Actually...

I went to bed right after posting that last post.  I couldn't keep my eyes open.  So, dishes weren't done, trash didn't go out, boxes were not broken down... nothing else happened.  And, I went right to bed.  I fell into bed, I would guess somewhere between 18:00 and 19:00.  I am waking at 05:00.

I slept hard and block.  I started waking, toward the end of the night, say around 03:00 and then hourly to every half hour, give or take.  All I knew was 03:00 was too early, but I didn't want to sleep to, say, 07:00.  A rough goal area rather than a specific time.  As well, I wanted to feel like I was rested.  I have been pushing.

Today is a light day.  But that does include dishes.  As well, getting trash out.  I don't think there is enough recycling to get to the curb, but more can be put in the bin?  Hmm, I could fill with broken down boxes, the ones that will fit.  Breaking more boxes down, pulling things from the kitchen and sorting, and some work upstairs.

The bathroom cleaning?  I'll wait until Monday.  That is a bigger job.  I need to rest a bit before tackling that.  It, actually, is a dry run for the kitchen.  It is about a quarter of the effort and size, at least.  So, if it takes two days to do the bathroom properly, it will take a week in the kitchen.

I have learned, that slow, methodical, even light, work will chip it down.  It is a matter of doing an hour or two a day, every day, at least.  As well, not just shifting piles.  Everything must begin to have a place, find it's given place if it has one, or be stored or disposed.  That part takes more time than the rest.  Cleaning isn't so bad, if the kitchen floors are rough, they are sort of doable.  It is the sorting, storing, and else that is beastly.

Very light aches and stiffness.  It has been a long, I would guess, ten days of daily grinding on the house.  A few of the chores were rather, for me, physically strenuous.  Getting case-lots of food downstairs, for example.  Not too many of those heavier chores, but enough to have kept it spicy.  I have certainly broken a sweat two to three times a day, every day.  Though, in my shape and condition, that doesn't take much.  It does take something, but not what it would take a youngling.  Though how many people my age still break a sweat is another question.

Lungs are actually a bit burned.  More from work over time, and in their shape.  However, I have lost almost all the fluid which had accumulated in my legs.  I would guess, if that is gone, my torso is dry?  I sort of guess that the torso fills when legs are full.  Then again, maybe the torso empties last?  I don't think so though.

As mentioned, whether I am losing weight or not, I have slimmed.  My belly remains fairly similar.  But my sides have lost a lot of extra.  Fat?  Water?  Both?  I can't tell you.  All I know is there is a goodly amount of previous extra which is just gone.  Still fat, but my body is lining up about as good as my home.  A long way to go on both, but... something is starting.  Either things are gearing up for life or death.  Odd how I can't tell, and for me, there isn't a lot of difference?  Meh.

Later.
