Awake again, if late.

.

.

I have been awake for an hour and an half, or so?  No, more like forty five minutes?  I think the latter.  So since a quarter to twenty hundred.  I am glad I sent the text, about possibly missing mass tonight.  Because, yes, I... had zero chance of waking in time.  And I did try.  It just... didn't matter.  Effort is nice, reality is what it is.

I have been sipping and waking.  Thinking, planning, and even doing a few small things to get ready to... rumble!

Well, maybe not rumble, but it may sound like it.

First, I looked up how to get the bathtub drain assembly out.  Yes, there will be a video for it right after this paragraph.  The tool, though, may not fit?  Will see.  But, something I realized is that the water is stuck in the tub.  It isn't flowing out.  So?  So... I do have a wet/dry vac.  The problem?  I... have never used it for wet applications, and am not sure where the manual is.

This may or may not work.  Something is really problematic with this drain.  It may be too small for the tool.  Though... there is another possible tool.  And... other options.  Once I get further along, I will sort these notions out further.  One thing at a time.

So?  So I went looking.  And, of course, found another video.  Actually had to look through half a dozen to find one that had enough information to be useful.  None of the other suggested whether the filter(s) (I have two, some have one) should be removed.  I... would have, without knowing otherwise.  But... that would have been a guess.  This one, if with problems, does... walk through the whole process, if with a different brand.  I looked up my brand, looked over my machine, and... check.  I think I have it.

But... another thing was bugging me, and actually before all else.  I get close to not peeing at night, then fall back into the pattern again.  It isn't just effort.  Sometimes I can pee as much as a liter at a time.  That isn't just light peeing, or habit, that is need.  So?  While I didn't go looking for it, it appeared in my feed, a video on the topic.

Oh no!  While I don't drink alcohol, I love... need... my coffee or tea. Further, I have been drinking, almost just other than coffee or tea and kefir, carbonated water!  Ugh.  Still, there were so many pieces and bits of advice, I... will be revieiwing this, over the next few weeks and months, in an attempt to get my night peeing under control.

Some of it is absolutely common sense.  And, will take... concentration I can't always offer.  But, between this, that, and a few other things, I might be able to drastically reduce, or maybe eliminate, peeing at night.  It might seem a minor thing, but waking four or five times a night takes a serious toll on being rested.  I need to figure out how to sleep.

Now, that may help with keeping a schedule, but it won't fully fix it.  I really am unwell.  There is a limit to how much I can manage that.  But, this would help, to some degree.  Do what you can.  Live with what you can.  Learn the difference.  I can... help, improve, work on things.  Even if I can never be fully well and regular, in life, again.  So be it.  But I would love to sleep full nights if possible.
