Mostly gaming.

I was hungry, though.  So I made several cans of veggies, heated them anyway.  Butter, lots of butter.  And some salt.

It's been 73, in the main, and up front here, most of the day.  Finally, in the afternoon, it has warmed up to 75?  It feels so hot.  The warmest it has been in a while?  In the house.  No, it isn't the furnace.  I had to check.  That is set to 70.  It... isn't heating the house at all.  Very... strange.  Between the window being replaced and having the furnace blower on all the time, the world remains better.  If it's hotter outside, it is cooler indoors.  As it cools?  It... is staying warmer.

Though, too, I have acclimated to the low 70s.  To the point 73 seems almost too warm?  Strange, but yes.  I wake, at night, with it being 70 upstairs, and a fan going.  I like that fresh air.  But, I wake so warm.  Not too hot, but comfortable.  A few weeks ago, 70 was bitterly cold, to me.  Definitely a month ago.

Oh, and those liner socks?  For now, those are enough.  I am really liking them.  Not because, or just because, they are warm.  But because they fit.  There is no compression component to them, and they are big enough for my size 15 feet without any squeezing.  So very nice.  I think I will order a few more.  In the winter, with these and wool socks, I shouldn't have any problems.

As well, I'm moving to wool blankets.  Some sheep, some alpaca, some mix.  But real whole wool.  The only blanket I will keep, which is synthetic, is one my mother made for me.  With arthritic fingers, hands generally too, she tied knots, and made the thing.  She may or may not know how much I appreciated that.  She gave from her poverty, she suffered for me.  That earns her things she doesn't yet understand.  I hope, pray, she makes it to where she may access that treasure.

Not much today.  But it has been a pleasant day.  A tuna steak, to be tried, tomorrow some time.  Thawed, needs to be refrigerated.  Hope it's as good as it looks.  I may fry it, then put it on shirataki noodles, with a butter sauce?  Butter and lemon, if the lemon crystals arrive.  Can't wait to try that in my water, too.  Though... I need to check the ingredients and else much more closely.  And... make sure it doesn't bump my blood sugar.

A good, if very simple day.

Oh, I have noticed I can now sleep on my back.  Still not preferred.  It's... a bit exposed, more dangerous.  Better to sleep curled.  Harder to hurt you straight up, or as badly, if attacked while sleeping.  Yes, it's... in my mind, always.  Always, forever.  Watch yourself.  Don't fear, just... understand.  Plus, laying on your side, your are less... recognizable.  And... finding and easier attack point is more difficult generally.

I still war in my sleep, if I don't remember it as often, or have as bad of a sense of things.  I am always at war.  I... try to be as ready as I can be.  I will until I am no more, here or there.  It is not what I am, it is who I am.  I don't mind dying.  Or living.  Or fighting, warring, peacing.  It... isn't up to me.

Later... most likely goodnight.
