Splendid, people.

A shower.  For the first time in months?  probably... I was able to take a shower without almost falling down, leaning on the walls, panting, and burning out.  A long shower, too.  My hair is clean, and sorted!  My skin is refreshed and clean.  When I get to clean, I clean to the bone, buttons and elbows and else.

I am cleaner than clean.  And I am still not exhausted.

Eyes are still a bit bleary.  I really think it is mostly, say, dust on them?  I don't blink a lot, I live in a semi-desert highland, I am running, often these days, a slight dip into dehydration... it just adds up.  With everything improving, I may speak with my doctor about this too.  If he will do something, cool.  If not, I won't bother with specialists.  They require in-office, which means mask, and haranguing about the non-vax.  No.  Still, worth a shot.  Even otc recommendations would be fine... what to look for, avoid.

I am absolutely amazed I was able to stand, well, strongly, the whole time.  Oh, well, I did a pirouette or three, which almost caused me to lose some balance.  But, even then, I was amazed.  I just... felt so alive, that spinning to get this, or that, done seemed a breeze, and mostly, usually, was.  Not true ones, but... rather amazing for a bear sized chap.  Excited, like a bird in a bird bath, I... simply was going with the flow.

I scraped a box earlier.  Had to patch it up.  I tried one of the patches recently obtained, for my medical kit.  That and a single portion pouch of triple anti-biotic cream.  Perfect.  Am glad to have those.  I was worried it would come off in the shower.  On, still, without any sign of failure!  Very nice.

I set the pillow to another go.  It might be done, or at least finished on the cycle.  If so, I'll check it.  If still moist in there, I may give it another shot.  I will turn the heat down, though.  Just so many cycles on... what is the setting? sanitize?  Something.  But it does well with the whites I use it with.  Still, down to medium, and one or two more runs should see the thing dry... maybe for tonight if I can keep up.

What a shower.  If I can do it again tomorrow, I will.  Absolutely delicious.  Even the dying like being clean.  I may live terribly, but it isn't by choice.  Wonderful.
