A better wake. Up at about six thirty. Waking regularly, and early? I do have the alarms set, one for six, one for eight. Usually making it slightly after the first. Sometimes after the second. Though... once in a great while, I can't get up until... later. Even so, I am usually awake in the morning. Going to bed earlier, by midnight. Why?
Well, back on the carnivore diet? That helps. It's still warm. It was down to 52 this morning, outside. Inside it was 77 upstairs, near me and in the main. No ac yesterday, just a fan up there. It is, or was, 73 in the main, down here, and 74 in this front room. It's 76 now. I may open the front door, let some cool air in before it runs too hot out there.
Blood sugar is better, at 118 fasting. I have been coffee fasting for two days so far, with only one fatted coffee a day? Or... maybe I had two on one of the days? Other than that, just water. So, I have cut medicine. Even the water pill has been cut. And I am drinking less water, down to... three to four cans a day. There is the quart (or two) of coffee, but that... holds fluid? Who knows, really. With this, and that, and that, it's never certain exactly what a mix of compounds really does. Oh, weighed in at 231.8? I think. Bah! Coming back down, but... still... odd. Better than the 240 it had been sticking too, or higher.

On the good side, I am no longer peeing at night. I hate getting up to go, it's just that the options are a horror to my mind. Well, probably only one real option. Drinking less water, not using the water pills, eating just meats, who knows what all is helping. I will add electrolytes to a few cans today. I do need to be careful, with such. Oh... the weight? I have to eat to lose, I... keep forgetting that. Or... eat once in a while. Eat a few days, then not? Trick the metabolism into working, then leaving it to do it's thing?

I am sleeping so much better, lately. I think, with plans, a possible means to those, and... some things tended and working yet? I had thought the world was cooling, but at 77 up there? That's... not cool? No, but it is, was, quite comfortable? Yes, back on carnivore, handling the temperatures, higher ones anyway, is cake. Not sure I will handle the cold as well. But, I can dress for that. Longjohns, wool socks, thick pj bottoms, perhaps an undershirt, and long sleeve sleeper shirt. Oh, and a wool cap... a softer one, not those old scratchy Navy types. When it was cold, that was a good cap though. I only wore it a time or two, at sea. Only went up three times, that I knew about (which means might have been up much more?). I actually got to go topside twice, of those. It was... quite a thing.
I jest about mocking my captain, but... I did respect the man. I also tell tales of the XO and myself butting heads, cautiously but surely on my side. But I had some begrudging respect for him to, even academy man him being. No... I... really didn't think highly of academy men. They were usually more spit, shine, and polish than solid, real. Idealism is for sh*t in the real world. Still, sometimes just the office, suit, chair? If there was a bit more. He wasn't a complete knob. Mostly.
On the good side, my captain absolutely adored the way I flirted with respectful disrespect with the XO. Like a cat knowing just how far the chain holding the dog would stretch. And, giving just a flicker of hope he could get me, only to wisp away right as his teeth clamped down. *grins* Nothing but air, and a... slightly befouled odor, for his efforts. Might as well enjoy life.

Oh! I... had feared Sunday had come and passed. I am just... a bit off. It's been a very busy, nerve-wracking week. I am tried. Not so much physically. If recovering from... all and sundry. Still hoping some things get done, sooner than later. Still have a few nerve-wracking projects, business considerations, and such, to do. This coming week? I... should get to it. As soon as possible. At least begin investigating. A home loan, or other type. Figuring out whether an equity line, or loan on the property, or which would be best. Then hitting it.
To be honest, I am looking for the most, with the lowest monthly payback. If the interest is better, I'll use it to pay off all other debts. Then use the card for supplies, when needed. Keeping the money in an account, even so. So it, itself, can be used to pay off things, until it is used. If too, the goal is to borrow well more than I will use, so some of it will go back. Ugh.
-----
Who ever knows how things will work out. Only... ideas, plans, goals, and looking for the best deal. Nothing is... perfect, easy, without trade-offs. But... I wouldn't have it any other way. Swim or drown, go with the current or against it, and pray whatever the hell else you do. Oh, and get to church you damned heathen! Say a prayer for me, if I got you in the door. You are welcome. :p
