I did get up before noon!

Oh, I heard the eight alarm.  Was almost sure I had this one.  Then... kept hitting the snooze.  The only thing I could get to move was the arm.  Then I was sure, though, when the ten went off, I'd have that.  Nope.  Sleep clobbered me so that I only ever heard one or two of the alarms.  Must have slept right through snoozing the hour away.  Still, eleven thirty beats fifteen thirty!

It is 84 out there today, but 72 upstairs, 74 downstairs pretty much everywhere.  I had everything open, shutting it all down when I got down here.  Well, shutting some things down.  Oddly, keeping some windows open really does help keep the place cooler.  I don't fully understand, but I'll take it.  Doors, and a certain window, have to be shut or heat pours in.

No food today, or that is the plan.  Very strange?  Blood sugar is 120 fasting?  Stupid thing.  But I'll take it.  Having electrolytes first thing, with two waters.  Medicine in shortly.  Nothing fancy.  But I have to keep those tended.

Started heating the water for coffee, when I remembered the plan and shut that down.  Fed Sassy, and cleared her litter boxes.  Not refreshing her water until later.  Normally wouldn't, having changed it just yesterday.  But it is down by a third?  If I see her drinking more, I'll keep up on it more.  She does appreciate it.  She's a good friend, I don't mind.

Too warm to get out there?  Not really.  But by the time I am able to get out and going, it would be.  I do have tasks to attempt in the house.  Leveling the dishwasher, and getting the r.o. system functioning.  It is leaking somewhere.  I'll... have to sort that.  I hate when little shit systems, which should just work, don't just work!

I need to rewet the wound again.  I'll do that this evening.  I've been doing better about managing the wound.  But every time I get the program down, the program changes.  Higher temps, lower humidity, is requiring the rewetting program.  So far that is it?  Doing my best.

I have learned a lot about wound treatments, for both rather severe and rather long term issues, and in various places.  What I have learned about medicine is what I have learned about many other things.  It's not science, it is engineering.  A medical scientist would let you die, to see what all happens.  A medical engineer, in theory, is trying to heal you as efficiently, directly, and simply as possible.  Make... sure which type of doctor you are dealing with.  And... if you see something wrong, ask, or just change medical.  The only person, with real skin in the game, is you.  Know one else knows enough to fight for you.

Hmm?  Well... on with life.  Just a two day fast, eating Saturday.  Oh, but the bruise on my hip?  It was staying the same, if small, size for a few weeks.  It just... got stuck.  Fine.  But, today, it feels like it just dropped thirty percent?  Or so.  I am hoping fasting will add to that by subtracting from it?  Aye!  Fasting has helped before.

Hmm... should I fast, for only two days?  Well, yes.  It would be a good start.  See if I can handle it.  Get my body ready for a longer fast next week, or in two weeks.  Oh, and should do some extra prayers while fasting.  God seems pleased with that.  Always pleased with prayers, but... valued added, through fasting, or other offerings or deprivations... at least right ones... makes it even more sincere?  Or such.  Later.
