Finally.

.

.

To be fair, I got stuck in the game until pushing one.  I didn't hear the alarm, at five.  Started coming to around nine.  Just finally woke up around 11:30.  Neck and shoulders are completely out of sorts.  A headache to go with it.  Medicine and painpills first thing.

Blood sugar is up, a bit, at 138 fasting.  Ugh.  Not... horrible, but not as low as it has been.  Still, when I have gone rather clean for a while, a cheat can throw things for days.  Apples?  Just two apples?  Okay.  Though, I do wonder about the bacon.  No more bacon for a while.  I just... need to see if that is what is messing with blood pressure and maybe blood sugar too.

It feels like someone pinched my collar bone area, on the right side.  Pinched.  And did it so long that the whole side over there hurts from it.

Today?  I'd like to get a shower, when I can.  Probably have a few eggs right first thing.  Boiled.  So easy.  Needs extra salt, but... it wasn't cooked with any, so that's fine.  Then set up dishes.  Some hope of getting to town?  I'd like to get some things, for Thanksgiving dinner.  Not sure the sweetener I ordered will arrive in time.

Sweetener?  Sure, will be trying some things.  But... only for holidays.  I have given up on sweeteners as even a few times a week thing.  I... my body just doesn't play nice with those things.  But, for a holiday?  Sure.  Then again, I can make the cranberry sauce and have it with leftovers.  That, for me, has been as much Thanksgiving as the meal day.  

With larger families, it was a very short extra feast.  With smaller people groups, it has been a drudge of a thing sometimes.  But, as they have said for eons beyond counting?  May this, too, in time, become a fond memory.  And... so it has.  Both variations.  I'll... say a little prayer for the many people I have intimately dined with on the day... friends, family, enemies, and else.  For I think an angel, or two, has sat at my table... sometimes as hosts, sometimes guests.  Though worse too.  All were welcome, for a moment.

Not sure if I will make it all, in time.  But I should have a fairly pleasant group of meals, and... within... a few days of the official day.  May you as well.

A shower, dishes, some cooking, shopping?  Maybe laundry, upstairs.  Or... if the pain has me pinned, a few of those things and gaming.  Ouch.  Prayers your way, and kind thoughts.  Enjoy your family.  May they accept you.  Amen.

thanks, Chief
