Absolutely brutal.

.
.
I have been trying to get out of bed since a bit after seven.  Didn't wake until a bit after 15:00.  Had to get feed.  Bunnies didn't get fed last night.  One rare miss is okay, but beyond that, no.  So, I have been pushing, since then, to get up.  I kept hitting a wall of pain.  My arms feel battered, my internals are messed up... feel like they are bruised... hurt.

It hurt, so much, in so many places, that... I didn't think I'd make it.  Once I got out of bed I laser focused on getting a shower, getting dressed, and getting on the road.  It took twenty minutes.  I ignored the pain.  I... just... got going.  I didn't think of painkillers, that would have brought my mind around to the pain.  I was playing hide and seek with the pain.  Hiding well.

I got to the feed store, in, paid, then to pickup.  That's a lot of feed, a lot of weight.  Help getting it in, getting it out was on me.  I will have to get more at the first of the month, but this will last a month, as things stand.  When I pair down the herd, I may get down to this lasting a few months, even three as I have it set.

I had been buying two types of egg feed and one type of higher protein grower feed.  Now I have two of each, pellets and loose grain.  They all cost about the same.  For rabbits, there is only one type of feed, so that is that.  Heck of a lot of weight to move with an screamingly aching body, but... done.  Then I fed the animals, right away.  Or it wouldn't have gotten done.  Now that it is set up, a second round of chores, later this evening, is easy.  Ugh.

So, now as I sit and cool, acetaminophen, a bottle of cold water, and blogging.  Yes, I do hurt.  One shoulder feels like it was hit with a baseball bat, the other bicep and tricep feels pulled, my torso feels like it was worked over by a pro or semipro, and my legs still hurt if not quite so bad.  Less like jello, more like... springs, but rusty springs.  Still some creaks in them.

Still, I... got to things.  I am pleased with what was done.  It hurt, it still hurts, it began to hurt even worse.  But... the painkillers might be able to help.  It is only 58 out there, but feels so warm?  Very strange.  Very odd for certain.  Oh, great, a heachache... from the exhertion?  Probably.

Still, I... took care of the animals, did my duty, that's all I can ask.  Later.
