I can barely walk.

It's much like walking on stilts.  There simply isn't much flex due to the stiffness, perhaps swelling?  It doesn't hurt all that bad, even when I go beyond and squat or bend.  However I can't do those things quickly.  That was quite a bit of leg work, as most pick, awl, and shovel of soil was gone through by hand, sometimes twice.  It didn't hurt at the time, it is just as if my legs have become concrete, more so the upper hind part of my legs, though the calves are a bit worked... they are just more used to it.

All good.  I won't complain.  And, if tomorrow or whenever, I can get starters and the parts and pieces I want, I will continue working.  Heck, tonight I might get out and do some of the shopping.  Breaking up convoluted tours of shopping sure makes it easier.  An all dayer in various businesses, driving hither and thither, is pretty draining.  Hmm, if I could get the parts for the compost bin, a planter or two, sheers and shooter killing sap, I could do a few things earlier tomorrow, then head out for more of it on Wednesday.

Perhaps make a few calls and inquire about where to source starters... if possible, tomorrow, as well.  I really don't want to muck around with seed for things like asparagus.  Yes, I understand the problems of bringing starters home.  I also understand how much it takes to grow... anything... from seed.  It takes a year, or two, or three, of dedication, depending on what it is.  That means planting, watering, feeding, getting it the right amount of light, and heat.  On and on and on.  I just don't have it.

I have been checking ketones.  I seem to be right between, by the color chart, 15 and 40... light to medium ketosis.  I did check my fasting blood sugar.  That is at 227.  Not good, but pretty regular, actually.  I think fasting is about the only way to bring my blood sugar down.  To fast I pretty much need to be into ketosis, and I am getting there.  It's more a matter of having enough food on hand to feast in a four to six hour period.  It also meant getting back in potassium levels I can live which, but will also mean more greens.  All of which is just about where I need it.  So?  So, on top of all else I am up to, I need to begin food planning.

Tonight I will boil a dozen and an half eggs.  More than that and it just... it's too much.  When I go to town, I may pick up more greens, and other vegetables.  Cauliflower is great, as is spinach, kale, and cabbage.  I also need more salads, and will begin checking out various dark greens to mix in, and some to cook, ones with which I am not terribly familiar.  I don't need sweets, and am very tolerant of bitters.  Plus eggs and homemade dressings help.  Ugh.  Currently I am eating to perceived needs, of meat and greens (mostly).  I am hoping, as I get back into it all, including work, I will slowly both decrease how much I eat, but again begin being able to fast.

It is coming.  My whole life is coming back around.  I think I will be able to get the riding mower this coming month.  I think, I say, I think, boy.  I just want to make sure it can handle a hauler, maybe an aerator, a snowblower, perhaps even a blade... and that it has the power to use those.  My lawn is a mess, perhaps a few years of solid work and it will be back in shape?  Who knows.  I sure like where things are going.  Good afternoon.
