Frigid out there!

Chores, the towels on the line.  The chores went well.  That is usually pretty quick, plus the ducks had already been released, fed, and watered.  So it was just the rabbits.  Plus, it seems, where I was with the chores, the winds or breezes depending on your definition could quite get me.

Putting the towels up was another thing entirely.  Two huge bath sheets, and a bunch of kitchen towels of various sorts were all hung out.  To say it was sharp would be a minimum.  The sun is out, mostly.  It just doesn't matter with those winds/breezes.  I had thought it warmer earlier.  After finishing, with chilled to the bones fingers... in part due to the towels still being a bit wet of course, I checked the thermometer.  It's dropped to more like 44 F, and with the winds... which are cold, if oddly from the south... say south east somehow?  Well, that made it quite cold out there.

After I warm, I'll refresh the waterers and get working on the bathroom.  Warm and take a break.  Not a lot of heavy work, but the cold takes it out of me just as if it was heavier work.  I should have plenty to get to more today.  The bathroom, to finish I hope.  More in the kitchen.  Boxes and supplies sorted, stored, and broken down.  And work upstairs.  

As for supper?  I may simply have more beef stew.  Even plain, it really isn't too bad... with enough seasoning.  Other spices cut the need for as much salt.  Trying to be careful with salt.  At some point, it really does maintain fluids.  But, with keto, I need more than average.  So... it's... a bit of a trick, a balance that has to... be cautiously watched.  A trick, when I can't always stay aware... or work myself to exhaustion then can't.  Ugh.

Ah, blood pressure?  After three doses of the non-heavy medicine, mostly, is 165/114 with a pulse of 89?  That is a massive dip.  Say -44/-16 and -15 pulse, after three doses, or a day and an half of medicine?  That's still high enough they might consider ER, for a human.  Still, look at where it is, from where it was.  Interesting.  From this, if I can't handle the hard stuff, I... might be able to cut back to this?  Even this is better, by far, than over 200's.  And it will improve.  I have it set for a week before I start the heavy stuff.  Curious what it will be next Tuesday... or Monday?  Yes, I think I start the heavy stuff Tuesday.  Ugh.

A bit of a rest.  Later.
