Rough, better.

Rough, as noted.  Things hurt, hands tingle, swelling is easing, but...  Nothing is good, it's just not terribly bad.  The girls have been fed, litter managed.  I refreshed their bit water container this morning, so that's good.  Will do it again, if I can get to a shower later... or even not.  The ducks were counted and shut in.  I need to eat shortly.  Other than that, rather getting ready to work.

It will be late, to work, but... it's what I can do, when I can.  

Oh, I've been trying to keep up on clothing.  Now that I remembered how hard she worked on spots, and how little luck I have with it, I decided to go proactive.  After a bit of research.  Whether blood, or as last night fat droplets from heated chicken, an immediate splash of soap and then rubbed, with water, then soaked overnight.  It looks like that really does work.  It worked with blood, even on a white shirt, handled before it had time to even think about drying... even in this desert.  That has been spun and drained, then washed (on cold of course), and is now drying... on low.  I checked before putting it in, but it looks pretty good.  No spots.  Gotta be careful though.

Yeah, a bit of chicken.  It's what I've got for now.  Well, and fatted tea?  A dose of insulin, but not a big one.  I have to be cautious when starting insulin.  That stuff is potent, and while I might drift heavily without insulin, I snap back pretty quickly.  I am limiting my highest setting to ~20 cc's, and with that, only twice a day... plus the slow acting.  And, only with very cautious testing, plus at least three to four hours between doses.  Which means one meal without dosing.  As I am able to lower the dose, as I get to ~8 to ~10 cc's, then, if needed, I may dose per meal.

If I can get things right, and going again, and take some time off from larger efforts, I can get back to eating correctly.  Then, again, I can probably get to less and less insulin.  I was hitting 150 fasting, and dropping, without insulin... there for a while.  What threw me?  Ah... the first batch of Halloween candy, purchased early.  Yeah... temptations are... strong... sometimes.  Especially when working harder in the heat, or in recovery.  Anything that weakens the will.

Later.
