Not a bad wake.

.

Up a bit late, to bed late though.  It just happens.  Couldn't sleep as willed.  Slept well, dreamed well if I remember little.  It is like going out and only remembering that a few people smiled and were pleasant.  I know why I couldn't sleep though, I forgot to turn the furnace down.  Sometimes, when it's warmer, even if I am ready I can't sleep.  Cloudy and cool again, today.

While I am under the weather, for whatever though possibly several reasons at once, I am just under.  I keep trying to reach through.  Rather than breaching the surface, as if through water, I end up bruising my knuckles.  It's cold enough down here that it doesn't hurt, more than ego anyway.  I keep trying to break through, and failing.  On the good side, medicine will be fully dosed and regulated when I do make it back into functional life.

In the past, even at this level of medication, it can take months to get used to it.  But the medication will always slow me down compared to my best... if that is rather weak.  Usually, though, if I have been on medication for a while, then just stumble, I can usually get back to work flow within weeks.  This wasn't just a few days, but it was up to maximum, since I stopped.  On the good side, I can enjoy the down days.  I am not so far down I forget, or worse.

Buying food was reasonable.  Chicken is good, but better mixed with other meats.  It is a bit much on the digestive system to just eat, by itself, over and over.  But with two meats, so as to alternate, it works.  I wasn't sure if buying foods was the best idea.  Actually, I think it worked well.  The price was right, and it has lasted me for a bit.  Plus I haven't had to cook, so dishes aren't backing up.  I may do it again when this runs out, also making beans and beef, and perhaps steaming large batches of veggies and storing those.  That mix could last me over a week.  This batch, without a bit to add to it, does no last quite a week.  A pot and pan, plus containers, for a week and an half to two weeks of food is doable... all at about $125 or so.  Give or take.

Well, on to waking.  Later.
