Awake, anyway.

.

I actually didn't get down until 22:30.  Which is fine.  Earlier is better, it just isn't happening.  I have the alarms set for 06:00 and 08:00, just for a little extra help, incentive, impetus.  I turned the first alarm of immediately.  Wasn't ready to wake or hear noises.  Still, it gave me an early warning.  

Between dreaming and fussing, waking wouldn't happen until 7:59!  Ah, but beating the alarm by one minute is good enough.  I really didn't want to get up.  The sun is out, but it doesn't feel like a nice day.  A quick check shows it to be 24~26 F out there.  April 1st!  No, the joke isn't on you, however, it's on me.

The medicine seems to be both holding me back, a bit, and doing it's job.  Sometime last night my lungs broke open?  I don't mean that, mostly, in a bad way.  Turning and tossing, and things broke loose in there.  NOW my lungs sound wet.  But really shouldn't.  I don't have swelling, from fluid buildup, in my legs or most of my feet... just the very tips of my feet have some fluid.

Perhaps it had just packed into my lungs.  It did make finding a comfortable way to sleep difficult, sides and even back just weren't comfortable.  Had to keep rolling to get better breathing.  Gurgling and gargling in there.  I am hoping, with meds on track, that it will get out now that it is broken up.  Though I may need to add more water pills.  Which means more potassium pills.  Well, and watching for dehydration.

With dehydration, I am finding, drinking better is superior to drinking more.  If I am too thirsty, from the water pills, then adding electrolytes, and assorted minerals, helps more than drinking vast volumes of tea.  There are limits, but...  Oh, and apple cider vinegar, mixed with lemon juice, sea salt, and water?  A couple literal shots of that actually replaces, say, a gallon of tea, maybe two.  That quart I made is still partially full, well a quarter anyway.  I drink it whenever I am feeling extremely thirsty.  Kills that craving immediately.

I... may double my water pill for the rest of the week.  The lungs really were wet, too wet.  Coughing up type of wet.  No red spray when I cough, but it's in there.

Today?  Pretty tired.  Medicine is actually taking some limiting effect.  More, the cold is having a dulling affect.  I could go back to sleep.  Chores, though, and a bit of business to arrange.  Plus, I am going to attempt more work today.  Looks like I'm back to fighting to work again.  Still, I've got such a solid headstart.  I don't want to surrender that, and think I can... make greater inroads.  Organizing along the way.  I want the bathroom cleared, cleaned, and then kept that way.  I'm almost there.

Later.
