Nice, really nice.

I did call my friend yesterday.  I told him I needed to be in town today and that I would get him out if he wanted to go.  It seems he would like to go.  I then eased myself down into sleep, getting to bed shortly before midnight, hoping I would wake up at a reasonable hour.  I didn't set the alarm.  At 7:30 I popped out of bed like a trooper.  A little sore but nothing that should keep me from more digging today.  After getting to town that is.  A stop at the bank to deposit some ducks, a visit to the grocery store for business not shopping, getting my friend for a day out, a visit to a hardware store, possibly something to eat in there somewhere.  Then back home to hit some shoveling.  It seems to be cloudy currently.  My friend said, though, that it is supposed to hit 80 F today.  I best try to get these things started early.  I hope to be out by 10:30.  Yeah, I'll still be working in hot temps, but I might be able to break my digging up into two shifts.

I am rather surprised that I am doing well.  I didn't overdo too heavily yesterday it seems.  Though medicine might be adding to function, at this point, rather than taking me down?  I simply don't know.  What the increased dosage will do is a whole other thing.  It might be a few days to a week before I see the full effects.  Or it might come as soon as tomorrow.  I best do what I can today.  Living in constant fear of freezing is no fun but that is what I have.

Have a great day.
