Nothing. No... thing. Period.

Yeah, that was the plan.  My plan.  And, yes, I knew that the PoD (princess of darkness) had other plans.  I knew she planned on getting the food into the food bank, doing last minute shopping, and... who knew what else.  Oh, I knew.  And I was holding to my guns.  Uh-huh.  Oh well.

It looks like shopping and food and cleaning out the back seat a bit, right over my dead cold corpse.  I'm feeling a bit rested though, so it isn't a biggy.  I wouldn't be doing this on my own, for certain.  But since I have someone here, pushing, I suppose I can do it.

One of us called the food bank, open and taking... needing.  I heard a report that food bank demand is up 400% this year.  I don't know if contributions are keeping up, but 80-120 pounds of rice and two bean types should help just a little.  Still all good, just... I never got around to sealing them, but I am using up two of the bags of beans I had opened, and they are just fine.  I never use white rice, but they should be good too.  From a visit last night I learned of a good sewing machine repair shop.  I won't be messing with them for now, but I have them in mind.  As well, I figured out the butcher shop I will be working with.  The reason I couldn't find it before, for sure, is because it is pronounced so differently from how it is spelled.  A Nordic/Germanic sounding spelling versus pronunciation thing if I had to bet.  And we found out the guy at Home Depot out and out lied to us.  He told us delivery would be Wednesday, not NEXT Wednesday!  Oh well.

My bp is still pretty high.  At 171/110 it is slightly lower than the typical range by just 10 points on both numbers, it isn't as low as they had it.  No surprise really, though.  I did decide, after thinking about things, to raise my diuretic to a full tab.  As I remember, I always had to take more.  Of course, now I have to figure out how to choke down potassium.  My mother had a good idea, Crystal Lite.  I knew about the stuff, and have tasted it and it is okay enough, perhaps.  It is just something, because of the type of artificial sweetener, I had... It was just one-off enough for me that I hadn't contemplated it.  But to choke down potassium, it might just work, just for that.  It is nice having someone who thinks similarly but just enough differently to help plan and then implement something new.  Uhrm, for a while.

I know if she moves out, one of the first goals is to quit tobacco, for both of us.  Might as well get the "hell" over with, right up front.  If it works from that point, should work well.  If she moves I will tease my brother about 'getting mom'.  I will tell him not to worry though.  If she gets too close to reforming me, and I need a break, I will punt.  Heh.  Oh, we would have to... work on some things too.  Cut cleaning days to like, two days a week, or... order things a little slower.  Yes, I help, when I can.  Not this morning though, I am pretty shot.  I'll do muscle, I'll drive, but I don't think I'll go in the store for shopping with her, but I will load and unload the groceries..  I really... can't.  Yeah, I'll help with the X.  I'll do some other things.  If she can help me get to swimming, to the gym, I'll get her a pass too.  But things, yeah, a little slower.  Then again, I doubt if she quite runs at this pace at home.  She is just trying to get her weak baby boy into a clean happy home, plus with Thanksgiving and my brother arriving, she kicks things up a notch and a half.  Yikes.  Still, I've been holding up better than I thought.  Slower, though.  Odd, I can't even nap.  It doesn't surprise me that I sleep well and regularly, the work does that.  I'm just surprised I don't, and don't even feel the need to, nap more.  I've told her, if she moves, she gets two work days out of me a week, for heavy stuff.  Oh... she'll push it and I'll refuse, in a longer term thing.  I just can't keep it up.  Short term?  Yeah, but I can't sprint for long.  We know this.

Well, it's about time for me to shower, start in on the X'ter, and... stuff.  Fug, I'm not quite spinning right in my head even yet.  Hmm, I bet she would give me an hour of game-time.  I think we have the time.  After a shower, so I can air dry, if not in my skivvies as I prefer.  Ugh... going to have to figure out how to get my skivvy time in too, but not in front of my mom...  Shopping days for her, trips, something.  Or maybe I just have to become civilized.  Bleh...  Then again, if they CAN get my heart going a bit better I will be going back to college.  I want... to do things, learn things, play with teh neat toyz, and associate with those like that, me.  Even at this late date. 

Well, later.  Have a good one.  I'm not a self-starter anymore, or for now, but if I can do something, so can you.  Trust me.
