Up already?

.

.

Down at midnight.  Right at.  Awake at 7:15, if I didn't actually get out of bed until 08:07 or so.  I wasn't sure I wanted to wake.  I'm not sure I had a choice?  The place is warm.  It was 75 near the bed, 72 out in the room.  I think I was having dreams, or seemed to be if I don't remember them.  My dreams heat the place up like nothing else.  Then again, it's morning, and that is the sunward side.  Could have just been that.

I thought about staying up, and getting to work up there.  But I just wasn't up for it quite yet.  It has been a wonderful week, for work, given my givens.  But it is Sunday.  Dang it!  I missed confession again.  I may see about making an appointment, seeing about getting in at a different time?  There is the old, that needs clarification, including suicides, and there is the ongoing.

It is between 74 and 75 downstairs, cooler in the front room for now.  And, I thought it read 73 outside, at the 08:30 time.  A cup of coffee going down.  A shower last night makes waking better.  I won't work hard today, so I may skip showering today, or not.  I am really enjoying those.

I have been eating lightly... on the days I do eat.  Some days it's just coffee.  Haven't lost a pound, but am losing belly size... a bit.  It isn't exactly just melting off.  More just changing form.  A bit more muscle replaces fat, I think.  Not at any speed, but... it is what it is.  If I could keep this going for a few years...  Most likely not going to happen.  But, all this week, I have worked to the point of breaking a sweat, several times a day, for for much of the day on some days.  That's what I want to see.  Just couldn't until recently.

A bit tired, sore.  But not terribly.  Shoulders are still a bit cranky.  I'm not sure what I did to them, or what is wrong.  All I know is raising them, like making an arm "wing", crooked in, and lifting them, they hurt, and there is a catch.  If I go slow I can make it up.  If I move fast, they will stick about two thirds the way up, and create a wrinkle in there that hurts like heck.  Hmm, elbow crawl motions seems to work that.  I might try those from time to time...  and it brings the arms up at an angle, so I can get past that kink in it.

Today?  As mentioned, not much.  But, getting trash and possibly recycling to the curb, washing the freezer top off, then starting in on dishes.  At least the load that is set, maybe another if I can get through those.  And... upstairs.  Anything I can do up there will be happy.  The ac is running, so it should be doable.  Maybe a nap.  I'd really like to push through up there, get it cleared, vacuumed, and sprinkle baking soda and diatomaceous earth... let those soak in for a few days.

If I can get that sorted, at least to the point of the powdering, and the table cleared and new one set up?  Then I can set up the sewing machine, for one thing, and begin practicing.  And, then, begin in this front room.  Taking it apart, clearing and cleaning down to the floor.  Oh, and another thing, possibly for the day?  Setting up the swamp cooler.  Just have it on the porch, blowing in?  Maybe.  With the way the house breathes, and that blowing moistened air in, it might really help this front room.  Which is hitting 90, as things stand.  Too hot.

Plans, hopes, goals.  But... I have been getting to some things pretty much every day.  And I have been tolerating the heat, as well, and going on through.  God is giving me a chance, and I am running with it.  Oh, chores?  Did I mention chores?  Actually, I'll do those before I finish my coffee.  Later.
