A bit late.

.

.

I think it was about 22:20 when I went to bed, I mean was actually tucking in.  It seemed so late though!  I was well and truly done in.  All good.  And I slept clean through to right around 08:30?/  I added a small bit to one of my bottles up there, Maybe a cup?  Strange.  Even this morning, not much was to go.  And it was difficult to get up.  Sassy helped!  So I brushed her rock and roll fur, for her efforts, and fed her right away.  This is very late!

The sun is up to a third mast, but will go on over through the day.  Bright, and out, but it is only up to 61 out there, mostly just under 70 around the house.  The coolest I saw was 66, upstairs in the main.  I did use a fan last night, it was a bit warmer when I went to bed.  Maybe why I slept so heavily?  Went without that for several nights.  It really... pulls the temp down a bit, if it offers much more air to breath.

Feeling slightly rough still today, but nowhere near as bad as yesterday.  Everything aches the same, but more echoes of those initial pains and aches.  Which means it really was from exerting beyond... some measure.  My body was good for it, there was just a price to pay.  Still paying, but not stopping.

With the weed whip definitely going, I am hoping to hit several areas today, then possibly restack wood if I don't like it.  Though it may be well and good as is, I just haven't looked closely, and don't remember.  If it's good, then I can begin bringing over the bigger branches, and processing those down to fit in with the others.  And, actually, I'd like to process the twigs into starter bundles.  I may be sorting out a way to begin using those.  We'll... see.

As well, it would be good to, possibly, stir a bag of premix cement together, and get that into the dip in the driveway.  And, when that dries by next week?  Perhaps tar over it... to seal it as is possible.  That collects water, and ice, and is still a dip.  Makes clearing the road difficult.

I did reset the pots and pans, today, first thing.  I forgot, but will set a timer for a few hours.  If I don't get to them then, I'll reset them when I a more sure I'll get to them in a few hours, then set a timer again.  But, while I do that, I'll also clear off the freezertop.  Which... is actually the running current plan.  The freezertop isn't bad, should take a few moments, it's just I'm not... going to be ready to fuss with dishes in a few hours.  But, today, yes.

And, if I can do anything else?  I'll do a few very minor things on the Xterra.  But later, as it cools in the evening.  The air filter for the engine, and the cab, and praying the permanent, built in, filter, with a foam cleaner.  She's probably never had that.  Not sure it will honestly do anything, but time will well.  And, perhaps, clean her out a bit, so that hitting the boxes tomorrow will see her ready for a next haul to recycling, next time I get to town.

Asked which side is dominant, once, I didn't quite understand the question.  For, being a double breed leaves no... real room for choice?  Ah, but I think I understood it through a dream last night.  Me?  I choose civil.  Civilized.  In the honest way.  So, there is a dominant, I just didn't quite understand the question.  Then again, I was raised to live fair and square, right.  My mother wasn't afraid to punish, and didn't take my side when I did wrong, unless I did so fairly.  I was allowed to defend myself.  If I got punished for it, she didn't add on.  But, she would advice... choosing the when, and where, of my battles so as to exclude... other problems.  Which I learned to do.  I was raised very right.  For a woman, she... did pretty good on her own.  It's just that, as boys become giants, I became out of her league.  Even my brother was no small man, at 5'11".  Women weren't made to tend such large animals, not alone.  So, I'm not even sure it was a choice.  No stealing, no harming people for our own purposes, work hard, try hard, do well, and sometimes realize, for prejudice or being outclassed, you will lose.  If the game is rigged, find a different game (at least where it isn't so blatant).  Don't fight the system, or town hall, if you must just move.  As a high yellow, she could teach me as a breed and my brother as a half Mexican, things no one else could.  They did adopt us, more closely, to one of our own, than they might have imagined.  Funny, for a double breed and a high yellow?  We both have green in our eyes.  Flares when angry.  :)  We are both freaks of freaks, in ways most will never understand.  But have learned to keep that under the skin?  Something.  So, yes, but it wasn't a choice, it was from being raised hard and right, just like... the gooder ones among the gooder ones.

A bit of gaming, a fatter coffee, a few meat sticks... oh... and jerky!  The neighbor made a batch.  I haven't tried it yet, but will.  He isn't happy.  When he told me the ingredients, I.. figured that out quickly.  Apple cider.  He used the best of stuff, but I don't think it works with meats, like this.  I will try it shortly.  I'm... rather tolerant of weird mixes, but I know them when I taste them.  What I use is soy, worcestershire sauce, ground (or better fresh grated) ginger, fresh ground black or white pepper, and either normal pepper flecks for human consumption, or carolina reaper flecks for me.  And I soak it overnight.  He only soaked it for four hours, so that may have helped it not be too strongly strange?  Still, his first run?  All good.  Or... I'll see in a bit.  He used a smoker, which... may be far better than a simpler dehydrator, when he gets the recipe down.  I have to imagine.  I didn't think it would dry well, but looks to have.

Hmm... well... of to the gaming.  Have a great morning and day.  Later.

Had to laugh, at what popped this morning, for vids.  Someone... it's like they can hear, see, what is happening.  And, connect it with the past.  Not sure if it is pure mockery, presented with a dubious doubtful tone, or... whether it is presented straight laced?  Still, I had to laugh.

Six kids born, plus the one lost and the miscarriage, makes eight, that I know of.  Each to a different woman.  It did happen.  After the first, I always ran, though I didn't always even know, right away.  Usually finding out months later.  I was running, because I was doing things, here and there.  Hard to catch, find.

This one is just... mockery?  Or, maybe not.

I did have to chuckle.  Even if it were true, it's... curious.  While I have taken groups on, and many single combat, I don't think it ever works like that.  You go forward into it and handle it as you may.  The older you get, the lower your chances?  Though, I think, with some, it is always rip and tear.  Hate it, sometimes.  But it is what I am good at.  Or... was.  I haven't had it tested in a very long time.  And, mostly, I just sit.  But it is always one my mind.  The only thing that shares space in my mind like that is about women.  A... different kind of combat?  I think so.  *grins*

Had to laugh.
