A nice morning.

.
.
It was cooler.  After feeding Sassy her third time... of six to eight small feedings... I checked the thermostat reading.  It was 66.  Now, that's not terrible, but I don't want to be cool.  Not while finishing healing.  Warmth really helps.  Or, at least just not cool/cold.

Up to 72.  But I'll shut it off, again, overnight.  I don't mind going from 61 upstairs, to 66 downstairs, then warming the house from there.  Usually I can do that.  Unless I flat out feel like I've been run over, hurt so much I can't think... remember.  And just live in miserable coldness for a while, as I did a day or two ago, and for two days.  Bah!

Not this time.

And, life is good.  The main, old, sore is aching, a bit, off and on.  Did so through the night.  But... just... little nibbles of hurt.  The knee ached, both as a joint, and from the wounds, but even less.  And... other things stung, or hurt, or ached as well.  But so lightly that they were just reminding me that I am alive.  Cool, I... don't mind that.  I'm... very used to some level of pain most or all of the time.  I'm not sure what I would do if it all stopped.  Perpetual gifts, of the small or larger sort, for those figuring out heaven, in purgatory.  Sent with a smile, usually, and a good fortune, and be brave, note.  I hope to see some of these folk, in time.  Not to receive gratitude, to give it.  A thanks for giving me a reason to suffer more humbly.

I did remember something though.  My recent renal doctor visit?  The doctor suggested my vitamin D was low.  He advised I take supplements.  But... I stammered, I AM taking supplements, 4k iu a day!  But, I can't be angry at him, or even upset at myself.  I merely have to... add a bit more.

In my reviews on the topic, I crossed one of my part-time but solid (to my way of thinking) gurus on these topics.  And?  And, okay.  More.  I have advanced my portions to 10k a day, and put a batch which offers that in one pill into my basket.  As I will go through these others much more quickly than anticipated, at the rate I am using them.  But, okay.  And... add k in there two.  And, it's a fat soluble, though for carnivores, and other types of keto dieters, that shouldn't be a problem... even if you have cut more to protein than fat.  Which I have, now that I am mostly fat adapted.

I have to admit, if I hadn't seen that video, I might have... shrugged it off as too dangerous.  For good or ill?  But, no, I do actually trust him, and more than what I'd hear in some doctor offices.  Just saying.  But you do you.

Just saying.  Just because you are taking things, and rightly mostly, doesn't always mean you are taking enough.  Especially if you have other health issues.  Keep up the good work, just... go a little deeper in what you are doing, perhaps.

On to the rest of my day.  A shower, in an hour or two.  Then... I don't know?  But it is a pleasant morning, and day.  And I have started a bit more vitamin D and k some and such.  It's... a start.  Will be nice when the one a day gets here.  Or even two a day, if it is that.  Later.
