A shower, if it took a while.

.

No shave, just couldn't do that extra.  Had to just dump the water from the dishes, and move those out in the tubs they were soaking in.  All good.  They will go back in to rinse, as a first task tomorrow.

My hands burned.  That didn't make sense, at first.  They have been swollen to the point of non-usability for a week, give or take.  I haven't gripped anything that tightly in a while.  Still a bit swollen, I would guess.  So, yea, okay.  Oh, and it looks like stigmata might be returning.  I asked to be relieved of it, and was... for a while.  If God has a reason for something, so it goes, and so be it.  I won't ask for relief again, if I will moisturize and tend as well as possible.  it is mild, currently, but it's been slowly getting "worse" over the last three to six weeks.  Very slowly, but... I can't escape noticing, at this point.  So be it.

Oh, two showers in a day, three over two days, I'm in a little bit of heaven!  Another shower first thing, and a shave, I hope.  Then setting the dishes up.  I did, finally, remember to put meat out the thaw.  Burger patties, a pork roast, and... something else...  As well, I had to catch up on tea.  I like to keep four half gallons in the fridge, cooled and ready.  Plus my half gallon drinking vessel... a giant sippy cup, but piss off!  It is the most convenient way to consume.  Anyway, I had gotten behind a couple of half gallons.  Not now.

I am up very late.  Ducks are in, the girls were fed,  I have had a snack or two, but with as many carb tabs as I ate, I am assuming blood sugar will be shot for a bit.  I guess I have to take even less.  I did just change out vials, and I did use them a bit long.  I hate using them for less than a full month.  They say 28 days, and I think, by potency, they aren't joking.  Will... try to give up my obsessive compulsive tendencies from now on.

So very good.  I am so ready for bed.  A few aches, and the burning in the hands, but mostly pretty good.  I should sleep extremely well tonight.  I am getting there.  Just waiting for the water jug to fill...  I like keeping a jug of r.o. filled and ready for the next tea batch.  And I still haven't inflated the bladder, or tried, so that it holds as much as it should.  So... for now, trickle filling an half gallon takes about 16 minutes.  Yea, it's a... minor science.  Actually engineering.  I remember fill and flow rates, plus pass-through and other sorts of filters in engineering courses.

Good night.
