A bit surprised.

It is 11:32 and I am still awake.  I don't feel the want, or need, to sleep.  Perfect?  No, but good, good enough.  The pains and aches that exist are mild.  No true exhaustion is present, if just a bit... mildly... sleepy.  More like what I once considered a typical mid to late afternoon, or early evening.

A time of relaxation.  Though, with capacity to do things, if needed.  Just... not a preference for such.  In part it is because I turned the furnace up.

It had been 35 outside, when I checked shortly after five.  The last time I checked, perhaps an hour ago at most, it was up to 45.  Not exactly warm, but not cold.  Cool, really.  The thermostat is set at 74.  I left it at that overnight, as it was too cold yesterday, indoors, without the furnace on.  But, tonight, I'll shut it off again.

The goal is to do days.  One of the things that will help me be awake during days is if it is warm enough to be awake, and cool enough to sleep.  It's a bit of a trick at times.  I keep aiming at it, and attempting to get the timing right.  I'll keep at it.

A shower, shortly.  Love showers.  I'll have to redo bandages after, which is fine.  The bruise on my hip is really going down.  Though, getting compression going, in various levels, from time to time, is helping simply by helping void all the extra fluids, plus compressing the bump itself.  Not perfect, but I'm... getting there.

I might try to eat more chicken.  Or... not.  I just... don't know.  So hungry, and yet not at all interested in eating.  It's an odd mixture of impulses and such.  I had coffee, this morning, after not having any for days.  A smaller one.  I doubt if I will have coffee daily, hereon in to summer and through to next fall.  I just can't tolerate it well these days.  Probably the same with food, mostly.  I am only trying to eat more, today, in order to do a few things.  Not sure it will work, will find out.

Yeah... really?  A pretty good day so far.  Hoping to make it to early to later afternoon.  Maybe early evening.  No later, if possible.  Sometimes I just can't figure out why, or how, things work out so poorly, or so well.  I'll take what I get, and do my best with it.  Amen.  Later.
