Ouch!

No, not my foot.  I am being very careful with that, and compression has been my friend.  No heat or cold packs, if compression may lead more to slight overheating.  Just... keeping it packed, in packing, under-packing, packed in a shoe.  It has worked so well, not just for the swelling from the break, but from the water I was beginning to carry, that I did it on the other foot.

Thirsty as can be.  Pulling away from carbs, back to meat.  When even a bit of cool roast tastes good... but the price!?!  Chicken has gone up, while becoming sketchy while at it.  Chicken is difficult, in the best of times.  But when they are doing some fake chicken pox thing, it gets worse.

I have heard they are looking into giving vaccines, or whatever that word means on any given day, through vaccinating other animals.  Not good.  Any bureaucrat who has publicly suggested this needs to be tarred and feathered, and have that done until they definitely don't ever say such things again.  I'm surprised it hasn't happened.  God only knows, if it doesn't, what will happen.  They'll put it in fast foods, deliver it in fine wines, put it in baby wipes.  And, for those who agreed to get it?  They'll get it five times what they agreed.  Imagine if they could seriously get it in raw veggies and meats, there would be no way out.  And don't you dare call me a conspiracy theorist, knowing everything I have suggested, and more, has proven true.  You did hear, they admitted they didn't even test whether the "vaxx" prevented transmission, while telling you it definitely would?  Doesn't that tell you, that had nothing to do with their valuation of the vaxx?  What was it for, if not for what they initially told you?  That... hole is deeper than the one Alice knows.

Oh, the pain?  Nasal block headache.  Reminds me when I would have to dive, deep, and wasn't quite ready.  Did we use saline, to try to open up, before a deep dive?  Even, not sure if I really did those, I... think so.  But, the saline wouldn't always work.  And we would end up with what feels like a bruised face.  Hmm... a powerful low must have moved in.  Ouch.  I'll take painpills, double, for the foot and the headache.  I've had worse.  Well, the foot isn't throbbing, but it does put out a constant push of pain.  I can... keep it at bay, but not with another heave pain/ache.  Then it's like wrestling two tigers, instead of one.  Can't win, even a single tiger.  But, can keep it from hurting me more, on my own.  Not two.  Not three.  God knows, I hope another doesn't smell blood.  But, I've had worse than even that.  For days, weeks, months, even years.

It does look like a deep freeze has settled in.  Well, not so much cold, as frosty, foggy, out there.  Gorgeous, I have to admit.  Around 20 F.  Since I don't have to muck about or drive out there, I can enjoy.  And, I do.  Pure white, on white, on white, in the shade enough that it doesn't hurt the eyes.

Oh, and the birds, and an owl and hawk, are out.  The sounds they are making is intense, akin to crickets in the summer.  Very... strange, eerily lovely.  This, my friends, is as good as winter gets.  Just enough cool without being too frigid.  No wind to make it even more dangerous.  That touch of danger, if you don't pay attention.  Dark, but almost magically brightly dark.  Covered with snow, and ice in places.  A joy, I tell you.  A living winter.

I'll have another slice of beef, this morning.  If I can keep to meats, for a while, I will.  I will fry the burger later, and have that with salad.  Nothing fancy, but it works fairly well.  I can have beans with it, sometimes, just not every time.  And I do, I need variety.  But, having eating beef for even a day running has helped with some health difficulties.  I just couldn't eat rightly, until I... could... did.  Now to keep to it.

Well... that's a start.  Have a good day.  Later.
