Awake, a bit earlier than hoped.

.

.

A quarter after one.  No real choice.  Some days, when I am awake, that's it.  And, I hate just laying in bed.  Actually, I can't.  If I'm not sleeping, the floor mattresses are just not comfortable.  Painful, actually.  Fair enough.  I would rather have it this way, than to be able to lay about.

Oh, but Doom, you did lay about, for years, decades?  No, no I didn't.  I slept, for years, decades.  I had no more choice then as now.  I couldn't wake, get up.  The health/fitness tracker watch explained it all.  Without medicine, it is as if my body is working out ten times the recommened amount.  It wants 150 minutes of higher intensity body numbers, I was putting out 1500, per week.  More than the weekly recommended per day.

Even on medicine, and doing almost nothing, I am putting out the 150 minutes a week, of high intensity.  So, if I add work to it?  Yeah.  I wasn't sleeping needlessly.  My body is just shot.  Medicine helps, a bit.  But, still, I am doing more high intensity minutes a week than most of you.  And that when doing nothing.  Curious how it will look, this fall (I hoped), as it cools, and as I am (I hoped) able to dig back in to work, efforts, chores.

So, down at... a bit after 18:00, I think.  Up at 1:00, or so.  Not as much sleep as I prefer.  But it will do.  And, I really wanted to sleep until, say, three or four.  Just couldn't do it.  All good.  Blood sugar rose, a bit, at 175 fasting.  But is dropping on average, finally?  Very... strange.

This morning?  I'd like to check the thawed meats.  If good, I'd really like to get the smoker cleaned, burned, and ready.  Then get the things going by sunup.  I need to hit those dishes in there, they keep stacking!  Ugh.  Then get a shower.  As well, start a load of laundry.

I have been doing small things, here and there.  But very small things, very light, very occasional.  As the world cools, I am hoping to catch my breath, begin catching up, and hit things more and more.  Maybe even church before long.  To get my world back, even just a bit, will be nice.  I can dress more warmly, for fall, winter, spring.  But there isn't much I can do with the heat.  And, while I am able to keep my home cooler in the summer, and willing to pay for warmth in the winter, there are limits because of outside realitites, and the "corners" of the house.  

No house has ever been able to escaped those things... save, to a degree, submarines.  The sleeping quarters were 66 to 68, full stop?  Seemed cooler, if... that is one thing I didn't learn, or don't remember.  Cooler.  Good for sleeping.  Needed.  While the engineering section and galley were kept warm, more like a kitchen... with a wood stove.  Warm, to almost hot.  A nuclear plant gives off a lot of energy which can be used to keep the work places infinitely warm.  But, too?  The "corners" were the same as the mains.  Hot, or cool, all around.  Quite an interesting system, really.  Hmm... maybe I should get a nuclear plant!  :p

A bit of gaming, first.  Some coffee, and kefir.  Then, dishes... washed and set aside.  A shower when I can.  The dishes back in for a rinse, or a few another soapy soak.  Then laundry started.  Hopefully, in parts, but all by sunup.  Then to get the grill burned.  I'll get that set up now, actually.  Then game.  Just a bit of coal in there, to burn out.  Then oiling the grill, after "dusting" the burned stuff off.  Smoking works only for bigger cuts, but the open fire grill is good for burgers, from time to time.

Yes, I best get some coals in there, and get them lit.  Just enough to sort it out.  Later.
