First visit done.

I was able to get the shower, dressed, and shaved in time to visit one of my neighbors. It was a good conversation. The husband showed me how the land is divided, and I learned they do not own the lot beside me. Thankfully they knew who did, or at least they have a contact for someone in the family. I think they will be good people to get to know a bit. I may have someone to offer a hand putting the roof up next week. Neither of us knows what we are doing, strictly speaking, but neither of us is a complete dunce either. I can tell if another guy has some native mechanical intuit with which to work. He seems to have it. Information and contact, that I initiated. Another first as an adult, for the most part. But it was 20:30 by the time we concluded. So that is it for visits. Hmm, maybe a stroll to the post office though. My new glasses might be in.

I am going to have to watch the fluid. I have been a bit dry for several days. I have been lax on getting enough to drink. I think staying busy means I am not noticing and, the definition of being busy is that you aren't doing what you might normally do... sort of... just go with me. Too dry on what I am taking could be a serious problem. I have decided to cut the Gatorade to half strength as well. I don't think I need that much of what it offers, but water is simply not palatable. I need to get milk back on tap too. Despite it technically being a diuretic, I think I actually have a net gain of fluid from drinking it. And it adds variety and solid nutrients. Soda is an occasional treat now, too. I doubt if I drink more than a can or two a day and I don't always finish it.

Oh, one thing I am very pleased with... I am wearing the 38 waste jeans. I was pushing 44's into 46's when I moved here. What a change. They are a bit tight. I think that will change too. Simply being active will take care of much of the problem, after the water has been removed. What an amazing thing. My stubbornness might have it's problems, but I think this time, holding the doctors to bare minimum AND continuing to go, it might be paying off big time. Still, I needed a slow day today. Pushing it too hard too fast while my heart is still enlarged and other organs are still healing would be very unwise. If I can pass up a first heart attack I have an excellent chance at a real and long life.

Well, on to... something. Good night, for sure, I do believe.
