Quite a sleep.

.

.

I am pretty sure It was after 16:00 when I went down, I'm thinking 16:20 and change, but it may have been a bit later, or earlier.  If it was different, it was probably later.  It's as good as I can do.  As to waking?  It is 4:29 as I sit.  I was awake earlier, but by an hour or ten minutes I can't say.  I try to get these numbers locked away.  I try to memorize while going to bed or waking.  It... just doesn't work.

A tenish hour sleep?  That is what it sounds like, more or less.  Which is a lot of sleep, on the one hand, but for me, twenty four hours isn't out of the question... days, even weeks, have slipped by with me mostly asleep... just waking for water or to go to the bathroom.  If that was mostly in the past.  Still, a twelve even fourteen hour sleep isn't unheard of in more recent times.  So, on the one hand, ten hours isn't too awfully terrible.  It is, though, of recent times, longer than usual.  Six to eight is more common anymore, if my waking cycles are what are usually very off.

However, given  that I am sleeping so often each day, in two to eight hour sets, this is a very long sleep.  I am having two to four sleep cycles a day of later.  I try to wake, when I wake to go to the bathroom or because Sassy or Sam wants attention.  It just doesn't work until I can wake.  Sassy attempts to bother me about every two hours.  If I really need sleep, I have to close the door to keep her out.  The dark and cold, loss of acclimation to the cold... but that heavy dark will get me if it seems to go on too long.

I am hoping to get a shower, shave, and dishes done before crashing again.  I will pull the waterers, which wasn't done last night. It was too early, besides I crashed far too hard.  I'll grab a bucket of water, to refill those when they thaw, as well.  Oh, and exchange the girls' water.  They have been particularly clean.  It makes me suspect Sam fell in, and then will more reasonably help Sassy by sharing licks.  Otherwise she is mean, and stingy, about it.  Queens are... different, difficult, etc.  If queen often means mother.  She is definitely the queen of this home.  But, when she is all wet, she changes her tune.  :p

I have some minor aches and pains for the first time in a while?  Very mild.  I don't quite understand what causes those.  It can't be excessive sleep?  Though, maybe too much sleep all at one time?  It might be part of it.  Sleeping in the wrong position for too long?  Or just from my general medical problems?  I can't tell you.  Stiff neck, slight headache from that, upper shoulders are more sore than stiff, ribs have a creak in them.  All light in severity, this time, but can be pretty terrible, nearly to nausea.  

Well, on to looking around the net, contemplating my trek to work and other efforts, and some kefir to start the morning.  I've been cutting back on that.  I may go to three gallons of milk a week, plus the heavy cream.  I am trying to get back on keto, but... well... I'll get there.  Oh, I did download the food tracking app.  I'll begin using it today.  As before, when starting the first time, I won't worry about anything.  I will plug in my goals, I will honestly track my food, but I won't initially try to live absolutely within that.  I want to see where I am, what I can change, and begin moving my diet back to it.

As I remember, I lost some serious weight quickly... and at that time I was on diuretics full time, so... it wasn't water weight loss.  It does work, if you will, can, stay on it.  It is a long way back from fat though.  And, it... I'll still have the excess skin.  I will probably be less attractive than I already am.  It's just reality.  It isn't being done to improve... certain chances.  It will merely be done to be slightly, perhaps, healthier... maybe to begin filling out life, becoming more active, or at least not being crushed by poor health?  Something.

Later.
