Been awake for a while.

I forgot to unlock the front door.  Padlocks.  Wanted to look out, see what was happening.  Then I remembered the recycling, and got it to the curb.  Not enough trash to even gather, let alone take to the barrel.  So that just wasn't needed.  But recycling was a bit more than half full.  Good enough.

The front sidewalk wasn't scooped, so I happily got to that.  It is so much easier, when it is a length.  And the snow is light.  All good.  And, I like to be out there, sometimes.  While the thermometer reads 24, there is a solid, cold, breeze coming through.  It definitely isn't 24.  Still, it isn't negative ten, or such, either.  More like ten?  Maybe zero, F.  Wouldn't want to get locked out in it, but can handle ten to twenty without too much issue.  I'm an Iowa boy.  Old, but... still a boy.  *squirrel!*

Turned over kefir.  That's... almost a hobby.  Having to eat nearly two quarts to keep up.  May try to back it off, just a bit.  I have three ways of slowing the fermentation process.  Lowering temperature in the house, adding fewer kefir grains (probably more "less", as it is more a vague volume thing, than a number of them, but it sounds better given how it is phrased... as if you could count the grains).  I do enjoy doing it, and it provides much of my daily food.  I may be cutting back on cream though.  We'll see.

I went to bed at right at 16:00 yesterday.  Given that I had so little sleep, that wasn't bad.  I woke at around a quarter to three?  Right, I think so.  Or three thirty, I just can't be certain.  It is almost eight already.  Crazy.  I hope I didn't miss recycling though.  Hard to know.  They can be by rather early.  Depends on the week, the cycle, and all.  I'll know before long.

Wow, the sun is just coming up.  Cloudy, so there isn't a lot of sun.  I guess I forget how late the sun is to rise in mid winter.  Then again, I often sleep through this part of winter.  And, even if not, I don't remember much of it.  Sleep or winter fog of mind, keep memory from sticking.  Still, enjoy it.  Definitely enjoy winter more than summer.  If I am learning how to enjoy more of that too.

They keep bring up old music.  I would have thought watching the other one by her would have pulled this up, but they popped at the same time.  Of course, and as usual, I have to add my part to it.  Question, doubt, or not, but I'm telling you... I don't have time for fools.  Don't suffer them.  While I may not be human, in some instances, I am more human than human.  Very much so in certain instances.  Don't... try to lie to me, and make it be real, true, good, or beautiful... when it isn't.

All good.  I do enjoy the... debate?  I wouldn't call it an actual debate.  They know better.  And I know betterer.  Chuckling through my growls.  If you wish to negotiate truth which is false, do it with someone who doesn't understand.  That isn't me.  More and different old tunes keep stacking up.  Only putting a few through at a time.  Later.
