Sleep is such a gift.

I have no idea when I went down.  I don't know if, when a post is updated, it takes a new timestamp but I don't thing so.  I received several calls, starting right at 18:00, so I was in bed before then.  My phone was on, I think, until stumbling through, for some reason, I checked it and turned it off later in the evening.  You know, if I am going to do weird things?  Why can't I be a sleep eater!  :p  Seriously though?  I think I would take turning off the phone to eating, even eating the phone?  Especially that.  Some people really have a serious problem with that.  If you have ever caught someone in the act, roommate, parent, etc... and they don't even know what they are doing?  Yeah.  Of course I think cutting carbs really would solve that problem.  Especially sugars and rawer carbs.

I woke right around 2:00 though... give or take 15 minutes.  I tested fasting blood sugar.  Thankfully it has come down some, it is at 160.  I really didn't eat much of the questionable food.  Though maybe that is why it is dropping so quickly?  That orange juice obliterated weeks of work for weeks.  Oh, and I did weigh in yesterday, first thing... 270.  Yeah... well... shit.

Anyway...  What to do today?  Laundry, the last bits of dishes, a shower, and some hand washing of socks.  I plan to actually do some phone business today, or make an attempt.  Oh, and first thing, actually, is I would like to set up the stereo.  It won't take too much, probably.  I simply need to clear a space on top of my book shelves.  One would not be enough.  Thankfully I have two side by side, matching, here in the computer room.  I have, mostly, dvd/blueray movies on top, and a few odds and ends, such as a liquid fuel storm lantern.  Some things, like the lantern and gas mask spare parts, can stay.  I think they make lovely decorations... plus are right handy.

First, however, I must wake more fully.  The bit of tea, perhaps bone broth, you know... the good day stuff.  Oh...  I am also going to sample kefir... as to blood sugar.  But when I have a day/awake fasting period, then can try it on it's own, then test after for an hour and two hours.  However that goes, the next thing I want to do is try some kefir before a bone broth and cream "snack", then with the two hourly follow ups... and then, next time I have a meal... which will be Thursday... do a trial where I do the same thing with kefir, but before the meal.  There is some suggestion that while kefir will raise blood sugar, it may help digest a meal and somehow lower the glycemic reaction to the food.  I will be testing this.  Testing it alone, first... or sometime.  And testing it with various items I otherwise normally consume.  Yes, I want to know.  I want to know how best to eat what I think I should be eating.  It won't be perfectly scientific.  It will be engineered, to a degree.  I don't need a statistically significant data point spread and analysis... just... a most likely scenario.  Besides, from what I am seeing, all of those seem to be wrong.  All we can do is get... close enough.  More like hand grenades than nukes, it is hoped.  But if nuke radius is as close as a thing can be known and practiced, so be it.

Oh?  I have become extremely frustrated with my reading situation.  So?  I looked at a number of speed reading books, ebooks.  Yeah, I know... might just be uselessly adding books to a pile I can't seem to dig through.  I am taking the best shot I can at improving my speed.  I also bought a book on speed learning, just as an aside or addition or multiplier.  I used to be able to read three books a week... and STILL have a life.  I read the NT, then the OT, and then the NT (bible) in a summer, but I think that was slow.  Speed reading and... I might read both in a month?  This time, though, there are a few areas I want to fully intellectually explore.  For example, I wish to make hashmash out of the lineage of Christ... both of them.  Yeah, there are two.  I HAVE read them three or four times, but not in a comparative manner.  Though that is a smaller detail thing.  There are other topics I wish to explore to a greater extent.

Only after I catch up on a couple dozen books, some in series, some not.  But not just read, with some of them, but debate... shred if I can.  And shred as I understand things.  Even the most brilliant, and I won't say that is a truth of any man as any man may stumble, can be brought down.  All should be, or should be approached with that intent.  Warriors of mind, flesh, and/or soul, be they brother or enemy, are there to make you stronger.  But that won't happen if you simply submit.  Fight... for your knowledge, freedom, understanding, faith.  Giving up to "a better" is no different than surrendering to Goliath, Microsoft, .gov, or anyone else... even .chur.  You must test, discern, and struggle with and against.

Oh, urhm, hmm?  Ah, right.  Something!  Simply not awake yet.  Music and... I dunno... something... until something.  I guess?  Yeah.  Good morning.  Why are you up so early, ya freak.  Later.
