A start.

.
.
Dishes were reset.  A hot soak.  I have a dishpan ready to be filled with hot water, to be used to clean the counters... so dishes can be done.  I should take another dishpan, for the flatware currently in the way... needing washed.  Teeth have been brushed.  I had fallen down on things, including that.

Pretty much, everything I had become good at managing had stopped.  Showering, brushing teeth, and hair... why brush hair if it isn't clean.  Not a willful failure, simply... I couldn't do things.  The only things I was able to manage, and only just barely... pushing it sometimes... was animal feeding, watering, and other care.

Still difficult.  I started getting back to grooming a few days ago... a week ago... two weeks ago?  But it was pretty hit and miss.  I've been doing better the last few days, but it's still not quite up to par.  Getting there.  If I can get the counters done, and do the main set of dishes, then take a shower, that will be a couple of cycles of most things, done well and timely.  Closer.

Medicine is still difficult.  Though part of it is due to the cold weather.  It is April 29th, and it is 35 degrees, F, out there.  That is the low, probably, but that is a rather chill low for this time or year.  And, that is pretty typical... lately... not normally.  Something like that.

I did get the waterers all set up as well.  Food is ready, for when it is time to feed the critters.  I may be able to do a few things else, this morning.  Nothing fancy, just hook up the mangers, and fill those.  Perhaps set up a few others as well.  And, finally, just maybe, get the other cages arranged, with feeders and waterers.  Then get bunnies out to them.  I simply haven't been able, lately, to do much.

Ah, and blood sugar was better.  Well, I mean, it was rather high, fasting, in the 290 range.  That was because it keeps dropping and I keep having to go overboard to keep the crash from damaging me.  However, with a smaller dose of insulin, and food along the way, blood sugar is ~160 later into the morning.  I can handle that.  Plus, it doesn't seem to be further crashing.

I am having another kefir, after resetting the dishes and filling the waterers.  Even doing just a bit of work can cause a crash.  Things have been strange, that way, lately.  Those notions have always been true, but they weren't so severe.  I wonder if it is the cold, along with restarting medicine... the heart medicine... that is causing problems?

Still, it's... doing well.  I hope to get out and get started with the counters in about an hour or two.  If I can do that, dishes shouldn't be difficult.  Then a shower.  Then, after a break, perhaps getting the last of the dishes set up to a soak.  Who knows what else might be possible yet today.  Later.
