A shower, finally.

.

.

I have been wanting to shower for... a while.  Just haven't gotten to it.  After sending the text, I was expecting help to arrive later.  But it arrived quickly.  So, I showered, didn't want to be even more off-putting than usual.  Or... as usual?  :p  And, I was right.  Just as I had gotten out, and was half dressed, the doorbell rang.  So, I rushed to it.

We jabbered just a bit.  He asked if I would help.  To shovel areas his machine wouldn't get.  I... couldn't.  The pills, heck, getting a shower was tough.  So, he went on.  However, after thinking, I... got dressed, and texted him I would help.  He was just across the street, doing another people's drive.

Now, all he needed there was... my bum.  He had me sit on the back of his machine, to give it weight, through some of it.  Though it didn't work for all of it.  Then, he had a bit left of his driveway.  One of the drives he usually does was already done, and he was going to do his sister's, but his b-i-l was out at it.  So... we didn't have much to do.  I did get to do a little bit of shoveling, and that... really wore me.

The thing is, I got my breath back fairly quickly.  And, am feeling better.  Would like to get to town, asked him if he would go along.  Always good to have a sidekick.  Maybe.  We still have a bit of work to do, to get he plow on my machine.  I may not be able to get the frontage area, but I can get the driveway.  And would like to open the path to the outbuilding.  Well, and there is the sidewalk, to the front door, for delivery people.  I'll probably salt that too.  It's a tough gig, I like to be good them, as I am able.

Back just in time to have breakfast at 10:00.  Which... had been made, and left.  I had tried, since I knew I would be out, to get breakfast beforehand, but... it was time to go before it was ready.  All good.  Medicine, vitamins, electrolytes, and a fresh extra water, plus breakfast, down and working.  No insulin.  But I may take some with, and have a Wendy's burger, two actually, doubles, on lettuce.  It may not be perfect keto, but it is keto and does work.  As I said, as I go into intermittent fasting, I am allowing more calories, and heavier fat.  More so when I go to six and four hour increments.  Then, in time, I will sort calories.  Though, I have noticed, calories sort themselves, especially with higher fats and shorter eating times.  It... gets boring, and anything else other than keto tastes less tasty, so... it... relaxes.

Ah, and I did get on the scale.  I am right at 276.  A bit... less than supposed.  I expected to be between 285 and 300.  Not... optimal, but I have had worse.  Remember or not, I used to way 385.  So... yeah...  I have... already lost most of the weight I need to lose.  Just trimming the beefer a slight?  *grins*  No bull?  Or... all bull?  Depends on who you ask?  A slight indeed.  I have 36 to 56 to take off, and cutting off the top ugly fifty or so pounds isn't an option.  Going headless really doesn't work, even for some horsemen.

In an hour, or two, or so I was told.  Then into town.  I'd like to look at my account.  If possible, waterers and more feed, a stop at the grocer, maybe two stores.  Small things, better spice, salad and veggies, and maybe look over the chops... see if there is any favored meats on sale... just one or two, and maybe burger... if it's less than $4 a pound.  Ugh.  And a lunch out.  I've been a good boy.  And, yea, I... can do that.

Well, the first day showered, and out, in a long time.  I just heard there is a neighbor who doesn't get out much.  Thought about visiting.  Been off about it.  May have to go say hello sometime.  Not sure I'd be welcome, but you never know.  For me, just to have someone to talk to once in a while, a real human, might be okay.  Later.
