Now I feel rough.

I got to things, and... that came with a price.

I got dinner going.  While at it, I sent water through the r.o. system.  Then turned kefir over.  I had two jars going, decided to go back to three.  No cream this week, which is fine, I... had two left.  One... wasn't smelling the best, but the other is still good.  I haven't been able to have coffee, with my nausea always on.  Coffee simply adds to it.  Having one now, not sure that is wise, but... there it is.

Bits and pieces of things were done, while getting food, water, and kefir going.  On my feet fifteen to twenty minutes.  Not sure I'll keep... whatever might be in there down.  May get a small dose of kefir in, see if that helps.  I am sure supper itself will help.  If I can make it to supper.

The doubling of compression, lighter on the inside, heavier outer, seems to be working okay, for now.  I consciously check for... problems.  Lack of sensation, too much pain in a particular area, and other things, even things I am not sure I understand, but might be from too much compression.  Even if my kidneys started hurting, I would... consider that.  Those haven't been as much of a problem, save when I eat really terribly for a few days running.  The medicine is what was hitting the kidneys?  At least consciously making them hurt, yes.

However, that bit of standing and walking and doing got to me.  It trebled the impulse to retch or worse.  The coffee isn't helping, but... there it is.  Then again, it isn't exactly hurting either.  The pasta water should be ready in about fifteen.  The sauce has pretty much been set and is just... holding.  The only thing I am missing is garlic bread, red wine, and parmesan reggiano, or one of the other real cheeses.  Not... all that expensive, these days.  I think the world economy is failing so fast, that quadruple charging is chasing customers away.  Some things are lowering in price.  Fair enough.  They overcharged for centuries.  Time is up.

Well... to relax a bit, then finish dinner shortly.  Perhaps some kefir.  That stuff really helps digestion, among other things.  One of the gentlest laxatives I have ever had.  Prunes will work, but they just... like a hammer?  Not... the pal type.  Bleh.  This acts so easily and softly, life is easier.  I'm surprised they don't try to get elders to eat it.  Ah, no, they just sell them, directly or through the government, pills.  Wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to graft what could be given cheaply.

Do you ever feel as if every organization, private and public, is run by money vampires?  Sucking every last penny out of, especially, the poor?  Using us until we are waste, then just burning us these days.  I want to be buried.  I hope it will happen, in it's time.  Fascism doing it's thing, otherwise.  And so many people want that?  I guess.  Taught to believe they aren't worth remembering.

Ah, the bell.  Pasta water should be ready.  Good day.  Oh... the thing about pasta water?  I use about a gallon and an half for a pound of past.  Just use enough water, you'll never need to add oil, or such.  If you don't have a big pot, do it in batches.  Yes, too much, for one person.  But...  Tonight I am going to try to use the recommended amount.  For me, about an ounce and an half.  Not... sure it will work, but curious.  Later.
