Up at twenty two after midnight.

I attempted to sleep more.  Actually, my body was trying to wake up by 21:00.  I did well to make it as late as I did.  While I was awake until 17:00, my body is used to going to bed at nine, at the latest, and pushing it even then.  So, it... wants to wake up in a more normal time.  Pushing one way, then the other.  But... okay.  There is hope I can push back into days, and with an easier life, keep to days again... for a while... until the heat becomes excessive.

Though, perhaps, I can get a window installed, and a bigger ac unit in that window, in the spare bedroom, and use that for the downstais.  With one upstairs.  So that I can... live in some semblance of comfort.  Maybe.  We'll see.  I'd have to buy the window, then get it installed.  Well, after pulling the old window.  Ugh.  I might be able to do the latter, but the installation I would minimally need help with.  As to buying, of course that is on me.  Would be a good thing, that old window is a serious heat and cooling leak.  Might consider a hood for that window, too?  Money, money, money.  Maybe not.  But the window, and an ac for it... a big one... yes.

Oh, right.  I did get the tub cleaned, mostly.  And a shower after.  Fanstastic!  Love that.  I may get another shower in sometime today.  And, perhaps, work on the tub a bit more.  No laundry until the replacement parts arrive, and are installed, but that is good.  I can get to dishes, and another shower before that.  All good.

It seemed colder, when coming down.  I had the furnace at 68, but it was colder yet.  So I turned it up.  Later, it... still seemed cold, so I added a few more degrees.  Usually it kicks right in when pushing it up.  Had it the first time?  It sure wasn't this time.  Hmm...

Then I remembered I had looked at the filter, in the furnace.  Have to shut the furnace off when doing that.  Didn't turn the furnace back on.  I went downstairs.  While down there, I grabbed the flashlight to check the water.  I have a container down there, to catch water from when opening the patch.  I wanted to see if water had flowed back from the long shower I took.  Just... to make sure.  Nope, it all went out, or so much of it that any backflow would be neglible.  I looked at other places to see if anything was leaking or such.  Nope, all good.  

Then I completely forgot what I had really gone down there for.  I... was sure there was something else.  I just couldn't remember.  So, I came back up, all the time knowing there was something else I was supposed to do.  As I was sitting here, freezing, I kept...  Ah!  The furnace.  It is back on and all is good in this morning.

I have been thinking.  I may pull some money, from here and there, and pay off some debt.  It has been accumulating, as have the good side to the balance.  I don't want to completely empty everything, but I do want to shut some things down.  Or get closer.  Plus, that opens up some things for other plans.  Ugh.  I'll do that after payday.

Balancing, juggling, working, losing weight, eating better, learning to cook on the griddle, so many new and old things going on.  So many plans coming into play.  Life is confusing.  I am feeling better, mostly.  But worse, in some ways.  Life is difficult for me, but improving in odd ways.

Oh, and swimming.  But, I have to wash my swim gear.  Trunks, towels just for that, and such.  I am hoping to get in the pool this week.  Maybe just keep it at twice a week?  As well, I am serioulsy thinking about getting back to weights.  Just here at the house, at least until I can do more serious weights... then maybe see about the gym at the U, or elsewhere.

And, this month, if it warms, I'd like to take out my front seats and clean the Xterra down to the brass nubs.  Clean, vacuum, stain removal, wet vacuuming after scrubbing the inside, the works.  We'll see.  This week, next month, the month after... soon.  I want that filthy girl squeaky!

Something to eat?  Today?  I ought to see if the pork is still good.  It has been marinading for a long time.  Forgot about it.  Doubt it could be still good, but perhaps marinades... preserve?  Will find out.  Just hoping I don't get a snoutfull of horrid odors.  On to... something.
