and bacon, maybe do a scalloped potato thing (never done one, had them, but not made one myself).  I love trying new things.  But first, a bit more time to wake.  Good... day... night... cycle?  Yeah.  Not even sure what I wrote.  Just bled out whilst I was waking.  Oh well, I might read it someday.  Later.

I think I can.  Normal a few times, then add, say, salami, or sprinkle with chevre, or, or, or... endless, these.  Could even see doing such with turnips or rutabaga.  You know, I've never had parsnips that I can, directly, for sure, recall.  On my list.  Why?  Because, little ones... I can.  *- ^*  *^ -*
