Down very late, up very early.

.

Well, considering when I went to bed, the wakeup time was very early.  Down at right around four, up at nine.  A bit before, in both cases, but close enough.  In part because I though I had seen something was to be in today.  Well... it said tomorrow, but... isn't today tomorrow?  Apparently not!

Tomorrow, in this case, means the next tomorrow, or... tomorrow today.  I must have looked after midnight, without taking the new day into account.  So... fine.  I am up.  And, perhaps, can figure out how to get back to waking earlier.  Or... not.  No... it wasn't the alarms.  I turned those off, the last few days.  I couldn't fight through them to wakefulness, so just... let it go.

About that time.

Fairly warm up in this front room.  At 84.  It remains cooler in the main room, say 76.  Cooler yet in the kitchen.  I'll bet upstairs is a bit warm yet too.  It is down to 72 outside.  Not bad, given that it was up to 96 to 98 today?  Something like that.  Could be worse, may get worst.  Not completely unusual.  And, yet, probably a bit warmer than nominal?  Something like that.

I am... comfortable, all in all.  A bit tired.  If I did do a pretty good lot of work, on some rather warm days, inside and out.  So, sure.  Given the givens I am doing very well.  I'll just need to rest until I can get back to things.

Down around one.

Up around four.  I just couldn't sleep longer.  I waited a few hours before finally having a fatted coffee.  I was hoping I could get back to bed, even for a few hours.  Not a chance.  So, finally, I got coffee water heating, and got going on that.  Then brushed my teeth.

I've been hitting the teeth twice daily, now, for a while.  Sometimes I just can't get to it.  Having a dental appointment coming up in a month or two sort of tickles the impulse.  I hate bad news.  And, yes, my teeth clean up well.  With coffee and/or tea as a one or twice daily, they won't ever be white.  Then again, I think back to the first product I have heard about for whitening teeth.  Urine.  The Romans used (at least just their own, to my knowledge) urine, as a gargle, to whiten their teeth.  Some acid or other in it?  Uric?  Something.

Almost made it to midnight.

.

I think it was 11:43.  That's as long as I could stay down.  I woke a bit before, turned on the space heater, gave it five or six minutes.  Wanted to give it more, just couldn't stay down any longer.  That did take the crisp out of the air.  Nice.  Didn't warm it to any great extent, just... eased the cold from bed to my dressing bench.

Sassy came up.  Would have napped a while with me, but I just couldn't sleep more.  A rough morning, a bit.  Achy neck.  Sleep wrong?  Or... something else?  Not terrible, just enough.  And a bit of a headache.  I'll check bp this morning, some time.  Blood sugar is 129 fasting.  Okay.  Not great, but I've definitely had worse.

Are you a believer?

Which... set of beliefs do you put your faith in, is the real question.  If you... don't know, in the secular plain, perhaps you would like to see a few possibilities?

Hmm, well?

Still awake at nearing eight?  Trying to push on around.  If that is possible.  Warmth helps.  Last night, at nearly midnight, it was still 50 outside.  This morning it is only 44 (which is... comparatively to recent temps, quite warm).  It is probably only that cool because it is sprinkling.  Did it rain?  Or has it just been, more just begun, sprinkling?  I would guess the latter.  There just isn't a lot of moisture out there.

I did get out for food.  Had to eat something.  Not the best, but food, sometimes, is food.  And, sometimes, any food would do.  Any... food.
