I wasn't sure I would be able to sleep.  I am running hot.  Is it something I am eating?  Do I have some mild odd infection somewhere in the background?  Is my body resisting the cooling?  I know, I go through these from time to time.  More when I dig a bit deep, even more so, I learned, when I eat even a moderate carb infused meal.  If I fear freezing, due to environment, and I need to go, I can do high carb... it'll keep me and another/small area warm.  It seems that is not the only thing.  I have definitely not been eating even a light carb load.  Burning.  More mildly that carbs create, yet more than most would know.  I doubt if it shows up, if measured, save as low grade.  I am usually up to five degrees cooler than most, give or take... or used to be.  So when I am at "normal" temp, I am running a low-grade fever.

No worries.  Sleep helped.  I had to sleep with just a sheet cover, but was able to go without the ac... just the fan... on high.  Between the nap and the sleep I might be doing better.  There are still odd... rumblings.  I don't know why it takes so long to peculate through.  As I wrote though, I believe there are things that help the system kick up to ketosis a bit quicker.  I need to... explore, then perhaps purchase, some of these to see if one works for me.  They are on the pricey side, however.  I guess they have us over a barrel... unless there is a homebrew that is safe.  Ugh.  It's like having a thunderstorm take roost in one's delicate places under the hood.  And the noises!  I... never!  :p  Well, I really used to not, not often.  Just wished.

I didn't finish the dishes or hit the boxes.  But I did clear and clean some in the kitchen, I did, I think, get the water softener partially back on track and do research on it, I did a lot of little organizing in the living room, made a meal and waited until later to eat.  It's not perfect.  I am not supposed to be able to live well, so doing even that is... something.  Further, I am pretty sure I will get to some of what I missed today.  it isn't even that I was lazy, or ill, yesterday.  It is simply that things take time, often more than anticipated.  As long as you realize you can't sprint like a man with a whip to his flesh all of the time, that things do take time and often more than suspected... if time was even included in the initial thought process at all...  Who, me?  and then you take that all together, with a grain of salt... yum!  then get to what you can do and relax and do it right, working in the moment on what you are doing?  Then life is good.  Even with the fever, internal combustion experiment, and aches from pressing, bending, and being humanish?  Yeah, life is good.  So good I am pulling a steak out for tomorrow.  Ribeye, boys and girls, one that is an inch and an half.  To be grilled.  Oh, heavens, I know I don't deserve it.  I don't deserve much, and yet I do believe God has blessed me in ways that don't make sense, for reasons I cannot understand, and that I will praise Him for it.  And enjoy the fruits.  These are enough and more.

Ah, well, I best... get on to waking.  I'll pour the tea into my half gallon jug for later, shoot through heavy coffee, consider as I wake, and...  Hmm?  Don't ask me.  Not even truly awake enough to know what I wrote.  Oh... but I did bump into something today.  A little contest of wits that... well...  I won't say I lost, only that I am now thinking along some other lines.  Glasses, meaning a visit to some eye doctor.  Self pay, of course.  Perhaps a dentist too.  I can't worry about all of these things, I'm simply not in that sort of shape.  I may well die and quickly in a grid down... or... due to demand, with the bit of stores, and this and that, I may... figure things out?  Don't know.  Just a vid that caught me a bit off-guard and given me a bit of direction.  I have some old glasses.  They are a bit beat up and scratched.  Would be nice to attempt to buy several others, make sure they work, and such.  Here is a link to inexpensive glasses and their ordering vid.  And the video which started it all I will simply post.

He isn't my favorite.  Can be a bit of a *cough* old goat.  Still, this was good enough.  I haven't been doing much posting on prepping.  And, yet, it is just as, if not more, important as ever.  It hasn't gone away.  It won't go away.  It is coming.  How long?  How long did it take your parents to drive to grandma's house?  How long did it take you to screw up your nerve to ask your wife to marry you?  How long does anything take?  It takes as long as it takes.  Heck, some think Christ Himself is taking His dandy time.  And, if He is?  That is a good thing.  It means those here have not lost their faith in great enough numbers that evil rules both quietly and publicly.  Don't believe the press, keep praying, and life will... struggle on.  'Tis a good thing.  Even if an old goat might get... grumpy about things from time to time.  *cough*

Good day.
