A bit of a rough night.

.

.

I got to bed a bit earlier, say around 1:30.  Later than I want, like, but earlier by a good bit than that last three to five nights.  Yes, I'm fighting for days.

I woke around four.  Not for good, but with a real problem.  My left arm and leg were absolutely freezing!  Shouldn't have been.  I reset my bed last night, after changing sheets, pillows, and pillow cases.  And added the electric blanket.  Plus, kept one of the windows up there closed, of the two I used to keep open.

Just leaving one window open, for fresh air.  And the door to the downstairs open, to get some warmth up.  A bit of a trick to balance heat and cool with fresh air.  Especially when it can turn frigid out there in a moment.  Still, the temp read 64, which should have been fine.

It was so cold, I initially worried that I had had a stroke.  But, no.  I could move them, and other than the coldness in them, feel them, sense them.  I spent two hours trying to get them warm.  When I woke, for that, they were in the covers.  I don't know why, or how, they would have gotten that cold.  Perhaps they were out of the covers before I woke up?  I pulled them in, but realized they needed more attention, so woke up?

Yes, two hours, off and on, attending to them.  With my leg and foot, I paired it with it's opposite.  Skin to skin, this way, then that, in order to transfer more warmth.  The blanket was putting out heat.  It was warm under the blankets.  The arm I just tucked in closer to my body.  That was a bit frightening.

The alarm was set for eight and ten.  I woke at six, but couldn't get to it.  I burned through the eight alarm snoozes.  Then started burning through the ten alarm snoozes, but put my non-literal foot down at around twenty after.  Waking, sitting up, and just... holding.  Making sure I didn't lay back down, or I wouldn't have gotten up.

I made it on up in about five minutes.  Fed Sassy right away.  Got medicine and electrolytes in.  Then just started dozing at the machine, while also taking a look around.  Not really much going on.  Though... snoozing through browsing is no good way to locate new, interesting, important, data.

Coffee, soon.  A shower sometime today.  I did put the laundry over, and through, last night.  So will check things shortly.  Bits and pieces.  Not fast.  Not much.  But... something.  Each day.

Kefir is brewing again.  I'm going to sort it today.  Hopefully there will be enough new kefir grains to add another quart to the fermenting lineup.  I have two have gallon jars going, will add another there, too.  I like using the oldest first, to allow it more time to second ferment... right in the fridge in a more controlled pace.  Then, shift the second oldest over to fill the oldest, then the newest to the second oldest, and the fresh in the "new brew" jar.

Beside ridding even more carbs, and getting a bit more of that tangy taste, it... gives me something to do.  Some people have goldfish.  I have kefir.  Though... how many people eat their goldfish is probably a whole other thing.  Though, my question?  Why have pets you can't eat?  Hmm... but I do have a cat.  And had two once.  And don't eat them.  But... they... aren't as much fuss?  Well, no, they are.  I guess I'll have to think on things.  No worry, Sassy will not be eaten.  Probably.

Coffee, I need to get that going.  And see where the laundry is, and start that up.  Nearly done though.  Then a shower, set up dishes, and work on the freezertop... pulling meat for the fridge freezer and some to thaw.  Ugh.  Getting some things done, want more done.  Good afternoon, day, and later.
