Up around 6:00.

A bit after, actually.  A few minutes after.  All good.  I went to bed a bit before 19:00, so a rather longer sleep.  The work... it wasn't that the work was difficult.  Just that it was later in the day.  All good, was wanting a bit more rest.  Needing a bit more rest.  Couldn't push myself, for my own purposes, to be able to get the extra rest.

Not as sore today.  I wonder if the bit of work helped me break out of the muscle crankiness and skeletal issues?  Maybe.  Was so tired, still, was able to help a bit.  And, on some projects, a little help really is good.  Just moving a half a of stack of two by fours, or giving a hand with other minor items, even hold boards, on one side, while they are being cut... especially working with plywood sized sheets on a worksite table saw.  Not heavy work, mostly, but useful.  Couldn't do it for days, even more than a few hours.  But that wasn't required.

Raining, overcast, and cool.  Not freezing yet, at 36 out there.  Though I doubt if today will warm much.  Who knows though.  The rain is good.  Surprised it isn't yet snowing.  Already had our first batch of that.  Will be getting more, perhaps a lot more, this year.  I just can't tell how the winter will go, but seems like it's going to be cold.  Never can be sure.

I set up medicines today.  Oh, reminds me, I need to take my first dose.  This will be difficult.  It will hurt, in ways you don't understand.  And, while I have already been in a rut, this will be like being in a rut, within a rut, under another rut.  This will be tight, especially as we are going into winter.  Still, it's... gotta happen.  In time, perhaps, a few of those will work themselves out.  Though, with the new medicine in there, maybe not.  

I set up one month with the new medicines, and one with just the old.  If nothing else, in a month, if it all works and is doable, I may well have to change dosages.  So setting up two months is a bit ahead of the game.  Had to cut the new pills in half, and they are tiny!  I broke two of the fourteen into three  pieces, but those were large and whole enough, and otherwise rightly split, that they could still be used.  I keep my pocket knives sharp, which helps.  Still, these things are smaller than any button battery, even the smallest ones for special things, I have seen.  I've made bigger dots, if... large for dots, periods, at the ends of sentences.

I also checked and brought back the recycling.  Either yesterday wasn't recycling, or I missed the truck.  Then again, only two neighbors had recycling out, most didn't.  Which... could go either way.  Sometimes other people make a mistake, either way.  And, not every time does everybody put their recycling out.  Still, I... did my best.  There is enough room for a few more bags, and I only add a bag every few weeks... cat food tins, and mineral water containers, and occasional canned food tins.

As well, I cleaned out my water heater... for coffee and tea.  Even with softened water, run through a reverse osmosis machine, sediment forms.  It was very easy to wipe out, with just a bit of water.  I am avoiding using soap, fearing that will alter the taste for a while.  It cleaned up exceptionally easily.  It looked like it would have been nearly baked on, but it really wasn't.

So, a small start to the day.  But at least one important one.  Perhaps a bit of gaming next.  Maybe a nap, too, before long.  Difficult to stay up with the dreary, cool, wet day as company.  I did finish off the succotash.  Crushed tomatoes was a nice add.  Will remember that from time to time.  Next time I may try diced fried bacon, instead of hamburger.  With that, almost any way can turn out good with just a bit of effort.

It is already nine, but feels like it's still so early.  Then again, I only woke at 6:00 because I thought it was still early morning.  It still feels more like four than nine.  Bleh.  Later.
