Late.

I ran out of snoozes with the eight alarm.  But, was just awake enough to not let go.  Just a bit more and I was able to wake and get going.  I feel better, good really.  Am taking down a simple electrolyte supplemented water.  Will get medicine in with it.  No painkillers, life is rather sweet this morning.

For electrolyte powder, I use this.  I am adverting for this product because, at .45 a serving?  With enough for about three months of daily?  And the quality it has, and flavoring?  It's difficult to beat.  Actually, you won't beat it.  Some Chinese knock-off will sell for similar or cheaper, but who knows what is really in it.  The Chinese just don't count human life as valuable.  Of course, the US (government and business) is becoming Chinese, if we aren't already worse.

Received a call.  The store isn't getting what I had hoped to purchase.  But... the deli manager did offer some other things.  I balked, a bit.  Pastas.  But, yeah, for now... I can do... some carbs.  To be absolutely honest, while healing, carbs... can be beneficial... if still watched.

She said she could do these things with more of a balance on proteins.  So, I went ahead and ordered two different meal types.  I will try.  Chicken cordon bleu, and a meatloaf meal.  And, I can just eat less of the carbs myself, from what is offered.  I know the chicken is freshly cooked, and real.  I know the ham is actual ham.  Everything offered is... from real food.  Additives?  It's... as good as I can do, in short order.  And affordable, at $4 to $6 per serving.

Still, I'm going to call around, see if I can find what else I wanted.  Another few weeks of this, and I'll be back to making things on my own again.  It's no longer about standing without pain, or being mobile sum total, it's about having the energy to stand and cook and such.  Healing takes a lot of "juice".  My mojo, what I have, is going into knitting flesh from whole cloth.

Oh, that was a disturbance in the force.  My brother texted to see if I was awake.  I texted back that I was.  So he called.  I told him just because I was awake, didn't mean I would answer.  He grumbled something, and I just chuckled.  Yes, I... am a pest.  But not wanting to be a cruel one, just a playful one at times.

A good long talk.  Got the newest of news straight from the horse's mouth.  Spilled beans from this side of the world.  Talked about our birth parents, and his children, school, and cars.  He's thinking about getting into an old mustang.  I hope he does.  We talked about motorcycles.  He used to ride, and knows there is a cost to it.  You... leave something on the road, for all you take.  He knows that, did that.

But... good.  A good talk.  A pleasant way to pass some time.  Some chuckles, and scowls, but pretty good.

Well?  I don't know.  I think I'll get laundry started.  Then take a break.  Then clear the freezertop.  A shower after that.  Hopefully have clean clothes out and ready today or tomorrow.  Ugh.  Keeping up is difficult.  But, I'm back to aiming to try.

Sleep really was good.  Fresh air all night.  Dreams of women.  What all that entailed, I can't say.  Pleasant, though, that much I am sure about.  Good morning.
