Improvements.

Life is beginning to improve ever so gently.  I haven't gotten out of the 'net' quite yet.  I am merely beginning to work at getting off my back.  The body is a bit rusty.  The last two outings, however, busted a lot of the rust from the joints, allowing the body to begin functioning a bit.  I wasn't sore until the next day from the first event.  I am not sore at all from this last event.  Some aspects of my body heal quickly.  If I could maintain momentum, I think the doctors would be very surprised with what I can do.  Then again, they already are, as is.  I tell you, they don't understand.

Another shower and bath sometime this morning.  And, with cream, coffee can be had.  Some days I just have a "cup", some days two pots is consumed.  A pot is the usual.  While whipping cream, and milk, will last a while unopened, that is limited.  I pushed that to a point beyond my ability to ignore flavor.  Old cream gets a certain twang too it, then the flavor drops.  I was stuck in nights, and down, so couldn't replace it until now.  Need at least a cup of coffee a day.  Fresh coffee is just about ready and fresh cream for it.  Yum.

I got around to calling my mother.  She is not only doing well, she surprised me.  I won't give away the surprise, I'm never sure who reads here.  Her surprise is for her to hand out.  It has made me decide, next month of the month after, to send her something special.  Good kids get treats.  Even if all does not work, efforts of great resolve need encouragement.  It looks like the plans are underway for travel later in the year.  Perhaps more than had been anticipated.  All good.  Another... surprise.  Perhaps I gave it earlier, but perhaps it was missed.  Always good to hear one's mother in such good spirits, and pleased.  Chicken soup for the soul, that.  I offered advice on something, don't know if she will take it.  And it might not be right for her, only what has helped me.

While I won't start taking stats for another week, to see how things are shaping up with the extra herbals, going back on regular vitamins and minerals, and with medicines being maintained, I did want to check my weight.  When I dressed for the first of recent events, my pants seemed a little too big.  Too big, eh?  Yeah.  And those slacks have always been a bit tight.  I even had them fitted, but that is what the tailor suggested.  Anyway, I wanted to check my weight and this morning was the first time I had thought to do that, at the right moment.  I have lost 10 pounds since the last weight check.  The last weight check was a bit elevated from my norm, now it is a bit below the norm.  I feel it has been a bit below the norm for a while now, though.  Just a sense, from other instances.  Weight isn't quite as much of a concern as is fitting certain clothes.  Another 15 pounds off and I would be reasonably pleased.  Start from the start, though, I suppose.

Oh, a "cup" of coffee, then a shower and bath, then on to looking for that dratted paperwork!  Gah!  Later.
