Stiff and sore but for a different reason.

Inactivity, at least after a long bought of heavy function, also leaves a mark.  I keep making lists and not getting to most of it.  Basically because I am still exhausted.  I just wish I could do just enough more to kick over whatever is needed to cause my body to rest right.  Or, maybe, there isn't a way out of this side of things but through time and rest?  I just can't be certain.

The neck and shoulders are cranky.  I wake with the feeling that I haven't slept enough. --  I wrote this much earlier, say at 10:30, then just started crashing so hard I could barely manage to crawl back to bed.  Here it is, 13:50 or so, and I've just been awake for a little less than an hour.  Brutal.  I think, in spite of myself, I will take some pain pills.  No more until next week, if I begin working, then a limit of just two days... say Tuesday and Friday?  Just a rough goal.

I have done three things already this "morning".  I folded up most of the clothes to be folded, and paired socks.  There is a shirt I need to figure out, but the rest is managed, and a load of laundry has gone in.  I meant to do this the other day, then earlier, but finally put salt in a smaller, more portable, bag then hit the drive.  Just a few spots.  The sun is out, I wanted to use it.  It isn't all that warm, but the sun, even without too much heat, really works well with salt.  If it is both cloudy and cold, nada, de nada... nothing, thank you, I believe.  Finally, I made my bed.  Small, but I think just a start.

I am hoping to collect the dishes, take a shower, deal with the trash and recycling, doing laundry between this and that.  Oh, and I'd like to pick up and put down and get the place sort of back to where it was at it's peak.  It was never super, but if I maintain, then when I go to move on I am on having to work up to stepping up.  Or... something.  I need to make some things more habit than a later duty.  Though, when I am pushing myself beyond the edge, habits are... they fall down.  I can do 80%, 100%, even one and a quarter.  If I do that last, there simply isn't anything left for good habits.  Wives don't tend to understand that, until it's their turn.  But the push can be good.  I guess she thinks if she should stretch, so should you.  That'll leave a mark.  :p

Yeah.  I bit off, and on, but I'll try to push on through.  I might see if there is something to fix for a meal.  It's... been a while.  Working past the drop zone means there isn't anyone left with anything in them to cook or even toss much together.  Hmm, I think I have some oranges.  Meant to make an orange sauce, but it just didn't, couldn't, happen.  Later.
