Better.

The pain has migrated from legs, to hips, and on to the lower back at full intensity.  It seems to be slowly disappearing into my upper abdomen.  It's still a bit rough.  Time will heal that too.  With the odors handled, dishes done, litter being looked after more closely, just a bit of laundry is all that is needed actually.  Hmm, well trash and recycling need to go out as well.  And I think I can do the kitchen table and counter tops tonight with ease.  Perhaps get sweeping in.  Save the dishes, the work has been piecemeal and in small batches.  Even so I am getting ahead and staying there.

The call came, dinner was to arrive in 15 to 20 minutes.  Time enough for a shower, thought I.  Well, I meant to shower yesterday but didn't get to it, so all good.  Just as I was getting out the doorbell sounded.  Ruh-rho...  Ogres, for all our problems, can indeed dress like the wind!  Meh... I need a little push once in a while.  Well... I thought it was funny.

Uhrm, wait... I have an appointment in the morning, in SLC.  So a long drive.  The goal is to be out by 5:00, so as to miss the heaviest of traffic both going and returning.  Although there is something I may try to ferret out as a side bit of personal business on the way, and perhaps lunch somewhere if that will help me avoid heavier traffic or kill time waiting for what I am seeking to be available.  After a bit of digging, if it will be a bit tight, I should be able to do part of what I hoped to do.  The other part seems to be Saturday, or by appointment otherwise.  *shrug*  I will have to start out a bit earlier though.  Starting at 4:00?  Yeah.  But that is actually good since I won't be getting up, just trying to stay awake to get there.  I might be able to take care of the one thing locally, still... thinking...

My sleep has been highly variable lately.  The start time for the trip is right around, plus or minus four hours, my bedtime.  So... this is going to be a bit of an ugly trip.  I may take a nap later.  That might help, or hurt, but usually helps.  Life is a gamble.  Just going with the odds, even if they were honest, is not a winning strategy.  Actually, there is no pure winning strategy, only risk with mitigating options, when available.  If life is all, it is a sucker's bet.  Which... is the matter regarding my other business while in "town".  Tend what you may, suffer the rest.  I intend to tend, "today".

I noticed something else.  I still haven't reset medicines.  How I can forget such a vital thing I don't know.  Perhaps I needed a little rest from medicine.  I have gotten some things done, so there is that.  Medicine is like exercise.  It might be good for you, but sometimes... we have no choice but to take a rest from it.  Even the wicked are offered reprieve, innit?  I have done, honestly, what I could.  In all ways, even when I do nothing I am contemplating action and function.  Yes, yes, today... probably.

Later.
