Oh, finally, awake.

.

Been awake for some time now, to be honest.  I think I woke about three hours ago, roughly around 05:30, give or take a quarter hour.  I... even remember when I went to bed.  It was minutes before 18:00.  I set the alarm for 20:00, hoping I could get up and do a few things.  ...  Not a chance.

Finally, a full night of sleep.  So... wonderful.  So needed.  Less than twelve hours?  Very strange.  It seemed like I slept forever.  I did almost fill a three liter pee jug, while at it, but don't remember most of it.  Not sure why, either.  I have no extra fluid in my feet or ankles, or mostly.  And nothing in my chest, I am almost sure.  Very odd, but... okay.

Then, this morning, I sorted through laundry.  I had a few pairs of socks with burrs, and a pair of pants with burrs.  I had to dig those out and pull all the burrs.  I had sought a clever, or easier, way to pull the burrs.  But there really didn't seem to be a way.

As well, I went through my storage.  I seem to have more tp than I thought, and less facial tissue than I thought.  Okay.  Now I know.  I'll set up another order of facial tissue.  And I have the tp arranged so that I can count it more easily.  As well, I straightened those areas.  Finding cat food as well.  Most of which I had started keeping in another area.

I won't dig today.  Other work outdoors?  Maybe.  I'd like to mow the back yard, knock down those burrs and else.  As well, I would like to drill holes to get the eyebolts up, and maybe set up the hammock, ridgeline, and shade tarp... or soon.  But get it ready to be set up.  As well, after a shower, get dishes set up and laundry going then out.

I suspect that would be as much as I might be able to do today.  Though... I might be able to keep on with the laundry, possibly do a second load, and possibly wash dishes.  I would really like to also break down boxes.  Not sure how much of all that could be done, but I'll... start when possible.  Oh, and watering the lawn tonight.  I had hoped to do so last night, but tonight will do.  I will throw out grass seed while at it.  Though it really doesn't seem to do all that well.  Patients?  Persistence?

Then again, I would like to get the trailer hooked up, then emptied.  I just... I don't think I could do that today.  But I do want to do the next Japanese lesson this afternoon sometime.  Oh, it's only a bit after 08:30, so... I... might be able to get a goodly portion of things done, if I can keep at things, between breaks and studying.

Still, that's a lot of things to do.  And it is high summer.  The nice thing about not digging today, is the ground is dry.  Every time I water, it helps with digging, even picking, the next day.  So, tomorrow, a bit more digging.  Not going all that fast, three to six inches a session, though adding some length and depth too.  Only digging every few days, but... it's... getting there.  And, watering will ease the effort for tomorrow.

Damned good week given it is high summer.  I don't think I have ever been able to do this well in summer.  I have done as well in early summer, and late summer if it cools well, but not high summer.  I have started improving in deep winter.  Not all the time, and I end up choking.  But, I... am doing better.  At this point, however, age and physical condition are limits.  And, altering one is limited by age.  Even when I got to swimming a mile two to three times a week, it didn't help me.  It was always more a drain than ever a help.  It's just the way it is.

Still... I'll... keep at it.  I absolutely love when I am able to do more.  Even if it's just for a few days, or weeks.  I always try to do more.  And, sometimes, I fool everybody and end up doing a lot more.  Until I crash.  I don't even mind crashing these days.  If anything, I miss when I could crash for weeks, even a month or more, at a time.  Medicines, when I can take them, keep that to a limit.  Twelve hours down, at least in the summer, is as far as I can crash.  Later.
