It really is cold.

It was well in the low 20's when I looked a bit ago.  No wonder the asparagus hasn't been doing much.  I am surprised the rest looks as good as it does.  I don't know how they gauge these things, but for my mind I would call that a hard frost.  No wonder I have fallen.  It's not that the 20's are too cold.  It is more that when it hit's the 70's, and is warm for a while to the point of hot, then cools like this, I... can't handle the fast changes well at all.  No worries.  I'll keep trying.

I changed the water for the dishes.  Breakfast was next.  All good.  I do hope to completely finish dishes, and pretty much, laundry today.  Trash and recycling as well.  A shower in there too.  Nothing more.  In part because it is Sunday, but just as much because I realize I can't do much more.  Oh... one other thing, reset medicines.  I'll go this first week on half of the main medicine dose, then put it back up to the max dose from then on.  Yeah.  That'll be tough but I gotta do it.  I can tell.  Fighting weather changes, medicine, and heavy work has been a bit tight, but I think I'll do alright.

I need to make it to the grocery store in the next few days.  Low on too many things.  I've learned to buy, and eat, in such a way as to be able to coast a fairly long time.  I might run out of some things, like milk and cream sooner than later... and live without them for a while.  But so be it.  As long as I have something to eat, and can make do, life is easier.  I am learning to make do without simply starving.  Which I can also do.  To be honest, that might actually be healthier, if it prevents me from working and being active.  Choices, I guess.

It'll take a bit before I can get to things.  It was a heavy breakfast.  I think I'll wander the internet, review some of the devices I have and how best to use them, drool over some of the tools on my short list, imagine projects I would like to do and review paths to success others have taken.  I saw a video earlier, about how learning (pretty much anything) is more about learning to accept failure.  I've heard that before.  And... there is some truth to it.  Success, actually, can be just as daunting.  Or so I say.  Pure success can lead to avoidance as well.  Why?  I suppose you would have to figure that out for yourself.  But part of it is that I don't want to get stuck doing just what I can do successfully.  To be forced into that.  The world wants scalable one-trick ponies, and will trick, cajole, snare, blackmail, and in any way it can, try to corner you into being it's breadmaker.  Though there is more to it than that.

Anyway...  I suppose I should turn up the heat while I am at it.  It really is chilly.  For the last four or five days, or more(?), it had become almost intolerably warm, so this... is a bit of a system shock.  Yeah, some heat.  Later.
