Another day out.

Oh, I did get out, yesterday, finally.  I had to get that watch and my friend wanted let out!  Yammer, hammer, spammer.  My ears were bleeding from all the need, plus I needed a few things.  I didn't do much, I didn't go far, I didn't get it all.  So, today, I am getting out again.  The problem with yesterday was that I heated up then could not cool down.  That is exactly what I thought would happen.  I didn't get to sleep until well after 6:00.  Core temps just wouldn't settle low enough quickly enough.  My guess is today will be the same.  Still, getting my outings over for the week, getting out at all actually, is a good thing.  Oh, remind me to take a couple of gas cans?

My curtains arrived.  Good thing I am going to town, I need curtain rods.  I had totally spaced that part.  While I have coverings on my bedroom windows, those coverings are different, and will be staying.  I actually like the idea of having both drapes and the wooden slat blinds in the bedroom.  It just gives me options.  These, like the others, will need to be washed first, which won't happen until I return.  A bit more shopping, too.  Cabbage, coffee, another gallon of milk, a bit more salami and cheese, little bits of this and that, and gasoline.  I need meats of course, but it would be nice to have a few good protein foods that are easily accessible.  I am reluctant to go for frozen shrimp, for example, as the taste is so subpar if you have ever cooked your own from fresh.  But the price and ease... might make it irresistible.  It is, pretty much, unprocessed, and a great protein.  Heated slightly, or even fried, with butter on the side or right in there, and... fats and proteins.  A food heaven.

Oh, about losing those extra pounds?  If you try, really really hard?  You have a two in a thousand chance to lose significant weight.  Further, even losing and keeping off 15 extra pounds will be more of an obsession than what it could possibly be worth.  Extra work out time?  It won't help.  Watching what you eat like bankers watch their money?  It simply doesn't matter.  Now, I am not suggesting people just give up, quit trying to at least maintain, I am only suggesting that people get used to the skin they are in.  The real world isn't Hollywood, the Amish sort of prove it.

Heck, did you see any heavy people in the movies Hollywood has created dealing with or even directly about the Amish?  I haven't.  But I lived near Amish communities, knew (as well as English can), some Amish and Mennonite (who happened to be former Amish too).  Yeah, not so thin.  But I... never thought about it.  And, being thin?  Is it really worth being obsessive?  Really?  REALLY?  Healthy?  Sure, but while the Amish proved not to be thin, they also suffered far fewer heart problems (mine, by the way, isn't related to poor diet, and my diabetes is just as likely related to the heart issue as not, or more) and diabetes.  But they do eat right and they do exercise.  And more, actually being thin is more unhealthy than even being obese, complicates any recovery from wound disease or surgery by itself, and puts one at constant risk in many situations.  Choose your poison carefully for you will never be what you aren't?  Something.

Okay, an hour more to... no, I don't really have the time.  I best hop into the shower, get going, and get back.  I feel like those lizards that skim the desert sands in hope that their feet not land too long on hot spots when I go out on summer days. *zip zip ZAP*  Don't stand still for too long any time at all, or 'zap'.  Perhaps, with drapes up, and the ac in when it arrives, life will be easier that way.  Just a place to literally chill when needed.  The deepfreeze for doom?  I wish.  A cool spot will have to do.

Get to it!
