Can't believe how difficult it is to just walk?

Right, but... true.  It isn't that I don't have energy.  It is that what energy I have is stowed as fat.  And my body just isn't able to pull it out and use it fast enough.  So, it's as if I have fasted for days.  Legs are noodles, give or take.  The temptation to order a pizza, or go for fast food, is severe.

It isn't a craving.  Those are long gone.  What remains, however, is the knowledge that the bun from a burger or meat(tm) sandwich, fried potatoes of some sort, and a soda or two, would give my body the energy it wants.  And, it would.  For a very short time.

I had gotten to the point where I could give it real carbs a few times a month, then give it pseudo carbs daily, and it would mostly satisfy that want.  It's wants.  What it thought of as needs.  And, it was better.  Blood sugar was closer, staying at around ~230.  But, bp and pulse remained elevated.  Before that?  I don't think I ever fully got off carbs.  Always some little sneaky thing.  Even too many veggies.

Now, it has been a week.  Vision may be improving.  BP and pulse, yes and blood sugar, are all incredibly good.  Medicine is mostly reduced or gone.  I am taking a fifth of the strong stuff, dropped two medications, cut the waterpills in half, so am taking less potassium (as that is based on the waterpill(s)).  Only one pill continues at it's original level, if I think I will be cutting that in half tonight?

Still, so weak!  I did clear the dishes.  They will need to be washed again.  But they have been drained, rinsed, and set aside.  So I can shower.  But, first, I want to get a tub of water and clean the freezertop.  I just couldn't, after sorting the dishes to the point I got them.  I was physically crashing.

A break, as I write.  Maybe a bit of browsing as well after.  Then I'll get the freezertop cleared and cleaned.  While I do that, I'll fish out a steak.  Food might help.  I'll be stumbling to get the griddle heated, and steak cooked.  And, then, I'll probably need some downtime.

But, with the freezertop cleared and cleaned, and the tub clear.  I'll get a shower.  I have to wash the dishes, though.  First, before just rinsing them.  But, after the shower, I'll need a break.  This is sort of killing me, but I'm getting there.  I will push through, get the dishes washed, rinsed, and dried... then set to air dry.  Plus, I'll pull extra meat out to thaw.  I only thaw burger and chicken anymore.  And, yes, I think I will pull a chicken to thaw, along with a big pack of hamburger.

Ugh.  Oh, and purchased a new microwave.  As much as I don't like/trust those, they are so very convenient.  Just to heat food up, quickly, easily, especially in summer to reduce heat elsewise.  What to do with the old one?  I'll... figure that out.  I wonder if the old platter will fit?  Could keep it as a spare, if so.  Though... doubtful.  Industry is about buying new, throwing away the old.  If pollution and else were a real problem?  They wouldn't be manufacturing that way.  Don't believe a word out of their mouths until you see them focus on reducing production through reuse, and such.

Cold.  Turned the furnace up a bit.  Went looking at games, for the console.  Nothing.  Looked at movies available?  Nothing.  It's all woke garbage.  Nothing even spooked more than a slightly closer look.  Good for me, and them, I think.  I am beginning to think they have decided to shut down production.  They are doing their part, we are doing ours.  We... don't need them.  They do need us.  Yeah, they will find out just how true that is.  Later.
