Nearly miraculous.

.

Miraculous?  I'd... have to say so.  Started late, moving slow, but when I got the groove...

First, of course, a shower.  No big thing there, but... it... took a while and a lot.  Then on to the grainery.  I picked up enough for... a while.  Twelve bags of various feed.  No help there, but it was close.  At home... I decided to unload what I could.  I was... nervous.  Six bags out back.  Three of those mixed into the active feed barrel.  Then a rabbit feed in on the back porch.  Was getting low.

Not sure I could go on, but... was... feeling okay?  So, the last five bags into the garage, hoisted a bit in hopes rodents can't get to it... or... easily.  Hmm.  Really?  I... think it is the kefir.  I really do.  That, alone, might not even have been possible for the last year.  Well, on to town, for a bit of grocery shopping, and else.  That is that for spending, it looks like.  I might be able to eek through the month.

As well, something I had heard about.  A two in one 18 gauge nailer and stapler, for ~$30... plus expendables.  Still, worth it for me.  So I don't have to beg the neighbors.  Does it work well?  I will find out.  As well, they had some bigger screwdrivers!  I have been hankering for those for a while.  Their biggest was in a set, but the ala carte were far bigger than any I have currently.  Why big screwdrivers?  They are the next best thing to bigger hammers... from deconstruction to mechanics to... other things.

Finally, on my way home, I wanted more milk.  My kefir is doing well, but, currently, I am eating it almost faster than I can make it.  I will do so for another week or two, then, hopefully, settle into a lower rate of consumption.  But the stuff, I'm telling you, is doing incredible things!  On almost any given day, for the last year, any single part of any single project would have done me in for a week.  I just pulled off four or five days of work.  

Just finding the milk farm, on my own, at dusk and beyond, was more than I would have attempted.  I even saw the sign, not from a mile away, but from the turnoff.  Couldn't have read it, five feet away, but I can see it a couple miles away!  :)  Oh, what a day.  I may even take another shower yet tonight.  Then set dishes up?  I can hope.

I need to call the V.A., make sure a blood test is still available.  And they called to set up another appointment with the doc?  Okay.  I'll call about that, too.  The earliest I can get in, for blood work, is Monday.  I... am a bit shot.  But that doesn't mean I am quitting.  I am hoping to, possibly, do some work tomorrow on the feeder box.  And maybe some other parts of the cages.  As well, perhaps, set up the outbuilding boxes, putting a few in if I can get to that.

Ah, but... quite a good day.  I may not be able to do anything tomorrow... or for a few days.  If I can, I will.  That is why I don't plan on a trip to SL City for a while.  I'll do what little things I can, or rest if really needed.  But, yea.  It pleases my little dark heart to push until I bleed.  My heart is sore tired.  My muscles are all burning.  My neck and shoulders are stiff, to the point of starting up a headache.  Pleasing.  And, all any glory garnered from said is to Him.  I... think it pleases Him.  Amen.
