Not a great day.

.
.
Not terrible, either.  A few points of business attended.  A few orders placed.  Milk and eggs arrived, and have been stowed.  The only thing I need for pickling some of them are cleaned jars and dill that tastes good.  I bought a pack at the health food store.  Absolutely no flavor.  I'll... see what I can find.  Oh, but I need fresh garlic, onions, and a few other things.  Hmm, should begin a list.

It seems dark.  I had to go take a look.  Nope!  Sunny, if slightly hazy.  It is already to 69.  The record temperature I have seen this spring.  No guarantee of that, but... possibly.  Probably.  And, it's getting warmer yet.  It may well get into the mid 70s.  At least down here in the valley.

I keep learning things, with the phone.  More, as I need something, or figure something out from a vid or just while looking.  I found the timer settings.  I used them, to very good ends, for both coffee and heating up and cooking on the griddle.  As well, I turned on the hourly alarm.  More to just... keep in touch with time as it passes?  No alarm, just a rumbling on my wrist.  As mentioned, I also set up an alarm to wake me up.  It is set for four.  And, it seems to work really well.  So far.  I'll know if it can help me more permanently, in time.

You know?  I may set an alarm to let me know it's nearing bedtime, and one for when it is bedtime?  That... might really help too.  Can't get up if I stay up too late.  Let me see, for four?  I would want to be in bed by 20:00, as a minimum.  But, really, 18:00 is an even better time.  The goal, to be honest, isn't to wake up with the alarm.  It is to wake up before the alarm.  So... yes, 18:00, save on days I really wipe myself out?  Then earlier?  I... don't know.

This watch can't heal me.  But it can allow me to try to heal myself?  I am definitely going to try to make it work, use it.  That is, with all the good things going on, why I pushed it, to buy this thing.  In hope.  To be coming back to life?  Strange.  Even ordered a pair of shoes for doing sprints, on the grass.  Will ask the city, local church, if they mind me doing sprints on the green space.  Not sure which owns it.  They use it for soccer, so it shouldn't be... a major issue for them.  But... have to ask.

I would also like to clean up my garage, and get weights back in the program.  I won't be lifting a lot.  And, to be honest, to start out, I will only be lifting the bar and dumbells, and such, bare of any weight.  Probably just one set, if of, say, twenty or thirty reps... adding small amounts of weight through time.  I'd love to do squats, finally.  But won't do those solo, and without... help, and advise... a trainer... to start.  I can do deadlifts, benches, military, and maybe dumbells, to start.  Just... a bit.

That, and getting to swimming?  Could be good.  To be honest, I am planning on working out twice a week, to start.  Say Monday and Thursday?  And, hitting swimming, weight training, and sprinting all.  But only in smaller bites.  Shoes are on the way.  A book is in the cart.  And swimming gear and pass are already managed.  For now.

I did redo the dishes.  Two of the containers were ready to rinse and dry, so I did that.  One left.  I'll hit it shortly, then get a shower.  I had breakfast, four eggs and bacon.  Not much else.  It has been a slow slog of a tough day?  Sort of.  Still, hoping to do a bit more.

Blood sugar wasn't great this morning.  It was 260 fasting, 289 after my meal and vinegar.  But has improved nicely, for no good reason.  It is down to 182 just now.  Great, but... I don't understand.  Perhaps vinegar has become a problem?  I almost wonder if someone spiked it, with sugar.  I... just have worries that, if people know what I am doing, they might try to wreck it.  I didn't use vinegar, after that first shot.  And blood sugar improved.  Dunno.

Someone seems to be teasing.  A her?  Or an old friend, who... thinks what I say is funny?  Can't be certain.  But... yes... I... enjoyed.

And more?  I think, perhaps.  Physicists are a funny lot, not always in a funny way.  Or... that's what I suspect.  Still, I can't deny the... possibilities, or truths.  If I will, every day, deny the idealism that comes with too much sludge brain bs from the institutions which teach.  They weave indocrination in with the teaching.  

I see his point, but I also see that he... misses the point.  It seems to be about the journey, but it is well and truly about the destination.  

Ah... dishes were done.  I... wandered off, then got lost doing those.  To towel dried and airing anyway.  If I did put the last batch of dishes away.  All very good.
