A rather good sleep.

.

Rather cool.  That can be a good thing, if I have the blankets set up correctly.  Otherwise it's a bit of rocking and rolling, minus music.  Trying to keep from any part getting too cold.  Some nights, I can realize the problem, drag my butt out of the nest of covers, reset them, then sleep well.  Last night was not among those nights, so I just suffered.

Still, sleep was good.  Good enough.  Down right at 16:30, after taking care of the last bits and pieces of the day.  Sassy fed, insulin in, water obtained to take the last few pills, a few things upstairs, teeth brushed, and... maybe a few other things.  There is SO much to actually do at bedtime!  I try to get things done a bit earlier, but that doesn't always happen.  Still, last eve, before bed, I... got it all done.

Oh, but I did have the fan a bit higher.  It seemed warm when I was going to bed.  I did crawl out, if only near the end of my sleep, and turn the fan down to low.  That would have been nice much earlier.  But it is what it is.  And I did get some good sleep, just not as good as it could have been.

I turned on my phone, turned off airplane mode, and... there was a message.  My mother is a bit down.  She had been to the funeral of her friend, and... you could tell it.  We make it through their funeral, and up to it, bravely and well.  It's when we go to talk to them again, or... mean to give them something or ask for something that we realize that they aren't there.  And it just... gets us.

I realized, at some point, that part of why I am not as active is because I have had friends who used to work on machines with me, or go shooting, or this or that.  And, when I would think to do something, sometimes their absence would be there.  It is difficult, sometimes.  So, yeah, I get it.  It isn't even that one wears a brave face.  The reality of the loss isn't there until... it is.

It is raining out there, again, and 50 degrees.  Upstairs was 66/67.  Downstairs is 70/70/70.  No, the furnace isn't on.  The ground is still warm enough is all.

Today?  A shower, boxes, perhaps some of the various grains packed in mylar, then into buckets?  Maybe a few other things.  Nothing fancy.  The dark, cool, and wet seems to be slowing me down.  But, I'll get some coffee, after brushing my teeth and letting them rest a bit.  Looking around to blogs and such for a bit, after I brush.  I fed Sassy first thing.  Maybe I didn't feed her last night, as there was half a portion left this morning?  Still she got it.  Well, have a great night, or morning, and/or day.
