A bit before 17:00 anyway.

Waking was difficult.  At least getting to sleep wasn't.  I feared going up, laying down, to all of a sudden realize I shouldn't have laid now.  Then, not being able to get up, be stuck there with internal bleeding or some such.  I really hit hard.  Sleep was easy, as it turned out.  The aspirin took care of all the mild pains remaining, throughout the sleep.

I am waking feeling it.  Little and bigger pains everywhere.  Just getting out of bed without invoking a charlie horse in my leg was a trick but I did manage it.  Then again, I was staying vigilant when rising, for any sharp or wrong pain.  Oddly, the mechanical process of getting out of bed was the easiest it has been in weeks.  I don't always get that.

A shower, first thing.  I have the last of the dishes on hold, which means in the tub.  I had to drain and scrub those a bit first.  Oh, it's... been a while.  I haven't been functioning well in any case, the tree just was one more thing... if the biggest.  Pretty beat today, and sore, and as I said I hurt.  Places I didn't realize were even touched, yesterday, hurt today.  Some don't even show as damaged.  Weird, but... I'll happily suffer that considering the options.

Oh, yea, I didn't use the peppermint soap!  I have so many little nicks, cuts, scrapes, burns, and combinations that it would have been a near-death by a thousand cuts... revisited!  I put lotion on thick, after.  It might help wounds heal?  It adds and keeps moisture in the skin, anyway.  What a kick!  I'm telling you, I feel better.  If I might not be able to stand for long, maybe not even stay awake for long.  We will see.

I let the ducks out, before I went to bed.  So, all good.  They have plenty of, if dirty, water.  I couldn't fight my way through to the water source, even to turn it on.  That'll be a priority.  Still, muddy water, ducks?  Like they even notice.  Strange critters, but it is what they are.  Later.
