Technically I was awake at 5:30.

I really did wake up.  On any other day, regardless of the time, when I function like that I get out of bed and start my day, happily or not so much.  Not today.  Upper body muscles were screeching.  It all hurt.  So... I kept trying to sleep a bit longer in hopes of shedding some of the pain.  I twisted, turned, flipped, and flopped, like a live fish in a frying pan.  If I had been able to think through it I would have gotten up and taken a fistful of anacin.  Actually, I thought about it at one point, but right as I was going under.  The lights went out along with the idea.

I kept waking to go to the bathroom.  It seems that working out has opened up channels that were previously closed.  Since shoveling snow this winter, something changed.  I could still use the water pill, but with that not available, at least my body is handling fluids much better, somehow.  Well, this work that I am currently doing is keeping that going.  So, up, often.  Without the pill I just have to wake several times each night, on top of daily rounds.

I knew I had at least one package.  I was hoping to get in today.  Right at 11:30 I struggled to push it all into action, and did.  No shower, but I took one last night.  Just getting dressed and out the door in time.  Two packages were in, but not the two I was expecting.  Which means, probably Monday, I have to make it back in.  Out here, FedEx doesn't deliver to your door.  They just drop it off at the post office, then write on Amazon that they "tried to deliver".  I wish I could find out who the delivery would be by.  I would skip FedEx every time.  That's b.s.!

Today?  Ugh.  My upper body is numb, as if I slept on it wrong.  That isn't the case.  Just, for as rusty as it is, it has been overused.  I had almost thought of pressing on, doing more work, as I wound down, then was falling asleep last night.  That's not going to happen.  I just took a few painkillers, I'll see how that works.  And, no, even if I get to feeling better I won't hit it.

Meatballs!  I will make those, I think, if I can get to that.  One of the packages that arrived, I think, is my new curtains.  Plus the sheers from a bit ago.  However, I need some sort of treatment for the sheers.  The curtains can just be swapped out, and the old ones moved back to the rear windows.  As well, while I am working with food, I might do a bit more work in the kitchen.  The bathroom is being maintained quite well.  I just gave it an after-shower wipe-down last night.  Much easier if you never let it drop to pre-civilized conditions, innit?  :p  That is today, at most, at best.  I have earned the spaghetti and meatballs!  Though, if I go to town for rods and such, I may attempt to find french bread... then butter and garlic that for the meal.  Yeah... a rare treat to have a meal forethought, partially handmade, and full.  Hmm... romaine lettuce for salad?  Just a bit, or it goes bad, but I suppose.

Later.
