A very long nap.

.

.

No real idea when I went down?  I thought, maybe, around 15:30.  But that would have been the absolute latest.  Had been thinking of just a nap.  No coffee today, and... else.  I may not have done much lately.  But I have had several appointments and engagements, which I have been keeping up on.  Up here at about 19:30.

It is down to 73 outside?  Already?  A storm moved in.  Or... is... teasing.  Cloud cover, if lighter of nature.  Could still gather to a rain, or not.  A bit early in the year for that, but this is a cooler year, so given the category of the year, not completely out of character for it.

Blood sugar is up to 137?  Not from food.  Water shouldn't have any effect?  It does have flavoring.  But I did sort of realize it was going up, in the afternoon, by the clock not by my sleep patterns.  I may check much later in the evening... twenty three hundred, or midnight, as I hope to go to sleep.  See if it does come down.  One more day of fasting.  Can't run three days, as I need to break the fast in time to have my legs for the next day.  Ugh.

What I stretching my sleep and wakefulness?  The temperatures.  With it being 72 to 75 upstairs, I am sleeping like a baby.  But, with it being pleasantly warm (for sitting, not working) of 76 to more like 78 to 82 in this front room, life is really easy to just... coast through life.  So, I end up sleeping long AND staying awake for longer stretches.  If... not doing a lot while awake.

I am hoping to... catch my breath, and... figure a way to get to more.  I still need to level the dishwasher, get it encased, clear branches from the roof, tinker on the r.o. water filtering system (a leak there too, after changing the filters), and do some more cleaning and straightening in the living room and in the spare room... and kitchen... and bathroom... for now.  Ugh.

I just had to catch my breath after that first major push.  And, while I was handling the heat, it finally caught up to me and slowed me down.  Now I am just... sorting life as I try to figure things out on so many fronts.  But... I'll get there.  Hopefully before it begins cooling.  Then?  Then I will have to acclimate to the cooler weather.  If that is slightly easier, since you can layer clothes easier than adjusting for heat.

Life is slightly improving.  I am getting healthier.  Though darkness still knocks the socks of me a bit.  Nothing I can do for that.  Did try light therapy.  It's a gimmick, or for me.  Doesn't work.  Nothing works, save when sunshine comes back around.  And finding a way to get out into it, even if it is cold.  Just... the God smile thing, from that, is the only thing that helps.  If the cold doesn't crush it.

Some people were made to live longer?  Even in pain, darkness, misery?  I think so.  It doesn't make sense.  But I'll, finally, accept the gift, and keep going.  As is God's will.  Would rather learn to kneel, here and now, than too late after for it to make a difference.  I have gone back and forth on that passage.  But, finally, know.  And... kneel.  Gladly, actually.  Not with pride?  A sort of pride, but not in me.  In gratitude to the Trinity Who taught even one so, in truth, humble.  I have worldly claims to pride, but realize that is a death trap.  The world... isn't what it seems.  Like gold, that glitters.  Just ask Midas.

On to... looking around.  And medicine.  Took morning meds already.  Oh, no coffee, so with water, and maybe another dose of electrolytes.  I won't always do two doses of electrolytes when fasting.  It's just that I am a bit parched.  So, today, and maybe tomorrow, extra.  That stuff really does some good, extra when fasting though too.  Later.
