A bit going on.

.

I've cleared one small area in my bedroom and then made something to eat. Beans and hamburger with a mix of spices I would call masala more than anything else was for dinner. A teaspoon (or more) of my hotter than hot cayenne, cumin, ginger, and all spice, a half a teaspoon of tarragon and garlic, and a half tablespoon of salt, into the meat while cooking, add beans to heat, throw in some shredded cheddar, a tablespoon of sour cream, butter some bread, and call it heavenly. Well, my tastes may be simple or strange. Actually, romaine lettuce could have been (and might yet be) good shredded and mixed in. Or even kale, parboiled then added while I reheat remainders. I do like greens, often, it's just that they are one more hassle to the meal. Meat! Then, other stuff, maybe. It's just the way I am.

I have to be careful at this point. I may actually need another day of rest. On the other hand, if I rest another day it could turn into a week. But maybe I need a week to actually recover. Science, medicinal forms of it, don't help me here. It is easy to ignore need, it might be also that I am attending need to far into a form of want. I have no real idea about my body. It's still physically sore. I am still lagging with energy. If I stay down I can get stuck there. If I run, I may stumble and fall even harder. I really don't have any way of knowing. My personal history has shown that both can be true, I simply don't have a means of deciding which is which. So, I'm probably going to try to go forward, but in a slightly lower gear. A few tasks, some rest, recheck status. If doing well, another set of tasks. No more than three task sets a day, and tending to food and basic necessities on the side. I'll know in a few days.

Tomorrow will see me into town. I would like to look for a water heater locally. The lowest I have seen them priced is about $285. I don't think I want to go minimum. Then again, I don't want to go maximal (at $1200, some duel fuel, mostly electric, supposedly green, garbage). A nice tweener, say $350 to $450? It depends on what I pull out of the salesmen. I'll look at whatever stores might have them locally and get as many points, counter points, and do some research based on that. Who knows, perhaps the cheaper ones are better (or all that will fit). I do have to consider size. After doing shopping on that topic, decide or not right tomorrow, I will, weather allowing, see if my friend wants to do some shooting. He needs to unload a couple thousand rounds... so he can reload more! Not all tomorrow. Still, we best get going on that.

I had someone from the census show up today. I have great doubts about some things. Yes, I know the census is legal. I just don't believe they should be doing census work other than on the decades. So, I want to know who arranged this, and why. I want to check some things out. And, as I told her, regardless, I will not be giving much detailed information, if I even need to actually be doing this. *dubious glare* I stalled saying I had things to do, and actually, I do, just not what I told her. Oh, right, I may not be available for a call tomorrow anyway. How much do you think they will really razz a truly disabled vet? Probably more than most, to be honest.

I think I will try one more work period tonight, then try to hang up the spurs a bit earlier. The goal is to be out of bed by 8:00 tomorrow. Shower, shave, dress, and head to town by 10:00 to kick out shopping by 13:00 or 14:00. That means being to bed by no later than midnight, preferably earlier to bed as sleep has been occasionally taking more than seven or eight hours. By then I will know if shooting is on the menu. Best take several guns then, ammo, and maybe a target or three. Later, or good night.
