Sometimes, I suspect, the old girl wakes me for her own purposes. Sometimes she just thinks I should be awake. Generally she is fair, if not always correct. Today she was both. I suspect she wanted out. Though... I do think she thought I had enough sleep as well. Persistent old girl. At least she has learned to not use claws.
Awake I am. Teeth brushed, waiting that half hour after brushing and gargling for tea, and meds. Blood sugar is 148, bp is 138/99, p. 90. Better, for no good reason(s), than yesterday. Fasting starts today. Maybe two days, maybe longer. The goal is five days, then longer, when I trust to go that far. The difference between sleep-fasting and wake-fasting is that when I would sleep for weeks, my body would slow, greatly. While awake, my body can't slow. Which is why fasting shaves weight, wake-fasting that is. Which is why the weight loss surprised me. As for pain? I think sleep-fasting was worse. I would dream of starvation, couldn't wake to deal with it. True horror.
I hope to do things today, if doubt. It's 55ish, F, at 8:30. Strange. Or seems so to me. I'd like to do a few small parts of several projects and a few chores. We'll see. First my wake-up routines. I'm not sure if it is tea time yet or not. Medicine and tea. While nothing was done yesterday, I did take medicine, brush, and do my reads, save the last bp check. That's something, and becoming pretty typical. Later.
Yah, I usually wake face to face with a cat too.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't mind. Often appreciate her efforts. It seems likely you are similar, as there are options. No more sensual alarm clock, of utility not... function... *cough* may be obtained.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but sometimes it’s 3:30 a.m.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah. Bad alarm clock!
ReplyDeleteShe used to push that. I kicked them out for a while. Can't kick just one out, unfortunately. I let them back in from time to time, and for a year or two Sam didn't do that anymore. If she goes too early, out she will go again. I will tell her. It's amazing what they understand. Mine do, if they don't always... hrm... care, or have the willpower to choose. We'll see.
