Better.

I won't say I'm clearing hurdles yet.  I did reset the dishes and am hoping to get them dried and put away shortly.  Then a shower, a load of laundry, and some cleaning... whatever I can get done.  I still have a minor headache, but this is more of a normal one.  If it has anything to do with the bug, it is remnants of the fight.  The bug is dead, long live the bug.  But between starting medicines and my body cleaning up and slowly backing away from the bug fight, a minor headache is to be expected.  Definitely not at the top of my game.  Just better than I have been in weeks, at this moment.

I do have a light list of things to do.  Some reading offered for thought, a bit more cleaning, getting the lawn some water tomorrow, and figuring out my next steps.  I will have to work up to doing anything bigger, but I think I will be able to slowly start working again.  There might even be a social call coming up, or two.  One is more important.  And shopping.  I am out of milk, cream, and some other stuff.  Thawing some meat, too.  Just a bit.  I need to start eating again. 

It is hot out there, and I am a bit sensitive to it for a while.  The fever was like a sunburn, it makes all other sources of heat a bit more noticeable, uncomfortable.  If I can get the hoses set up earlier in the morning though, and set to run in the evening after the sun goes down, that might be good enough.  Medicine will help, after a little bit of abuse for missing it.  It will slow me down for a week or two, which is fine, I guess, as things stand.  Without a garden to worry about, I can, maybe, stick to cleaning and doing repairs, maintenance, and construction this summer.  Rest, and maybe get out this winter, and save for the kitchen floor in the spring.

Plans are great.  Sometimes they work, sometimes they hit the wall of reality and... you get what you get.  And yet it is worth the effort to plan.  It gives fallback positions, opens opportunities, and seems to smooth life out, good or bad.  So I will continue to plan, doing what I can, when I can, and... enjoying what of it works out, rescheduling the rest.  Later.
