Five hours of sleep.

.

.

I suspected as much, when going down.  No matter how hard I was hitting, it just wasn't going to be a long, let alone all night, sleep.  I thought it would probably end up more like three hours.  Something about pushing far too hard ends in little sleep.  So five hours is fairly... nice.  As well, I worried that I would wake absolutely bushed.  Nope.  I mean... a little groggy, but typical of any morning.  No pain from the pushing and extra hours up.  Just... a typical, or typically better, "morning".

I got out and got the ducks in first thing.  I also checked the rabbits' waterers.  They are still flowing so I am leaving them in place.  I won't replace the mini does' waterer because they won't drink later at night.  Oh, I still have to get the second set of waterers going... reset... for the morning.  Their food is ready.  Just need to finish up with the waterers.  I am hoping to get another set next month, and perhaps one more before spring?  Or during spring.  Then keep those cool.  It takes a lot more time to cool them than it does to warm them, so having four sets gives me time to refill and chill, without pushing so hard for instant turnover.

It is good to have my hair look even.  It's old, gray, stringy, and long in a messy way until it grows long enough to put up.  But at least the sides and ends are even.  I showered.  But I haven't brushed in a bit.  I am getting a... negative reaction from women.  I... am worried about how I smell.  And, whether it is breath, or clothes, or... what.  I get a good reaction, from a distance, but up close not so much.  I... am going to have to work on it.  I really am going to try to dig down to the matter, though it may just be too much at this point in my life.  Old bachelors become... funky.  It's just the way of it.

Oh, eating that burger today?  Right.  I have been eating far too much liquid lately.  I need to make sure I am eating something solid each day.  That burger hit like a bulldozer, pushing everything from the stomach on down out.  And there was much.  I had to visit two different restrooms and spend a long time in each.  Well, three, if the first was a liquid unload.  Oh my word, I... have to eat solids more often... daily.  Soup and stew might be absolutely fantastic, but they... do very strange things.

I had wondered why liquid wasn't going, was collecting.  I had lowered by consumption, and was taking a water pill.  It was the liquid food.  They say water and more liquid food go to the same place.  And, while they might, they are treated vastly different.  I won't even debate that.  Both kefir and soup act very differently than tea.  There are solids, so it doesn't, can't, just be pulled out and sent to the bladder.  It becomes... softserve.  Ugh.  Clear as a whistle, now.

Tonight?  I am staying ahead of where I was.  The goal tonight is to stretch that lead.  Perhaps another shower, or later after a load of dishes.  But, actually, a couple of loads of dishes and cleaning off the counter.  A wash and another, perhaps with a shower in there somewhere.  The last load of laundry was put over, as a last thing?  Or reset?  I can't quite remember.  Finishing the towels and putting them up would be good.  That will be it for dishes.

I'd also like to get the vacuum cleaner upstairs.  For use tonight, tomorrow, or sometime this week.  Hmm, later this week for sure.  I'll put some baking powder down, let it absorb some odors, before vacuuming.  As well, later this week, I'll reset linens, wash the old and blankets, and be reset for a while.  Perhaps running the steam vacuum up there later this, or next, week.  I think I have one pot of chicken soup.  As well, brats, meat crumble, and a pork roast.  I'm not sure about putting the brats only, or the brats and roast out on the grill?  It works in the oven and the grill.  Yea... I may just grill both.  The ground meats need to be cooked on the stovetop.

Well, the idea is there.  I may only be able to get a bit more done before ending up back in bed, so I ought to push to get dishes in and the counter cleaned.  Still waking though, not quite ready to work yet.  But... getting there.  And in good shape.  Edema went the way of chicken soup and kefir.  Who'd of thunk half a burger would do what the water pill was failing to do!  :p  Later.
