A small start.

.

I got nowhere near my goal.  I did do a load of dishes, set up and washed that once, and set it back to soak for a second wash... which I reset this morning.  A bit of cleaning, a bit of this, a later meal (but not menudo) was made.  Oh, and I realized medicine had slipped through the cracks.  It's been a few days.  So I reset and started that.  It wasn't an awful start.  It wasn't as much as I had hoped, no fireworks of effort.  But it will suffice.  I am pleased to be back at the helm, even at quarter speed.

While resetting medicine, I realized I was out of some things, and would be out of other things rather soon.  I had meant to call about that yesterday afternoon, since I realized I needed one thing for certain, so probably needed more.  I couldn't quite pull it together for a call.  I did make that call today, an item needs my primary's permission, and a request to get my main medicine will need approval from the heart specialist.  And one item is shipped in such a way that they will play phone tag trying to make sure I am here when the package arrives.  Bleh.  Start from the start, play phone tag as you can.  Sometimes phone tag is horrible. 

When I am feeling weak, if they call from an unlisted number, or from a number I don't know... when I am really sick... I don't/won't, perhaps can't, answer.  When danger is near, in certain very specific cases, don't run, don't scream, don't make a sound or even move.  Stay... absolutely... quiet... and... still.  It's in my blood.  If some aspect of it gets too close, deal with it quietly.  In some instances, the best way to flee is to stand absolutely stone still.  Most people can't.  Hunters have an idea, but what they hunt has never hunted them, certainly not in a coordinated manner. 

I am hoping to wake a little more before making a choice.  My friend called Monday, but I was in seclusion.  Then he called yesterday, but while I was asleep.  When I realized he had called, I did call him back.  I told him it would be today or tomorrow, but that I would be out and we could go to dinner.  I told him I would call sometime this afternoon.  I need a bit to wake.  And, if I decide to go today, I will first have to redo the dishes so as to be able to get in and take a shower.  While I can pull as many eggs as you wish out of boiling water, hot water is still hot water.  And, for a bunch of work with dishes, my hot water is too hot for comfort and will be for at least another hour.  So, it would be two hours before I am able to get out.  So... I have an hour to slog coffee, wake enough to consider, make up my mind, then give him a call. 

Huh?  I don't know!  I just woke up.  Mostly.

Well... I can do one little thing before anything else.  A return must be made, and so it will be.  Sizes are so screwy sometimes, European can be the worst, but not always all.  I just hope it is easy enough.  Later.
