19:01, as I sit here.

I went to bed shortly after finishing morning chores and posting.  Perhaps 07:00, maybe 09:00, sometime in there.  I crashed hard.  I am not sure if things were starting to hurt, though I was numb.  The heat is getting to me.  Not that it is crushing me, more that it is slowly, over time, more and more, wearing me down.

I did wake, a few times, to a minor degree.  My body hurt so badly though.  It isn't necessarily my organs, but around them?  Just telling you what it feels like.  It might well be my organs, or just the stuff that holds them in place.  I have had doctors tell me organs don't hurt, and my brother tell me they most certainly do.  I believe myself and my brother.  But there were... a dozen aches and pains.  most around 4 to 6 on a 10 scale, a few which were worse.  From my feet to around organs, to ribs.

Certainly not the worst of painful days.  But a bit of a brutal reminder.  I haven't had pain for a while, not really hard stuff, or in lots.  So I... forget this thing.  If more numb than painless, which is why I have been crippled lately.  Still, better to be crippled and painless.  This is pretty harsh.

On the good side, while the upstairs and downstairs hits around 75, my little sleeping nook was around 70~72.  And, upon waking, it is about 70 out there, so I opened the downstairs.  I'll get to the upstairs, when I can.  I got out to check on critters.  Most of them.  Still four ducklings.  Which are large enough to get in the pool and feed bowls.  One rabbit was out of water... she must be goofing with the waterer.  And another was without a waterer.  I couldn't find it, either.  But food is good, and lasts days in the warmer weather.

I had been about to move the duck pool, somewhere flatter, so it would be fuller.  Glad I didn't.  The ducklings might not be able to get out, quite yet.  And, strangely, drowning is a common killer for ducklings.  Until they are a little larger, I will leave their pool right where it is at.

Tylenol... generic anyway.  I need some.  Oh, the roast should be taken care of shortly too.  I may pull some, heat it, and have a meal... when I can stand.  It's a rougher morning than I have had in a while.  At least I had a break from the pain.  I'm not sure if being used to it is better, or getting away from it only to have it come flooding back?  Though, being numb isn't much better, if that is all it is.  Bleh.

I haven't awaken so thirsty in a very long time.  I don't, usually, sleep that long anymore.  Oh well.  I need to make some of the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice drink.  It cuts through dry throat like magic.  Later.
