Down late, up relatively early.

It was between five and six when I went down.  Tried to remember.  Quarter to six?  Something.  Went down hard.  Would have been in bed at two, but wanted to get a few things done.  Which... I got a decent chunk of those done.  Sleep is odd, lately, there isn't a pattern, day, night.  Yesterday I stayed awake until around eight thirty, and woke about the same time I woke today, maybe a bit earlier.  I woke around 14:00 today.  I think an half hour earlier yesterday?  May have wrote it, not sure where if so.

The only pain today is in my legs.  I did use the kneepads to do the dishes.  While, at first, it seemed easier, it created stress which shows itself this morning in the form of cramps in the thigh, inner and outer, butt, and groin region.  Still, I think it is better than the back stress from trying to do those in a chair.

I got to it this morning.  Chores, cat litter, and will feed the girls when they decide they are hungry.  Brought in and changed their water.  Turned the laundry over into the dryer, and got that going.  I haven't added another load, don't think I have enough down there.  Hmm, may have a basket upstairs, ready to go.  I even got the trash barrel back, and put into it's spot.

But, I had to take a break.  I rushed myself into exhaustion, or at least a weary tiredness.  I am sure I will get a second, and etc., wind.  The next thing I'd like to sort, beside more clothes to be washed, is dishes put in and a start on the counters.  Which will go hand in hand, as some of what is on the counter is dishes.

It is nearly 80 out there, or is...  So it is rather warm in this front room.  I left the windows open, and fans going, but it remained 69 upstairs all night, or every time I checked... all night, all day, whatever.  It was a comfortable sleep.  Waking a few times.  With the windows open, vehicles sound louder.  Until my mind gets used to that, traffic, singular or as a herd, will tend to wake me.  Probably does even on slower and night traffic.  Something about that one vehicle, on an otherwise quiet night, which just gets you.

Anyway... a start.  I had hoped to be able to get to town, but not today.  Dishes, more laundry, a shower, maybe a shave...  Oh, and meat should be thawed, so something in that area.  Probably chicken, grilled.  I went with thighs this time.  And, maybe, later tonight, if it cools and I am awake, I will start a roast.  I have a chuck thawed, or thawing.  Just enough chicken to eat.  Well, and share with the girls.  The way Sam gnaws on the bones after finishing else, you'd think she was a dog!  Sassy doesn't even seem to like chicken.  

Actually, when it comes to chicken?  Sam reminds me of Gollum.  How odd that mix of names.  The one chicken, to rule them all!  Oh, she is... nuts about my cooked chicken.  And, I swear, as I have improved my recipe and technique?  She is... downright dangerous about it.  She has found a way to make sure, when looking at me, while i eat the chicken, that her eyes have that shimmer cat's eyes get at certain angles.  She does spook me, a bit.

Anyway... up and at things.  Will see what is possible.  Good day.
