Dreadful.

.

The lower back is still rough.  Some of it is from sleeping on the floor, some of it is from not being able to sleep, then crashing... so not rolling while sleeping on the ground.  The latter is the majority.  So even if I had an ac working in my bedroom it wouldn't matter, unless I could get it to cool the rest of the cave.  I... haven't had luck with that to date.

Duck coop was finally cleaned out today.  My help did half the work, though I'll say maybe a bit more.  In any case, without help there is no way I could have seen it to completion.  My back was starting to kill me, on top of the passive general stuff of late. While the physical component was a great boon, seeing the task to completion was the more important.

Kidney areas flash pulses of pain.  Sometimes the jugulars and big leg veins hurt, pulse, waking me to sirens of pain.  Kidney areas hurt even when awake, the other pains are more when lying down, often when sleeping... especially when not sleeping regularly.  I don't think it is my kidneys, but who knows.

The grass is looking much better.  It is growing well as well.  I have the chairs set up, and a table ready if i make room.  Perhaps a puzzle up there would be good.  Do they even make real puzzles anymore.  It's too bad AA isn't around.  A mean girl, but a resourceful one.  I might have one or several around, but I live in a memory maze.

I may set the cot up, see if that might work for when I can't sleep enough.  I'll put the ducks up, then attempt to read or else upstairs, in order to cool enough to sleep a bit better, or even nap, after the front yard can start taking water.  Trying to stay on top of things... failing.  Medication, sleep, insulin and that, pain...  I'll keep at it.

Later.
