Afternoon, and a good one.

Had to check the weather.  It is 66 out there!  It's been a while, mostly in the low 50s, as highs, for the last near month?  A bit stormy, or at least it is on the horizon, always, lately.  Still, okay.  I can definitely enjoy being out in this, IF I could get out in this.  So tired.  And, really, even this is chilly, as I have started medicine.  When that stuff works, I am much more fragile to the cold, if less so to the heat.  I more average typical human tolerances, with a slight... actually still major tilt to preferring and tolerating the cold.  Mostly.  I suppose, at this point, age has to be added in as a factor.  So, yea, compared to many guys my age, especially in my condition, I can handle some serious cold.  I just can't do all that much in it.

Mostly gaming.  But, I am still awake.  A few hot foods/drinks.  But I think that is it.  The next will be a salad?  Yes.  I may crumble the remaining sausage, from yesterday, after heating it.  I made a red wine vinegar vinaigrette, just... so.  Which would do quite nicely on said salad.  Maybe one more fatted coffee.  I missed cream this weekend, a lot.  

I probably won't do chores.  With it this warm, and feeding late yesterday, they should still be good on even food, and definitely water.  But, I will try to get to chores at sunup, or at least when the temp is above freezing.  I just can't.  So tired.  Cool spring days, partly cloudy enough to make it feel like winter, just... tired.

I am adding water pills to my regimen, extra, for a while.  Water is collecting in my lower legs.  Oddly, not in my feet, or torso.  Just... above the ankles, below the calf, in vast amounts.  Not sure what is up with that.  Even compression socks haven't been helping.  I'll... work on it.

Oh, I did check finances.  I am broke, boys.  I had just enough to do very few things.  Had to put some things back, at the store.  I... just didn't have enough.  Then again, some things have skyrocketed.  Gruyere cheese went for an already steep $6 a pack, to nearly $11? or was it $12?  Crazy.  I can't do that.  Certainly not in a tight month.  

I had to think, exactly, about every item.  Consciously, carefully.  Worse, nearly two weeks left.  Tight, boys and girls.  Squeaky tight.  *sigh*  I'll be more careful this coming month.  And I still have a little in savings, very little, just... in case.  And, I have money loaned coming back to that.  But, for now, I'm... breathing carefully.

Still, I am quite grateful.  I have groceries, enough to get me through.  I will even have meat on the table, and some good veggies.  I have cat food, rabbit feed, water, and cat litter.  My house is warm, or I could at least go with the cold... if I wouldn't do much.  I'm good.  And, this is the worst it has been for a while.  Gotta go through lean times, from time to time, if just to... see reason? understand? get in touch with humility?

I still have extra bills this coming month.  I am sure of $30, and maybe $110 to catch up on utilities... which I see are in arears a bit again, Maybe by then $40 to $60 in dairy... if cream is back ever well and eggs.  But, not like $400 overspending, not paying attention.  Plus, other bills from the past, and else.  And, I will be cutting spending to just a few things this month.  I need protein powder.  Going through it rather quickly.  But, I don't mind, for what it is profiting.  Worth the cost, for certain.  I should have enough for another month?  But, I want to begin having that on hand, in stock, for several months.  Not sure how long it lasts, don't want to get too deep in.  But, it is very good for me, and to have on hand in case they jack prices.  The world is getting spooky out there.

Blood sugar dropped from 192 fasting to 150... without insulin yet today.  I don't think I'll take any, not with salad?  Or, maybe a small amount?  Perhaps 10 cc's of the fast acting, with food?  Yes, probably.  I'm trying to push it.  But... gently enough it doesn't kick.  Still, that's a nice drop, me doing nothing.  The only reason the fasting was that high was that I forgot to take it, again, last night.  I'm working on it.  Later.
