A little bit easier today.

Yeah, waking early and remembering to take 1800mg of aspirin makes getting out of bed a lot easier. Maybe that much Tylenol, give or take, at night also helps. I do not always feel the pain, I just notice it from time to time. When I omit the junk, getting up and waking up are both retarded regardless if I notice the pain or not. I have tried lesser amounts to poor results. Anyway.

It is raining, and has been for most of the day. The weather reports indicate we will have rain for the next two to four days. So much for working on the bench. Still, with the light back up, I am going to try and figure out the washing machine. No manuals or other information was found regarding this particular washer by model or serial number. However, I am hoping general ideas from other machines will allow me to figure things out. The light in the washroom will make this chore much easier. An inch forward, three back, six forward, two back, so it goes.

Since I am stuck indoors, I may try to get to some cleaning. The kitchen is the first and usual area that needs hit. Sweeping, mopping, and dishes. Getting trash ready to be taken out Sunday would also be a good thing. I make a lousy home maker, by the way. Then again, all but a few weirdo friends I have ever known, of the male persuasion, have ever kept their places clean. Even those only did a marginal job. I do not do a marginal job. Then again, my cave-dwelling fellow types do much worse. On this, among men, I seem average or a bit above that. Then again, women seem to run the gamut too. I think they only keep things tidy, when lived with, due to being lived with, from what I have seen. I have never seen, personally, what happens after marriage but my guess is probably they revert to near caveman status until or unless they are in nesting mode.

Yes, the painkillers do make life a bit easier. I am unsure about why I would need that much that often though. If it was just headaches, I might suspect stroke warnings. Something that may happen due to high blood pressure. But I do not think high blood pressure would have anything to do with a sensation of arthritis along the backbone and into the neck. It started with the lung compression, coughing, and such. All which started about the time I received the flu and some other inoculation. If nothing else, I do not believe I will be accepting more of those.

Well, on with my day. The washer waits, as do the broom, mop, and dishcloth. Have a good day. It is a Saturday, after all.
