Raining, and nowhere close to sunup.

Even when you know fall is upon you, the changes... happen without being noticed, until they are.  Light later, darker earlier, sleepier by the day.  All good.  If you have as many of your ducks in order as is possible, jumping and running isn't as necessary.  Some can't get their ducks in order.  It is easier for them to jump and run.  I... lived that way as long as I could.  When I tried to live like that, after I became able to duck and run?  I went hungry for weeks or months at a time.  I ended up, sometimes, freezing.  Or burning up.  When you can't function well enough to avoid, or figure, you merely suffer.  Good for humility, but... unwise, in my condition.

So... I learned how to be as prepared as possible.  And I try to maintain that.  If it weren't for thieves, I would be in pretty good shape, better shape.  I have... limited their ability to get in and steal.  But not completely eliminated it.  Much tighter, mostly.  Fewer items, not as often, etc.  Remembering to use the latches, as the locks can be bypassed.  Having the windows closed enough that getting in is more difficult.  It seems they, mostly, only enter if there is an easy way in.  They won't, so far, break things to get in.  Though I suspect the upstairs windows are an access point.

There are some limits to how much I can do.  And, I have to leave, which is when they actually can hit.  Almost guaranteed.  But, they are stealing less and smaller portions of what they steal.  Garbage bags, disposable plates if they can find them, food stuffs, insulin.  Yea.

Anyway.  A bit sleepy still.  I did figure out how to... improve some backend things in the game, so I have a better chance to get through.  It's still... difficult.  But it isn't as impossible as it was seeming.  Though the real challenge is next.  The next level is very difficult, I don't have any upgrades, there are half a dozen major confrontations, but... so be it.  I'll slog through.  I may do a bit more prep work, shortly.  But I'll save the actual heavy part for later today, or maybe tomorrow.

Breakfast would be good.  A shower and actually dressing rightly.  I am in a long sleeved tshirt, heavy pj bottoms, socks and shoes, but I would like to put on proper pants, the tshirt is fine, heavier socks, and possibly longjohns.  It is a bit cool.  Getting cold.  All good.

Friday already?  I guess I knew that, I just hadn't thought it out this morning yet.  A week of little done.  But the weather just fell through.  Still looks to have been raining shortly ago, and on and off through the night.  All good.  Sure could use that, for the lawn.  And, really, even if it is cooling things (or possibly warming things, as it had been going?), all the water we can get is worth the price.  Yes, it probably is warming things.  While it seems cool to even cold, it had been getting down to 36.  I think the rain is from warmer areas, just colliding with cold northern air to cause it to drop it's load.

Breakfast, a shower, getting dressed... and I need to find my wallet.  I hate that thing.  I was sure I had it in my pants, but it's not there.  Didn't wear a jacket, last time.  So it wasn't that.  Hmm... oh well.  I will find it.  Later.
