Good.

It's 3:42.  Might have been ten minutes ago when I woke. I didn't exactly pounce from bed or sprint to the bathroom.  But I didn't go slow or easy either.  I went down sometime, anytime, after 22:00 but before 23:00.  I am thinking in the forty's.  Then again, with time pieces still in variance for specific reasons or still at, or at some partial of, the old time...  Sleep was very good.  No suffering.  It's the rare type of sleep I hope to have.

I suspect I'll be back to bed in less than a dozen hours.  Though who knows.  Or cares.  On this weekend, what happens, happens.  I won't push, pull, stretch, shove, or any such.  Not on any outset.  If I happen to get working on the carts, then begin running on empty, I may attempt to push on through.  Other than that, if I don't feel like it, so be it.

I can't remember exactly how things went last time.  I know I initially thought I had escaped repercussions.  It wasn't until the second day that I learned otherwise.  I am not sure this quite counts.  If honestly, if it takes me down every time for several days, if it lowers my bp it is well worth it.  As well, I believe it helped me eventually do bucket loads of work once I recovered.  I do believe a large part of that run is directly tied to the massage and pedicure.  Something about removing background pain from walking makes mobility less of a thought process.  'Ready for the pain?'  Not always, even if you've buried the sensations deep.  The massage was almost a minor, or false wound.  It caused healing.  Almost akin to an inoculation.

I did work on my feet several times between visits.  Removing dry skin, digging lightly under toenails, remembering to wear socks, mostly.  But I... have such a revulsion to lotion.  I just don't believe it will wash out of socks.  Hmm... if I could find thick long cotton socks, white, preshrunk, so I could bake the bastards when I wash, I'd feel better about it.  I have been looking, not finding.  I just don't... trust... gunk lingering around.

I am definitely hungry.  I ate well before bed.  A good sign.  I thawed meat yesterday!  Brats, burger, and chops, plus I still have cabbage and crumble.  I'm thinking brats and cabbage for $1000.  Bake the brats, then crisp them up top, adding cabbage to warm that while cool the brats.  Later.
