Just a nap.

.

Longer than a typical nap, but not ten hours down after a few awake, either.  Sleep was as good as it should be, if a pillow between the knees and careful placement of my neck and shoulders to start, then every time I rolled or shifted.  It takes focus to do that while sleeping.  I think that I can do it has something to do with dream control.  I have to put it in my mind before sleep and consciously focus even while technically still asleep, but I can do this and a few other different things.  Never tried to do several things at once, have some doubts, but I have been wrong before.

Most aches and pains are rounding off, softening.  I forgot to take aspirin but will now. I need a stronger easement which requires something.  The less I take it the more effective it is.  Oh, since cold wasn't working, I have gone back to higher heat.  I think, for now, that is the ticket.

Oh, and popcorn for a snack, perhaps a show.  I don't know what youtube has done, exactly.  What I do know is I don't like their "random generation pops", so there is no reason for me to bother.  They want to screw around, even with music, based on politics, they can go without my patronage.  They have even jiggered with my "watch again" selection.

A called home.  A snow, and ice, storm there.  Half a day of work today, probably none tomorrow.  Plus her street is sheet-ice.  Not much I can do.  Did find out when the trip is.  She wanted me to arrive just a few days before heading out.  I was thinking more like a week ahead.  If I get back in shape, since it won't be high summer, I can acclimate better by helping with dishes, laundry, and else stuff... so I'm not a full load drag of a visitor.  Heck, I don't think my mother has had a souffle.  Hmm, though I best work on getting more flavor in those.

We won't be staying even a week.  Not sure if I will be staying at my brother's house, there may not be room.  It'll be very short, probably busy, as they will be moving shortly thereafter.  I'm not sure if a family reunion will be in the planning stages when we return.  For next year, hopefully in the spring, if so.

Not sure if the uncle and aunt, a brother and sister of my mom, will be going or not.  Would be nice if I... have my doubts.  I sure hope so, but I know how things go.  For me too sometimes.  Yeah, I really know.

Hmm?  I had best consider wardrobe.  I have nice clothes but the sizing is awful.  If they can't be sized they need to be replaced.  I am guessing replaced...  46 or 44 down to 40 or 38.  And my dress shirts fit as sails.  Oddly, my sport jacket still fits, if I can find it.  Yes, losing in the right places.  I'd love a right suit, but timing and money, and continued losses?  I should get in and check.  Half down up front, a month to process?  Maybe.  Room in money and time beyond the givens, if just.  Ugh.  At least reasonable slacks, a shirt or two, and a proper dress belt?  If I can find the jacket.  Bleh.  Money, money, money.

Oh, what to get for gift.  Mother will say $20 in card.  No, mother.  At least books for a session, as a minimum.  A $100 won't clear that.  She gives bits all the time, doesn't realize how much she gives.

Well.  To aspirin, popcorn, a movie, then dishes, boxes, and the kitchen?  That is the plan, hope. I haven't fallen further behind than dishes, mostly.  I think I can catch up in a day, and grind well beyond in a week, if I can crunch the tasks.  Later.
