Awake, better, planning.

.

I thought it around 2:00 when I crashed back to bed.  So very tired, feeling bad in about every way, and cold!   So very cold.  I slept until almost 5:00.  It was the cold that woke me, as if meanly pinching my toes.  Oh they hurt, feet and legs too, but not like the pain in the toes.

I checked, but they were well under the blankets.  I tried all the feet and leg warming tricks.  I might as well have been rubbing two logs or stones together, or massaging frozen small sausages.  Nothing doing.  I realized I was awake, and in good condition otherwise, so decided to wake and get a start on the day.  Or so it was, is, hoped.  By the time shorts were put on and pockets stowed with general ed carry items, my feet and legs were warm.

The thermometers upstairs read 63°/64° at floor and thigh levels.  Downstairs it read 69° or 70°, but has been dropping, against protocol, to 68.0°!  Well, it is just before dawn, sometimes it does drop.  I had to check, it seemed so dark, but yes.  The second floor gets it far earlier than down here.  Oh, and it is 42° out there.  Very good sleeping weather, if your feet don't feel like they are becoming frostbitten.

A trim, then shower.  If I can still stand, I'll get dishes going everywhere.  Perhaps set laundry to wash.  Ducks and the girls next.  Then breakfast?  I may do breakfast as I wake... the first two hours of most wake periods, if that can be shortened to a shower, dressing, and going, or end up a four to ten hour slog to nothing but another sleep cycle.  Trying for two hours today.

If those things go as planned, perhaps cleaning the bathroom will take place.  If so the week won't be a total loss.  If so, tomorrow I will clean the oven.  It is pretty rough.  Cleaning it will really help roasts add to the caves scents.  It does, a bit now, just offset by old oven smells.  Then I'll do a pork roast for next week.  The way I use the oven will help keep it clean longer.  Tech needs respect and tending.  I'll finishoff  the beef roast from last week today.  It was better this time, if it still seems meat quality has crashed, and for years... not a recent thing.

Almost out of frozen meat.  A few more packs.  One more?  I really need to get to the store.  I can bypass the hardware store, in part.  Not so much the grocery store.  Though, if out, perhaps checking my list and comparing prices at the hardware store would be good.  As long as it isn't as packed as walmart on Sundays or loot days.

Yea, plans.  Now to wake and eat a bite.  Chia seed steeped in hot tea, with pumpkin seeds and cream.  It isn't all that tasty, but it fills and isn't horrible.  Boring.  Later.
