Midnight thirty.

Well, that is when I am here, sitting at the machine.  I went to bed around 14:00, I think.  When I push things, memory becomes difficult.  Ah, I attempted to call my mother slightly before bedtime, that was 13:27.  So, yes, probably right at 14:00, maybe slightly after.  I probably meant to go to bed after calling my mother, but my world, and time, these days... slide.  Time isn't what it seems for me, currently.

A wonderful sleep.  Until I get some things back under control, it seems I am peeing a lot through the night.  I had it down to once or none a night.  Now it is three to four times a night.  It's been worse.  And I am not filling a pee jug every night, though every other night seems normal.  Very annoying.  I had that to filling a jug every three to five days, averaging four.  Cleaning pee jugs is just not a fun chore, especially when they pile up quickly.  Bleh.

Oh, the hydrant.  The handle does open and close, but water doesn't flow.  I'll... tinker with it, on a warmer day.  Then again, yesterday wasn't bad, at 30 out there when I checked, in the morning.  But a bit of a breeze.  Still, not too bad.  I just wasn't in shape to tinker, and had to think about what might be wrong.

I may try to pull the head, and extract the rod and plunge stopper.  But, first, I may check to see if the rod is fully attached to the plunge stopper.  That might be the problem.  As well, readjust the stopper depth.  To do the first suggested would require turning the water off.  These last two can be done without messing with the water shutoff.  I am just hoping I don't have to get a backhoe in and dig down again.  No way to hand dig that deep of a hole, really.  That is what equipment is for.  

How did they do it before machinery?  Sons.  Sons was how most hard work was done.  If pops could, he might as well, but mostly sons.  I have some, but... they aren't available.  And, at my age, it would be handed down to grandsons.  And, being what kids are these days, I doubt they have produced.  And if so, they aren't workers.  They want to sell financing in a climate controlled environment, and eat the world in doing so, rather than make or do anything real... assuming they are at all "successful" in this "modern" America.

Blood sugar is still a little high, at 140 fasting.  I will be watching very carefully, everything, going forward.  I am hoping kefir isn't the problem, but have a sinking feeling.  Even double brewed, the stuff may be simply too high in carbs?  It is suggested a cup is between four and eight carbs.  But that shouldn't be a problem.  That is standard, I double brew so would be on the low end of that.  Though, maybe, I haven't measured well?  In any case, I... will get to the bottom of the problem.  Maybe I was eating too much, recently, in all cases?  I just started logging yesterday, so...  And I have been out of sorts, still am.  So, yea, maybe.

I don't know.  I'll try to get things going.  Waterers refilled, maybe another shower, dishes going... after I get those jars washed out.  Though, technically, those ARE dishes, so.  Still, other dishes.  Pots and pans, to get eggs back into the menu system.  And to just have clean things around for general use.  I need more milk, too, to get kefir going.  Ugh, stuck, on that.  But will go with it, at least one more week, to see how it works out.

Oh, found something for a friend.  Not really my sort of games, but he had been wondering.  Not sure if his machine is coming in soon, or what.  But... this might wet his appetite for the machine and what to do with it.  You are welcome, I hope.  Though you probably look on your own.  Still, popped on my radar, I thought to pass it along.  Oh, but the one... Frostpunk... the second or whatever... that...  I am curious about that because if they are coming out with a second one, then the first must have been at least okay.  And I am curious about the first one already, doubly so now.

Friday?  Already?  But, then, I have been, mostly, waking at the very end of a day.  So, really, today is "Thursday" night, regardless what the calendar says.  Being awake two different days, however, is a messy way to live.  But it's what I have for now.  But, I am back to sleeping eight hour shifts, give or take, and am gaining on days, an hour or two closer each day.  And I am beginning to do slightly better.  So... it'll work out.  Later.
