Okay.

The pain is completely gone.  That spasm storm must have reset everything.  It became a plate sized sore after that, then continued to shrink.  A saucer, then a cup, then a nail, and finally...  Gone.  Still with just a touch of the fever I discussed.  Ah well.  It was something, for a while.  I would like to get into town, but I don't think today is the day.  While the pain faded, it has left me rather tired.  Of course, three meals in a day probably adds to weariness.  Ah well.  I'm getting there.  I'll just put the meat up and sleep for a bit.  With the naps, I usually don't need to sleep a usual shift.  Then again, I never do know.  Oh, there might still be pain.  But my threshold is... nearly unholy.  I don't feel it when it goes below some level.  That has some good things and bad things associated with it.

No, I didn't tear into the bag.  I started, twice, give or take.  Just... got lost in the notion before it happened.  It's on the menu.  Good night.
