Ouch. Good signs.

What isn't stiff is stiff and sore.  My whole body is tight, like a giant knot.  From my waste up those knots are taught to pain.  Except my neck, if that still doesn't have full mobility, is rather taught.  Improving.  Now, both the stiffness and pain are precisely what are desired.  And a sort of hollowness, as if my body is partly insubstantial.  I can't explain it better, but if you have ever been in at least coached athletics at even the highschool level, and you actually applied yourself, you know this.  If you lived for things in that range, you might know that humble beat-down sense for years at a time.  Or so it seemed.  Being in top-flight shape is NOT about feeling "good".  It's about always hurting, up to and including injury, but carrying on quietly, ably.

I couldn't sleep until, perhaps, 1:00.  I woke at 9:30.  I was a bit too sore to sleep.  Which is fine.  Readings aren't great, but were taken and recorded.  Not great?  Compared with what?  Other people, true... myself over the last few months, false.  Fasting today.  If help shows, he might get a steak.  Thawed but fasting, don't want to risk that meat going bad.  Fasting, and mostly resting today and tomorrow.

Ah, another good sign.  I grabbed a shirt, for over my T-shirt, yesterday.  While I don't go all in dapper, I do attempt some civility.  Anyway it fit almost loose.  If it was an 2xl tall... it still meant I had lost.  If it was the single extra large tall... it meant I lost a lot of size.  Last time I tried that size, it didn't fit well by itself so definitely wouldn't have worked with a t-shirt.  It bugged me all day yesterday.  I was so flat when I returned I forgot to check.  Just now, yep, the single extra large, and easily over the t-shirt.  Shoulders probably exempt me from just a large, but I may be headed towards fitted!

I need to go to a good clothier.  I am way out of what had been my dress clothes.  By, say, six to eight sizes... no taking that much in.  Slacks, even shirts.  Oddly, the neck is the same... plus stiff.  ;p  I looked like a hobo or clown last time I tried to dress up, with enough extra material I could also have passed for a landbased sailing vessel.  A pair of slacks or two, an inexpensive intermediate suit, a couple of dress shirts, and maybe belts or suspenders.  I like loose shirts but there are serious limits.

On to a slow day.  Never did fold laundry or do dishes.  Without else, those should be easy enough.  If the boss shows today?  Some work in the garage and living room.  If not, just rest and light duty.  Cheers.
