Some success.

Sleep is rolling day into night, again.  It grew overcast, then snowed, the last few days.  The snow is gone.  It is still dark, again.  Cold too.  That ruffles feathers regarding sleep regularity.

I did not make the call I was hoping to make.  I was not awake enough to attempt it.  Later on I called my mother.  She sounded rather chipper.  We did have a good talk.  Last week she was ill.  I told her to call me in that situation.  If nothing else, I can pray.  Yeah, it helps.  I then called my friend.  Just to check on him, mostly.  As well, I am hoping to get out Friday.  Weather is supposed to break by then.  He knows where to get good local honey.  I would like to get a quart or two and a pint.  They offer several types of honey, valley stuff, a mix of various states' clover honey, and mountain honey.  The valley stuff isn't quite as tasty, or so I hear.  If you have allergies, however, the valley honey offers a type of antidote to that through the processing of local pollen and such.  Or so the tale goes.  My friend is pretty sure it is helping him.  My deal is that I don't suffer from allergies, not even ones which used to be severe.  A wasp sting a year or two ago didn't even give me a minor fit.  He knows where to get it.  Plus, throw in a hike perhaps.  If weather continues to improve, perhaps another hike Sunday.  Yes, I am trying to figure things out.  I can't seem to hit appointments, or exact time windows, but I can, if time is flexible, make it somewhere, eventually.

I have been working on keeping a bit of food in my belly.  I am showering.  I have done minor house cleaning, if not quite enough to keep up really.  Still, slowing the slide has it's benefits.  If I can figure out how to get going I might... never mind.  I'll keep at it.  Just not a housekeeper.  I might hit the bathroom, soon.  The floor, really.  I keep the lou in pretty good shape, and the shower/tub.  And my new trick will help me keep up the rest easier as well.  Yeah, it's worth problem solving.  The thing is, sometimes, even when it is right in front of me, I don't always see there is a problem to solve.  Everyone has that problem though.

Dinner and a nap?  Maybe popcorn, a movie, then a nap?  Something like that.  I am crashing, at an odd time.  Though if I can use that to swing my days around, all the better.  Later.  Or, maybe, good night.  Hmm... perhaps with something to ponder, something(s) coming up, I can focus?  That will guide me to...  Nah.  I think the sudden onset of sleepiness is some sort of major or minor weather change seeping in.  Yeah, later or good night.

Sports?

Well, there is one sport  I truly used to enjoy.  There never was an opportunity to play.  Too old now, but...  Yes, I played football, basketball, and competed in several variations in track and field.  But that just wasn't the same.  Even on a football team that only had enough to field a team and a half, against teams with 50 players.  The difference?  Padding, intent, intensity.  I was a beast, in football, even rarely getting a break.  Four and change averaged q.b. sacks a game, and two to three turnovers.  I ran over the little guys they sent to stop me, and around the fat boys.  Loved it.  Basketball wasn't bad, but it was supposed to be no contact.  A game, like football, but with no padding and basketball but with contact?  In a heartbeat, but only in my dreams at this point.
