Not three.

.
.
Then again, if barely, I was able to go back to sleep at 22:45.  I woke then, the first time.  And I had to struggle to stay put.  I was still tired, terribly so.  But not sleepy.  I tried to stay in bed, at waking around 01:25 or so.  No dice this time.  It's 01:35, and I have already fed Sassy, cleared her litter boxes, gone to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and obviously have the computer up, connected to the net, and running.

Still a bit tired, but the extra sleep helped.  It sounded like it was raining?  I had to go check.  Yes, raining.  A good thing.  It means, most likely, that it isn't freezing.  Objectively, no, it isn't, at 36.  But, if you were caught out in the rain, at 36?  You'd... be freezing.  But!  The water for the rabbits isn't freezing.

Now, after waking, and getting going, I really need to hit dishes, so I can shower.  Then do a load or two of laundry.  Nothing fancy, just... trying to break out of the breakdown.  I am keeping up on medication.  Well, forgot slow acting... actually any... insulin yesterday.  I can make up on slow acting, by taking it first thing, and then again at bedtime.  So, that has gone forth.  But pill medicines, if still just once a day, has been remembered.  This next Saturday, I'll be back up to twice a day.

I expected some at least mild kick-back from meds, and am receiving it.  No serious pain, though.  Just that extra tired on top of tired on top of sleepy on top of exhausted... if in a softer way that it could be.  I can live well with this, at least in the short term.  If, too, when I double down on it, that will... increase.  It's a painful thing, to drop off, and to go back onto, medicine.  I do my best.  And, yes, that's... as good as it gets.

Blood sugar is remaining right at 225.  But, that is with hit and miss treatment.  As that improves, it will get much better again.

Friday?  I couldn't be sure.  When the "night", or "morning", or 'night' or 'morning', can be split along the midnight, I'm sometimes unsure.  I was thinking it was going on to Thursday, not leaving it.  All good.  I would rather it be Friday.  And, while I can't pay off some bigger bills, I have a few small things to do.  I will have to check a proverbial couch for change, and pockets for bills, to see if I can get a few dollars sorted out, so as to get more low heat pasteurized milk, for the kefir.  It seems to be going, but... I'm running out of easy food for it.  One more week, and I can go back to straight raw milk.  Maybe two weeks.  It has to be strong enough.

I am drinking the kefir it is making.  It isn't making much, or fast, currently.  But enough to get the joy back.  A small cup two or three times a week.  But it is delicious.  If you ever get to where you law straight yogurt, this stuff is like... three times as good, taste-wise, in my opinion.  I can't wait to be getting back to two gallons of the stuff a week again.  Maybe three, in the summer, cutting cream to one?  Maybe.  Seasonal adjustments.

Well... on to waking.  Good night, morning, day.
