I am feeling a lot better today. There is a potential headache in the background. I will take aspirin today. I am just about awake too. I am not sure what will get done though I know I do not want to just sit. I am soaking dishes and will then pull some meats out of the freezer. After dishes are done, I will probably do some cooking. Though I would like to cook rice and more beans, with heat as it has been, I doubt if I will make more than some grains for "breakfast". I may take a drive into town to get some groceries as much for a few nutritional adds as to get out of the house.
Being Sunday, though I would love to finish the last pile of dirt and do some weed whipping I will not. Not only for my sentiments but because of the sentiments of my neighbors. Sure, I would pull my ass out of a hole, should it fall in on a Sunday, but weed whipping and shoveling can be done tomorrow. I am not quite so stringent that I think cooking or minor home tending is out of the picture. So, some of that will go forward.
It has been a very rough couple of days. Hydrating may or may not have been all of it, though I do suspect dehydration may have been a part of it. I ran out of soda a few days ago, as I was getting ill anyway, and there is the caffeine angle which probably did not help. I also lost my ability and interest in eating. But too, dishes needed doing so as to feel comfortable with more cooking. It is a whole cycle the runs through when things go bad. Still, a few days of a bad downtime is not all that bad.
Something else that will be done today is that I will make plans for Monday. I need to do a lot of business and time is ticking on much of it. I am not sure what I can do, other than call and try, wait and hope, then check back on these things in due time. This type of work is the most irritating. By the way, I did find that, as a vet, I have exemption from about a quarter of million in taxes. Since my home is not worth that much, I can use anything over that against my auto. However, I first have to get my files transferred from Iowa to here, then wait for a form indicating my disability, and then take that to whoever needs it. Nothing is all that fast or easy. However, unless I call, it will never be done. So, Monday will see that call being made.
Time to finish waking up, doing some dishes, cleaning the kitty and cat litter, getting trash ready to go out tonight, handling recycling for next week, perhaps finally changing bedding, and a drive into town... in some order or other. Have a good day.
Addendum:
No, it is not quite over. After doing just a few chores, I am fevered again. It is not hot outside, it just rained. It is 80 F inside and out, rather than 90 or higher outside. It is getting and staying in the 80's indoors regularly now though, so I suspect added heat does not help. I need to eat and drink much more regularly. I cannot be certain though. I have had fevers and such, off and on, for a long time now. It is part of why I suspect I contracted something either overseas or simply have a permanent bad reaction to some of the junk they gave us to prevent us from getting sick. The Navy piled on shots every time we were to go abroad. Still, I will get to what I want to do today. If nothing else, it is less severe than it has been the last few days. I can work through it now.
