Part of it?

I did stay up to midafternoon, about 15:30, perhaps an half hour later at most.  To bed, well, and slept until... I thought... 20:00.  I thought.  When I got downstairs, turned the machine on, and set at it, with almost nothing else happening before, it is 22:45.  I must have looked at the clock at 20:00, then slept a few hours and change more.  Good.

I had hoped to sleep until, say, 03:00 to 05:00.  But this is a start.  I have been shoving to move my sleep time around, with all I had, and it was doing nothing.  Even doing 24 and a 48 hour up shift did nothing to alter the situation, but did hurt like the dickens.  That's a special kind of pain.  Even the 24 hour ups can be difficult.

Can't always do those.  Only when desperate, which I sort of am.  I have been stuck in nights for too long.  I have learned to at least like the days, and it works with other people better... from calling family, to being informed, to... lots of things.  And, with the stores no longer being 24 hour, even getting to shopping becomes quite difficult.

Still, 15:30ish to 22:30ish is seven hours.  Not perfect, especially after pushing so often, recently.  But it's... something.  And, I am definitely up early enough to get the trash gathered and out.  Not sure about recycling, but I will have it ready, and may check around dawn to see what the neighbors are putting out.  If I am still awake.  Though pushing can create insomnia, where I can't sleep.  That and other stressors.

I never did cook.  Maybe tonight.  I have burger, chicken thighs, eggs, cheese.  The meats need to be cooked, tonight, if they are still good.  If not necessarily eaten.  Meat crumble is fine, for the week.  And, if I bake the chicken, not grill it, that should do well for cold or hot meals in the next few days to week.  Spice doesn't just add flavor, it adds longevity to the food.

I'll check on the critters soon.  Later.
