Should I grant it access?
I woke this morning to try and figure out how to extricate myself from the discombobulated aspects of my near recent walk through the non-garden section of life as we know it here and now. Or, I am hoping this is the day I will figure out how to take care of some nagging chores and check on some bills and figure out what is going on with the V.A. Well, the world wanted to give me incentive and throw a wrench into the works. The hot water heater is dripping, down (and out) the drain connector where one would connect a hose to drain the device before repairs or replacement. So, I will need to figure this, too, out today... or... soon.
A shower. The first in... read "or... soon." above and you will have some idea. I lost track. Ah, but it FEELS SOOOO GOOD! I somehow doubt people who bath or shower every day or at worst every other day have any idea how good that first shower in 'x' days feels. After I do some waking up, check on some things, then can relax a bit later this evening, I am contemplating a soak bath then another shower. I love baths but, even if clean going in I feel grungy coming out. And I hate the hair thing. I cannot easily wash my hair in a bath. Baths were made for littlen's. At 6'4" and 260, most baths are tight. I get about two buckets of water in with me is all, it seems. Still, a bath is on my menu.
I have a question for you. I am battling, and losing harshly, my exhaustion. The caffeine I take helps me maintain an absolute scrub high minimum. I know if I add sugar, I can raise that bar and do more, on a short term basis. I also know that, sugar is a slow but sure poison to me. My diabetes seems to be under control through food alone. Do I take poison to gain altitude or stay in this prison of ice until it eventually thaws? What would you do? Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the lamest of them all? Well, do not just do something, SIT THERE! hah
Well, on to waking up. Have a good day.
Hmm, I battle fatigue too :(
ReplyDeleteI MOVE! I try to eat properly (veggies)! And I suck it up, A LOT.
I drink a black tea with a wee dollop of honey when I need a kick. However, the more I use an aide, the more often I NEED an aide.
Some days are just better than others :)
Like today, it's -37 Celsius. Frickin cold!!! BRRRRRRRRR!
PS. Reality is just a perception ;)
ReplyDeleteAs I typed what I did previously, I realized I could indeed go for a short run, if I bundle up warm enough...
So, here goes EVERYTHING!
*******hugs********
Why are you living in a freezer?
ReplyDeleteOh, and good! Get out there and show em' what you are doing! Put a little extra spit in your stride the next time you run, just for me. I'm there in spirit.
About the 'little helpers', yep, same here. It plateaus and then I either have to back off or step it up. I back off, stepping up is often stepping off. I'm too prone to addictions as is. Caffeine! Nicotine! Internet! Games! Cats! Cats? Cats!
Sex?! Food!? Even exercise!
ReplyDeleteModeration is and will always be my challenge.
I ran. It was VERY cold. I didn't go too far, 3.5 kms. By then parts I had 3 layers on began to hurt.
Home, safe, and off to have a nice warm bath :)
Mmmm..
A freezer? Freezers don't even get that cold! It was weather like that, two weeks straight my last winter in Minnesota that just drove home hard how great it was that I was moving to where I would never, ever see such ridiculous, absurd cold again.
ReplyDeleteWonder Woman, exercising outdoors at those temps, you can freeze up your lungs. Do you wear a mask or other breathing protection?
Yup, I was cautious. And when I felt too tired, or lack of breath, I decided it was time to head home...
ReplyDeleteThis was my clothing for today's run:
2 pairs of pants
2 pairs of socks
2 bras
2 long sleeve shirts
2 jackets
runners (obviously)
A toque
A scarf
A neck warmer/mouth protector
2 pairs of mitts (1 pair mittens, 1 pair of gloves)
Headphones
Ipod
Traction do-hickeys on runners
And a stubborn brain that MADE ME DO IT!
It's all golden!!!
Night :)
Two bras! I never woulda thunk. Gotta keep them boobies toasty.
ReplyDeleteAnd in place! Why, WW would luck funny with a black eye, let alone two! Just... a thought...
ReplyDeleteFine, I'll sneak back into my cave... *grumbles* *well, I thought it sounded funny*
Oh, I want one of those facial breath/heat exchangers. Not that I go out that often, but one thing I know is that my lungs don't like heavy work in the cold when I do. Then again, my lungs don't like heavy work hot or cold atm. I think Cabela's has one for about $39. Price may have changed a bit (a lot?) since last I looked though.
