Up at four?

.

.

Well, that is when I fully awoke and started moving.  It took... a while to get out of bed in truth.  I was awake, just not moving fast.  Here, it is ten to five.  Tinkled, checked the outside temp (32 I think, or 31).  I left the upstairs open, but closed up here downstairs and turned the furnace on.  It looks like, if I keep the door to the upstairs closed, it doesn't get so cold.  Though, the night I left it open, we were getting whipping high winds and gusts even higher.

Sassy was fed, her litter cleared... which she... promptly refilled, a bit.  All good.  The kettle has been set to heat.  Kefir is going down, and vinegar tonic has been made and is at th ready.  I did a blood sugar read.  It is 250.  I... messed up.  But it is coming back down.  Not sure if compression socks play a part, but I am guessing they may well.  I'll find out through time.

I needed a day off from them, and took it yesterday.  They... can be harsh to wear.  And I have worn them for a week straight, or thereabouts.  On the good side, they didn't fill right back up with water.  They look fine this morning.  Far better than usual.  I am thinking I will need to wear these most of the week, and possibly for now on.  But I will take a break, from time to time, even if it upsets blood sugar a bit.  I have to.

The watch...  My bp does reduce, well, through the night.  It did record oxygen, though I don't... know what I am looking at, by the chart.  And, the alarm?  Was... very good.  It starts out with a bit of light.  About a minute before the alarm goes off, a light comes on.  Bright enough to easily see, but back sort of between the wrist and skin.  It pours out.  Then, perhaps, hums (buzzes, vibrates) and makes a light sound, initially.

It looks like there is a way to shut it off, and a way to snooze.  I don't want to snooze.  If I can never hit snooze again, I won't.  I really like this alarm.  I am going to try to use it, to regain my days and nights, and in their proper order.  No promises, only that... it... could happen.

Something has changed.  I don't know what it is.  Might be short term.  But, as a true capitalist, I do intend to take these crumbs and try to turn them into something more.  One step, one morning, one job, task, chore, mass attendance, at a time.  As much as I would like to have quit, like a whipped dog on a leash which hadn't surrendered hope, when the opportunity arrives, I will be gone.

Where or go, or what I do, can be considered at another time.  For now, I am unleashed, and I run.  Or... crawl, in some cases.  I'll... find out more, in time.

Today?  Dishes will be the first thing I hit.  Then some work on the pipe.  If I can't find my farmers jack, I may try the garage floor jack, and a 2x4 or such.  Just get it wedged, and lifted.  Should do to get the patch on more rightly, then get the bands set up to hold the pipes in places for a downangle.  I'll put another set up further back, aside from the one right near the patch.  Then begin laundry for swimming.  Well, and see if the swimming ipod music device still works... charging it and checking the earbuds.  It's wired, but bluetooth doesn't work under water.

Breakfast, at some point.  A few eggs, sauasage, and coffee.  I need to get something else for with eggs.  Eggs are fine.  They are working.  Can get a bit boring, but now that I am cooking them well and easily they go down a lot better.  I need more tobasco sauce.  Hot pepper flecks are okay, but the sauce... is nice.  Not every time, usually only with omelets, or corned beef hash.

Life is truly improved.  I have no idea what has changed.  It wasn't... my doing.  I wish, but I have been living as well as possible for a very long time... to no improvement.  No... something else has happened.  Schedule, so far, is still shifting.  So I don't know if I can fix that.  But am attempting even that.  But, the life in the shifting schedul is... vastly improved.  Check.
