Early to bed, plus the rest.

I think I was tucked in and snoozing by just after 20:00.  The shortening day and dark weather had more of a hand in that than anything else if I had to say.  Nothing I mind, no complaints.  Some days it is just better to go to bed earlier.  I woke, pretty much, at 5:00 if I didn't fully rise then.  A trip to the loo, letting Sam out... if I checked the feel of the world outside first.  Since I wasn't sure I would actually wake soon, I didn't want to let her go out if it was too cold without being sure when she might be allowed back in.  Cats are good with weather, but there are limits.  Hmm, I am actually not sure what their limits are.  Though Sam is an older girl, as cats go... fifteen to seventeen, in calendar years, which makes her older than me, I believe, in cat years.  It's something like 3 1/2 cat years per human year, give or take.  Hmm... though that would just make her middle aged.  And other than heat 90 F and above, I handle heat okay.  Even at 90 and above, so long as I don't try wind sprints, I seem to be doing better, much better.  But... I don't expect others to do the same.

I didn't finish the dishes yesterday.  Not much, just plastic bowls... though now I have a few extra items to wash.  So I reset the rinse for what all had been washed, and created a small wash bowl for what to wash.  I'll be doing the washing shortly, and letting that rinse with the rest before finishing that before too long.  Too bleary-eyed at the moment for more than the bit of washing.  That, when done, will open the way for a shower.  Which I also didn't get in yesterday.  Though two showers in a row, by day, is probably harsh on the skin anyway.  A luxury though, from time to time.  A trip to the post office as well.  Later, but in sufficient time.  Then some... other business.  Always more business.  Always.

Dreams of things, enemies on the march, plans for war from this group, simply survival for that group, many selling out their own, their own planning changes with the traitors.  Those who don't handle their own traitors will have to be handled as traitors as a group.  Not my doing, this... just a fly on many walls.  There is nothing for war to do, the parties have self-identified and are moving into positions, seeking levers of power, arms, civil and social leverage, and deciding how far they will go with civil war, even common war, if need be.  If you don't understand, think of it this way... ever racial group is gearing up to grab a part of the bounty.  The only white group that is active, has any political power, is actually actively working against it's own.  If you don't think of yourself, for yourselves, as a group, yeah...  It never ends well.  Then again, maybe that is the way it has to go.  If I do believe it is a choice.

Much to do.  I'll do what I can.  Good morning and day.
