Well, another short uptime?

.

.

Not sure when I woke, last time.  But I went down a bit before 14:00.  Now, am up around 22:30.  Won't be up too long.  Just wanted to feed Sassy.  Though, this time, I'll tend her litter boxes.  All fresh, across the board.  I did get her fresh water earlier.  I... fell behind on that, too.  But... we'll... be doing better, now that I am not frozen in chills and fevers and sleeping for days on end.  I had no choice.

Dreamed my house disappeared.  I... woke up in the downstairs bed.  It and a phone, not my original, some odd type, were all that remained.  Clothes, canned foods, all other furnitured... everything... was gone.  No trace there had been a house here.  I didn't, because it was dark, go check to see if there was a hole where the basement had been.

I called my friend, to see if he could stop by, the next day, to see if I was calling from within the dream, or if... it was real.  I never did find out... more about any of it, as I woke about then and that was the that.  Upstairs, in my normal compartment, with the house whole.  Such a strange dream.

Water, to start this episode.  But coffee being made.  Achy, but I think, this time, more from sleeping so long.  The body really isn't made to be in contact with the world for that long.  Same with sitting, but I have gotten used to that.  Mostly.

No food.  That just doesn't sound good.  I brushed my teeth as I woke, and will again before going to bed... because of coffee.  If just plain water, I won't bother, which will be the majority of time going forward.

Oh, and I did the math.  At least this last time?  From 242.0 on the 2nd to 238.6 on the 6th, in four days?  That is 3.4 pounds, divided by four, which is... .9 pounds.  Sounds familiar.  And?  I just stepped on the scale.  Just... to... see?  But, have peed out recently, and often.  So?  236.6.  That's two pounds out.  Crazy.  Mind you, it's... still the 6th.  Two pounds out on and in the same (half even) day.

At first, after stepping on the scale, I thought that is what the weight had been this morning.  So, I was... slightly let down.  Then, when I realized I had lost two pounds?  I was almost horrified, terrified... then excited... and, finally, very happy.  Still, it's... very very strange.  Been sleeping all day.

I'm not even doing this, at this point, to lose weight.  Just to deal with diabetes.  Which is only better, still not quite perfect.  Out of test strips, can't afford more on my own.  Will talk to the VA soon.  Need those.  Doctor wants at least two to three reads a day.  Can't... do it without strips.

It's raining out there.  Earlier, when I checked, was surprised to see it was around 41 F.  Mid to early afternoon, I think.  No, I'm sure.  Almost 13:00 when I checked, if I remember correctly.  That is... really warm for this time of year.  Still plenty of snow down, but it's... going.  Ugh.  Staying clean on the way out though.

Coffee!  Oh, right.  I... have a while.  I don't eat or drink anything but simple water after brushing my teeth.  It's... an old rule.  I have broken it, but only when plans changed, and I really needed food or otherwise would have to wait a long time and with a hunger or growing hunger... or some such.  Always... exceptions.  Later.

Or goodnight.  Might not be back on.  I never know.
