Not all that was hoped.

Would you believe it was too cool?  I... don't know how long into the morning I made it, maybe eleven?  Then I simply clocked out.  Couldn't do much up to then, either.  I got coffee in, medicine, and a third of the sirloin.  Then I absolutely crashed.  I went up for a quick nap, not waking until... 15:00?  Give or take an half hour.

Then, after an hour or two, I finally did get a shower taken.  With plans on getting to a doctor's office for a bit of business, to the bank, to order the refrigerator, and was hoping to stop at costco.  I... only got the middle two of those things done.

------

The refrigerator I was able to get, finally, without the water hose.  No ice system, no water hose.  Gah!  But, I... didn't stop there.  I also ordered a dishwashing machine.  Although, I ordered that with... a bit of... trepidation?  I will need help installing it.

So?  After ordering both, to be delivered on different days... if that was a bit of work and a story of it's own... I called my old reliable.  I'm a heck of a friend.  I only demand time.  Time he doesn't have.  Will... have to... consider some things.  He will be by tomorrow, was stopping for something else.  So, we... will talk.  We... always talk.

------

I had hoped to get things arranged, more, today.  But life just didn't allow it.  Tomorrow?  Well, beside his visit, I have things to do elsewise.  Not sure.  Yet today though?  Maybe.  I'd like to get some things going.

So cool?  Yes, the highest I saw it out there was 77.  It is down to 73 outside, 76 in this front room (with the sun out, the machine on all day), 74 to 72 in the main and kitchen.  It was only 75 upstairs, last I checked, around 16:30?  Or so.  Crazy.  It should be in the 90s.  And, no, the clouds all burned off.  This is... an air mass?  A low?  A high?  Something.  I'll take it.  If it crashes my system more than I thought it would.  Ugh.

Dressing a bit more warmly, I think.

------

Oh, I had to change the dressing again.  And just in time.  Before it had dried out.  Two days, it looks like, is about max.  I'll have to ask for a few more dressings, when in.  And, of the two moistening agents?  One hurts like the dickens, the other is better.  I wondered, thinking I had the dressing system down.  Didn't think there would be a difference between the moistening agents.  There is.  One more variable accounted.  Oh... and it was so nice to dress the wound without pain.  Last two times hurt, again... probably in the 5 to 7 out of ten range.

Normally that isn't too different for any other day.  Normally?  My normals have sucked for a long time.  Yes, normally.  I would have a few better days, and sometimes worse days.  But that was typical.  Now that it is unusual?  Becoming unusual.  No painpills in... weeks, months?  And, then, only regarding the dressings and wounds from the accident, rare even then.  Damn, that hurts!  Wow.  Anyway, I think I have the final piece of the puzzle sorted.

And, it looks like there was just a bit left of the goo.  Under the dressing, in the wound bed.  So that it hadn't dried.  That also hurts, when it dries out.  And, that happens quicker, with the heat.  Even just to the upper 70s, as dry as it is (mostly), that just sucks fluid out of the body, and I sweat more, even if it doesn't show.  The world hereabout just eats sweat right almost off the bones, or down to them.  So, yes.  Another variable.  But that one is seasonal, and changes.  The others seem rather fixed.

All good.  Another fatted coffee.  Or some of the cool I have been storing?  Sure, that sounds good.  Good day, later, or maybe goodnight.
