When did I wake up? Around 2:30? It is 3:44 as write. Just... looking around the web, feeding Sassy, resetting a couple of jugs of reverse osmosis water. When I woke, I checked the temp outside. It was only down to 68, but was raining? Very strange. That it would be that warm still, that it would be raining at all, and that both would happen at once as a doubling down on both of those others? Or such.
A double dose of electrolytes. Not that it is terribly needed, strangely. Keeping up, as I haven't been consuming as much as I feel I should have been, especially in this heat of late.
Too early to take medicine. As well, I don't want to have coffee right yet.
It was 77 upstairs, where I sleep. Which is fine. It was 73 in the main up there, and 73 downstairs in the main, perhaps cooler in the kitchen. But still 80 up here in the front room. Being cooler outside I decided to open this front room for a bit. It is slowly cooling here, very slowly. Though I didn't open it up until I checked the temp, which was only half an hour ago. Strange, but one degree down, to 79, actually makes a difference.
I must admit, I'd like a bite to eat. I'm just not willing to cook, or for a fact to eat. Strange to be hungry, but not bodily willing or able to eat? Meh. Blood sugar is 124. Still not sure why it isn't dropping to the 100 range, or even lower. Even with canned fruit, it's within keto... or should be? No sugar added, which can help, but... well... It seems I am still insulin resistant, powerfully. That may be the way of things for the rest of my life.
I did add a bit more of the collagen/liquid stuff, from the wound clinic. I am adding some every day and a half. Some dressings don't close up as well, but I have found a trick for those. The silicon ones do much better. This sure helps the pain. As the wound was drying up, even in the airtight dressings, it would hurt a lot. Better, slowly.
Hmm... perhaps on back to bed for a few more hours. Not sure why I woke. I was comfortable. Not too hot. I did rewet the wound, so maybe that was disturbing my sleep? And it does hurt just a bit, even now. It takes a while, sometimes, for the wetting agent to do it's thing.
I may leave the place open a bit, while I go on back to sleep. I have the alarms set, in the hopes of waking earlier this morning. Possibly to get to the roof, and do some work. Though probably not today. More like tomorrow. But to be on a schedule that would allow work to be done earlier in the morning, today, tomorrow, or some time this week. Doing what I can.
Not bad. But the heat will take me out if it keeps up like this. I will keep the ac's on, for now. Especially if 68 is as cool as it is getting this late. I have put up with heat pretty well, but finally hit my limit. Hard and fast, when I finally reached it. Somewhere between 84 and 86 upstairs, with the coolest being in the mid 70s in the main of the downstairs, that is about where I hit a limit. I need a place cooler to get out of even the mid 70s. Thankfully, I can do that.
Hmm... to bed? Or a bit more looking around? Maybe just a bit more. Goodnight either way, most likely. Again.
Monday Morning (my Friday night!) top sirloin bloody undercooked, was going to eat half, got there and am still cutting off a chunk now and again. Almost perfect. (so good I forgot the horseradish until now)
ReplyDeleteIf you're shuffling or unsteady, please stay off the roof, I don't think they have your dietary needs in the hospital.
Heheha. Oh, but they do. I just fast when in the hospital. Which either annoys them enough to 'work with me', or get me the heck out as fast as they can so they won't be responsible if I die. *grins* I... don't play fair or nice.
ReplyDeleteBut, the roofs I need to attend are only slightly inclined, whereas the one I was on the other day was steep. I suppose there are steeper roofs, but not by much, unless they are custom or designed to... deny access almost at all.
Well, sometimes? I don't limit it. If my body says it wants and needs more, and I agree? I'll let it consume the whole thing. Some days you just need more. Don't even worry about that. Plus, you probably need the protein far more than you suspect.
For weight loss, do you know what the most important ally in doing that is? Muscle. And the only way to gain muscle is to eat enough protein. Which is where I am at, after losing a lot of muscle and fat while losing weight initially.
So, protein is helping me build back a bit. So I am not losing weight, here, for a bit. But I am probably losing size a bit?
However, when I get more muscle packed back on, that will help burn fat again. And protein will maintain any muscle gains. Just trying to help step you through the process. I... have to do it for myself, from time to time, to help keep me on track. If I don't know why I am doing what I am doing, I... lose interest. So... yes. Protein, and the fats.
Ate it all... no regrets. Was going to pair it with something, meat was enough.
ReplyDeleteGot drug into a fight with the "others" about pictures I found of her family, Gave them to the spawn, she put them back in my room, then blamed me for "losing" them... wife had given them to her mother(rightful owner) I got blamed for "losing "pictures that I never should have "possession" of. Now both are spitting mad at me... why is this my fault??? F- them!
Maybe it is time to suck start a Blackhawk...
Hasta'
Bah. If you know you aren't the problem? And you really aren't the problem? Tell them so. And, then, either become a problem by eliminating whatever is the cause... the pictures. Or just tell them, straight up, you aren't eating their garbage or tolerating their drama.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is what Doom would, has, done. Both can work, depends on if you want more or fewer issues, sooner or later. :)
I'm telling you, if you get on to eating meat? You... really... won't need the other stuff. Just... don't need it. Want? Always want. Even now I want. Wanted Arby's, but passed it up. NO! Up to you.
And, in time? You will find meat, just meat, is cheaper to eat. Since you can handle sirloin. A thick cut will last two to three days. A fatted coffee or two on the side. Plus extra water through the days, with electrolytes.
But... you do you.
Screw drama. Especially if I was living with a woman, and not getting leg. Heck no, I wouldn't put up with it. Don't argue. Say it, maybe do it, then leave it. Women tend their own drama if they realize you aren't a mark. Bah!
Sounds like where I'm headed, have a chicken breast and the twin of the sirloin from yesterday thawed (decisions) I'm off my feed bag for now have to work up an appetite.
ReplyDeleteStarted phat coffee, wife interrupted that, I walked away, didn't say a word... She's sill mad? (Maybe mad in the ol' English definition of "MAD")
I don't understand...
It's how they are. Learn to laugh. Sometimes just on the inside, unless you want some tangle. For me, tangle always lead to sex, some of the best. But, you do you. I only didn't laugh if I didn't want an half hour to three day tit for tat, to get tit, then that. :p
ReplyDeleteThey fight when they are hungry, horny, hot... some other things. Remember dealing with babies? Women are like that, sort of. Only, with women, sex might be part of it. If she isn't getting sex, it's YOUR fault.
She doesn't deserve what I'm able to give... and I won't give, if... she doesn't deserve.
ReplyDelete"But I won't do that"
Oh, you may have read that wrong. It's your fault, somehow, in her MIND. Okay.
ReplyDeleteSo... just... understand. I AM NOT blaming you, she may well be. And angry about it. I... have to laugh. At women, and how they think.
