Days and nights...

Trying to get them twisted back around.  I pushed with every ounce of what I had to offer, and was able to stay up until about 16:00 last evening.  Not sure when I woke.  I was a zombie, getting out of bed, getting downstairs, tinkering.

Just gaming.  Wait, no, I did make some payments, and placed some orders.  Ugh, trying to keep up on things.  Keeping up on business, but not much else.  Hey, I'll take what I can, when I can.  And, yes, keeping up on business and finances really helps.

It's a rough go.  Elsewise.  Lungs, sometimes, still problematic.  Not as bad as it has been lately.  Blood and bubbles, just not as much.  And, not every day, or all the time.  Just... once every few days, and lighter lately.  All good.

Making it through the game.  At first I wasn't sure I would be able to make it.  They started out with it being extremely difficult.  It took two, or three?, days to get beyond the training stage?  Yea.  It was brutal, ugly, and mean.  And, the next stage, took about the same.  Then it eased up.  You don't get better at these games.  Either they offer an easier space, for a bit, or you just struggle.  That is how these games work.

There is no easy mode.  And, even when they have easy sections, it is only relative.  A momentary distraction, in even the easy(ier) areas, and death will happen.  May happen anyway.  On the good side, I remember some things from the original two games which really helps.  Stab them in the back?  Sure, kick them in the nuts, slit their throat, do what it takes.  War isn't about a fair shake, a fair fight, it's purely about winning.  The only time someone demands a fair fight is when they aren't good at fighting dirty.  I can do both.  If I am forced to fight dirty, you don't have a chance, in game or life.  I'll twist your balls, or titties, off, if you come at me, giving me no choice.  Or I'll walk, your choice.  Trust me, leave me alone or prepare for more pain than you can manage.

I have a roast in the oven.  Just a chuck, with salt, pepper, and garlic... onions sliced very thickly, roasting on top.  I gave it an hour to come to room temp, while salted and else.  Even put the onions on top.  That hour is minimum, but usually enough, to let the flavors meld, the salt wick through, pulling juices and the othe flavors in and around.  Nice.

And, yes, potatoes.  I... am hungry.  Haven't been eating much, or well.  Cheese and salami are wonderful.  But... that's... not right food for weeks.

It got to maybe 49 tonight.  Given that it got to 83 yesterday (the highest I saw it, and stayed that temp for three hours for sure).  Might have gotten hotter later in the day?  I just don't know.  I still have the house open, airing, cooling.  Will close up before too long.  I need to try to stay up until at least 14:00, and get out.  Not sure I will make it much further.  But... I'll, do what I can.

Ciao.  Tchuss.  Later gator.
