Oh, well... not so much?

I decided to try to stay awake through the day.  Why?  I'm feeling good, for the first time in... a long time.  I want to enjoy it.  I am almost sure I could have slept.  But I have almost no pain, even if I do a few things.  It is a blessing I simply do not wish to sleep through.  Even my hands... the holes I poked in them on the cage material are all, save one, completely gone.  They went in an half inch on most, I would guess.  One remains, but it wasn't a puncture, more a near miss.  It looks like a splinter was removed, having only skimmed the skin.

So... yeah.  It's almost like a Christmas morning.  Only I didn't know today was the day.

I, however, may end up going down anyway.  If a potential visitor is planning to be here in the afternoon, I want to sleep to be awake for the visit.  If the visit will be this morning, or some other day, then staying up will work.  So strange to have to attempt a schedule.  That itself is a rare thing.  If because that rarely can work out.  Who knows, I might not have a choice, just crashing when it happens.  All I know is that I am tired of being stuck on night shift.  I have things to do in the day, and that isn't working anyway.  Time to push.  Especially while feeling better.  It's a twofer.

I'd best get meat thawing, while at things this morning.  The water is ready for the rabbits.  At sunup, hopefully... if there will be sun?  Never can be certain.  Weather could roll in and shut the world down any time.  Or not.  They suggest this could be in the top three to five warm years on record.  I'll... reserve judgment... if... I don't think so.  Maybe not the worst year, but...  With the way the media is, however, they will probably tell us it was, in spite of it not being so.  That is how it goes with them now.  They lie about the temperatures, to my face, even locally, most of the time I have bothered to check.

Anyway... If I can stay up, I would like to get a few things done, inside.  A bit of the remaining dishes, trash collected, recycling...  And, of course, critters and their needs.  It might seem an annoyance, but it really does give me something concrete to do.  It gets me out of the house, even for just that little bit.  And, it is a part of food security most people don't have the opportunity to attend.  Imagine living in a hive, and having the food system break down.  It will... get ugly.  Even around here, there might be some... troubles.  But there are enough locals who do this sort of thing, that... well... it'll work out.  Stealing a man's excess?  Stealing food right off a man's plate though?  Yea, no.  Small troubles, mostly, or short lived.

I will take a few aspirin.  Half the time I write that I will take it, I forget... or stall until I am in bed or no longer need it.  But, with pushing the day, and just finally having a good day, I... want a bit of help.  On back to reading the internet, watching vids, and generally scruffing about until the sun comes up.  Good morning and day, SlowPoke.  :p
