Awake?

.

.

I woke at about 1:30?  Give or take.  It was 70, upstairs, in both places I measure.  With the ac going and both fans on.  I... must have been really tired, I usually turn one of the fans off while going to bed.  Downstairs it was 72/74, warmer up front.  So I openeded things up, and turned on, or up, fans.

I truly planned to just open things up, write a short post, and go on to bed.  But between a bm brewing now, and just not quite being able to get right back to bed, that won't happen.  a bit of gaming, I suppose.  As I try to find my way back to a time when... place... where I can sleep again.

Life is going a bit more smoothly.  Breathing is still a bit of a difficult thing.  In part because I keep blocking up... phlegm buildup.  In part because fluid is still backing up into my lungs.  There are other... problems.  But, my lungs are, slowly, two steps forward one back, getting better.

As well, the heart doesn't feel so tired, every day, every moment.  Just, from time to time.  And my torso is slowly but steadily getting away from that terribly bruised, battered feeling.  That pain is the only one that is a step by step process, with no falling back.  Odd, but okay.

Oh, and I can sleep well.  I do sleep well.  Why wake up then?  Because I want to, it is a hoped and planned thing.  It may not work every night, or always, but so far, as the world heats up, I have found that opening up too early isn't a good thing (say at bedtime, when it might still be in the high 70s, and in time the 80s or 90s).  That just never works well.  But, if I open up well after it has dropped into the 60s?  Then the house cuts me some slack.

Between acclimatizing, tending windows and other openings, and fans, I can manage the house temps to some degree.  Some very solid degree.  Amazed it is getting down to 70 upstairs.  Oh, but I think I will change to the other ac unit, and put it on a timer.  Just it going off might wake me, or the slow warming after will.

Getting back to sleep is tricky.  But that has been going fairly well lately.  With the game, I can just run old areas, building up in game "coin" used for items and advancement.  I can't go far, or get much, but... I am getting somewhere.  Collecting some items, currently, which make gameplay a lot easier.  I would say what, but thes jackwagons would simply nerf my minor tricks.  So I don't mention.

A bit of coffee?  Sure.  Strangely, that helps me get back to sleep better than most things which are suggested.  Plus, caffeine is less... problematic than most sleeping helpers, even the so-called benign ones.  Don't... get addicted!  There is coffee, but I don't think it is nearly as addictive.  I sometimes go days without it.  Just... forget.

On to a bit of gaming, some coffee, and then to bed.  Maybe just a bit of cheese to nibble, while coffee goes down.  Aged gouda, tonight.
