Something almost kicked over today.

I wasn't able to capture it, but for about an hour this morning I almost felt alive!  It doesn't seem like much.  Contrasted with not being able to sit or lie comfortably, while in a gray fog, for the last hundred and eleventy days it... was a kindness.  Perhaps I am trying to pick up a bit before my mother arrives.  An old dog, trying to wag his tail for his old master?  Dunno.

Then, the fellow that brings me meals saw that... the house was a bit ragged.  So... he and son scoop in, vacuum trash and recyclables into a dozenty bags, hauls it all out to the bins, and takes the bins to the street!  That gives me room to breath.  So, I set the dishes to a soak and hope to get to them soon.  I'll keep the soak fresh until I get to the dishes.  A shower wouldn't hurt either.  And some laundry.  Something needs to break.  Mom is coming!

I've been tinkering with the heat.  I keep it 72 all of the time, kicking it up to 76 when my bones hurt from cold, turning it back down when the heat makes me break out in hives, and with my bedroom being an ice cube factory for sleep, it works pretty well.  Not much else has happened, but maybe a few things might get kicked over soon.  Oh, and I am staying right at around 260 pounds.  I quit much of my snacking because it was fueling my diabetes, which I haven't checked in a while.  If it is back under control I need to find a new set of snack foods to add nutrition, which fuels weight loss.  I'll keep tinkering with that until I have a load of quick easy foods that don't bugger my diabetes.  In any case, I think the 'fever' might be breaking.  I might be able to get my feet on the ground and get some things done before my mother arrives.  I do hope, someday, to have a clean home to invite her to visit.  It's possible today, it just wouldn't be MY home.  :p

Good day... evening... fine, it's night... uhrm, morning already?  Never you mind.  But I'm not a gonna go to bed!  Though I hope you sleep/slept well.
