Ouch!

.
.
Every main muscle group, from the waste up, still hurts.  Just getting out of bed hurts.  All week.  Had hoped I would be over it by now.  Nope!  I tried not to complain, but I've had enough.  I'll take painpills today.  Even getting out of bed hurt.  I was hoping a little more sleep would cause improvement.  Nope, to that either.  I finally just gave up and got up.  Yes, I could sleep more.  I have learned, that with pain, sometimes more sleep will help.  I just don't think so today.  I gave it until late afternoon.  Then again, I wasn't to be until about 06:00.  Almost.  Maybe, by the time I actually tucked in, it was a bit after.  Something like that.

Even so, I'll hit dishes shortly.  Then a shower.  And, if those things work out, and possibly after a break, I may go out and work on the woodpile.  I don't WANT to work on the wood, cutting and piling it.  But I also don't want to leave that out this winter.  And, I want to mow and water the area on which the wood is setting.  With a riding lawnmower, that is possible.

Well, and maybe pull the fencing today.  I'll get the trimmer out, and do a bit of cutting near the base, so as to get them loosened.  Just a small area stuck, but it is well and truly stuck.  I kept thinking, perhaps, the problem was I was tired from the other work I had done, just needed to hit it fresh.  Tried that several days, to no luck.  So, yes, trimmer.  It isn't that difficult.  I may hit it first, even before cutting, just to get my muscles warmed more lightly.

Today or tomorrow, but I am hoping today.

Yes, if feels like I have torn my muscles well.  Which, is a good thing... IF... they heal quickly enough.  The tears are not healing.  Imagine working out hard and well only to have your muscles remain in the torn state for a week or two before slowly mending?  Right, that is exactly what it is.  Having a bad heart, even on medicine, sucks.  Sometimes it will heal muscles, and quickly, sometimes it won't.  If it doesn't, it leaves a guy very vulnerable.  I know how damned dangerous the world is.  I don't like to be open, or more so, to an attack.  It's like Superman, only his body, from time to time, produces kryptonite that takes him down.  He can't know when, or for how long, or how severe the outage will be.  Yea, it's like that.

Oh, the neighbor wasn't so fond of the cheese.  And, it was a bit tight.  The reason I liked it so much last time, was because I was comparing it to even 'tighter' cheese.  I liked it, but it was harder.  Still, I had some more, but with dices of salami.  And?  And that made a world of difference.  Sometimes, when you are eating some things, a bit of comparing and contrasting brings out the best of both.  That was the case with these.

And, I was a bad boy again, last night.  But, it wasn't just a temptation.  I wanted a medium to try the gruyere.  Pasta!  With butter, gruyere, and parmesan reggiano, salt, and white pepper.  Oh, my.  I don't care as much for p.r., itself.  Or even buttered pasta, if that isn't too bad.  But, with the gruyere shaved, and white pepper fresh cracked?  Oh, yes, oh yes.  I... can't wait, now, to try it with eggs of some sort.  

It is different.  It is soft.  But it has a wonderful offering.  I may finish the spaghetti noodles today, but with just butter, gruyere, and white pepper.  Oh, a side note?  I really doubted white pepper would be any different than most other peppers.  And, most other peppers are just, mostly, from what I have found, just different colors.  Not so the white pepper corns.  There is something delightfully special about it.  I will keep that on hand for very specific dishes.  Plus, it bends into white sauces and soups without black specks.  Just offering a bit of advice.  And, it lasts well, doesn't take much, and isn't too expensive.  I like sharing new foods, spices, or else.  I love it when others try new things.  Though tastes, of the literary, artistic, and culinary, varies greatly.  And quality and freshness makes a huge difference.  So if you buy it from the dollar store, don't even assume you are getting actual white pepper.  It may just be a phase of black pepper, because it is cheaper.  Or even the Chinese just painting or dying black pepper.  Just... a warning.  Though I don't trust store stuff, I go online and look for more legit sellers.  Sometimes I trust amazon, if they are honest about where it is from (no Chinese food to the ability I can believe, which is limited at amazon).  I've done what I may.  But, there.

Anyway... on to... waking.  Good... afternoon already is it?  Ugh.
