Another hour along.

I push for staying in bed longer.  It just isn't possible.  I had to push past 22:30, then 0:30, to get to 1:30 as it was.  I did stay awake until 16:00.  If more from a minor bout with insomnia than from any skill, or effort, or even luck.  I was... too tired to get up and go to bad, so sat and stared at the screen while I monkeyhammered the keyboard.

Got all medicine in, for sure, yesterday.  And I think the two days before it?  Probably.  I'll try to keep it up.  Taking full dose, as prescribed.  Will for a while.  But if I remain crimpled by it still, in a week or two, I'll lower carvedilol.  That shit is harsh.  Ignore the clown in the medical gear.  Trust the one who is taking the junk.

I will be taking a shower shortly.  Maybe getting trash and recycling out to the bins first.  Bins out?  Trash.  I'll hold on recycling unless I see others.  If then.  Only two sacks of that to go, and the barrel holds... six bags?  So, not rush on that.  And it's getting below 40 or lower at night, and the warmest I saw it yesterday was 67.  So the stuff doesn't stink horribly, as it might in high summer.

I did check with my phone carrier.  I can get one of several plans for calling the Philippines (and Argentina).  For the Philippines, $10 will get sixty minutes, from here to there, doubt if the reverse.  Argentine offers a hundred twenty minutes for the same price.  Though, they have other plans, for fifteen to thirty nine sense a minute, depending on the plan.  Otherwise it is $2.39 a minute, or so.  Well, yes, there is that.

I received the number for a fellow there.  A Navy vet.  I could just get on a program, or two.  For just this month.  Not sure how long of a call to plan.  These kind of talks could take a while.  Perhaps over several days, through the runup to a visit.  And, that is exactly what it will be, a visit.  The first shot.  Looking for a wife, mostly.  Though, with potential for visits... during the rainy season when it is... more tolerable.  Though who ever knows.  

Travel to and from there to Argentina would be... a massive undertaking.  If there is a way by ship, that would be better?  Longer, more expensive (versus coach, is it, but probably comparable to business, less than 1st class).  And, really, if I only travel once every few years, I'd rather save scratch and go 1st class or business, if flying.  But for two, more?  Ugh.

Yes, thinking on things.  Planning, wondering, hoping.  Life is tricky.  Started saving.  Eye surgery would be at least $4k per.  A bike would be right around $7k to $10k, if I should be able to get some of that back on sale... thus the protective devices on the bike.  Learn to fall while learning to ride.  Or you'll find yourself in uncontrolled situations.  Without a paddle?  Bam!

Oh!  I bet some of the meat is thawed!  I had hoped to have some fresh eggs and corned beef hash before bedtime, just couldn't do her.  And, want something more meaty for food when I eat next.  Been a while!  Ugh.  Still, eggs and hash later.  Should be easier on my system as I begin to eat again.  Two meat meals in a row is tight when it's been... days.  Hungry!

That'll be my treat for trash.  After this, and some looking, I'll see if a ny strip is ready.  If not, a thin cut ribeye should certainly be.  Salt and pepper, give an hour to meld.  Garlic powder too, this time.  Yea.  Then get trash out, recycling, and a shower.  Then... chow!  Later, baby.
