Waking with migraines for a week.

.

It tends to create an owly grumpiness that can't be beat.  Being the size of a grown black bear could be a problem.  I have been trained and had experience through pain, in more feral states, so it's not actually a general problem.  However, I would recommend against pushing too hard.  Though, you would have to push.  And the first thing encountered would be the equivalent of a roar or growl, and some gruffing.  That has spared even the defensive team of Iowa State's football team more trouble than they at first thought.

The migraines pass, usually by now.  Exertion, earlier in the day, can bring it back... along with the sweats... cold or hot depending on the environment, usually matching... so, cold sweats lately.  Sometimes, to check, or like a kid with a fork and electrical outlet just being a stubborn kid... for the third time, I do it anyway.

Not today.  Aspirin can help, sometimes.  Twice a week, maybe three times if I haven't used it in a while.  Almost out, again, through.  So today is the first shot at it.  But Doom, studies say nothing helps migraines!?!  Well, first, stuff studies.  How many applicants were merely hoping for free dope?  How skewed were the studies for or against any process over the others?  How poorly were the studies run, how badly were the statistics mangled by the incompetent, politically correct fops and their quota or alien hires?  About the only thing you can be sure about studies is that all their main results are incorrect.

I think my migraines are caused by physical issues, and aspirin eases those.  It's a slow chain reaction.  Even with caffinated aspirin, it takes from an half hour to two hours, at 2,000 mg, to work.  If it works.  Additional doses do nothing for several days after.  Yeah, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, and nausea, plus weird other... oddities... swirls of purple to blue... not seen... sensed or visualized?  Doesn't help with the nausea.

Getting better this morning.  Perhaps a bite.  Whether the nausea... hmm... soft right small portions of food help that.  Though most foods help.  Highly acidic or base are to be avoided, and greasy... though good fats are reasonable.  There is a huge difference between fatty and greasy.  I don't know what all they fry breakfasts with in most restaurants, but... that is both greasy and acidic?  Frying in good butter, real lard or tallow, isn't a problem.

Oh, right.  I went shopping, online, this morning.  Bits for my router, and odds and end.  As well, food.  Case lots.  I can sometimes get those locally, but I often miss the sales.  I did email the group which handles online shopping.  But there are so many things wrong, and it sounds like the pandemic may have stressfractured their system.  Still.  I may have to see if they can do larger lots.  By phone if the system won't work, or for me.

I realized my stored food is both dated and scant.  So I am restoring supplies as quickly as possible.  Ordering 12 cans of something was making me feel better... until I stepped out of the day.  I couldn't eat 12 cans of almost anything in one day.  But... what about over a month?  I would starve on what initially appears as a glut.  And, over a year?  That is one can a month!  Scant!

So...  fruits with no sugar added, tomatos of various sorts, corn, beats, peas, even various beans, in multiple case lots.  It won't provide even a can a day for a year, but perhaps three cans a week, every other week?  It is a start.  I need to go through what else is down there, slowly replacing what is dated or consumed, adding a few things, changing out a few others.  But it has started.

Right or wrong, true or false, real, imagined, political or even geopolitical, Wuhan virus is upon us, may be returning, and will probably keep returning.  Just understand, if dems actually do destroy Trump with the charade aspect of this pandemic?  After forcing the masks, they will force you back to work.  They, like the Chinese, care nothing for people.  Does Trump?  He is a businessman.  But considers all assets, including you, and risks to assets.  I absolutely support his take, though not the leach of a doctor he seems saddled with.  Most Republicans, however, might as well be democrats.  Anyway, build at least a small stock.  Maybe, if you can, with a small supply of extra.  You aren't alone... or you are all alone.  Your choice.

For the next few months, I will be building my supply.  I may even try to make and freeze jerky, can various meats, and dehydrate veggies if I can find local growers later this summer.  But it is a cold early summer... one can hope.  And pray.  Both of which allows more than simply living on bread alone.  Highly recommended.  If it is all you have, and I have been there, it... is enough.
