No, not just myself. Sassy has been quite well fed today as well. And given plenty of attention. I don't bother her every time I walk past, half the time, or a bit more... or less. Just a bit of soft scratching behind the ears, a light massage of body, or legs and paws. A smile, and kind word. Just to make sure she knows she is loved.
Sometimes she quite enjoys, sometimes she suggests I move on along. But, if I then pass her up a few times, she might ask what's wrong. Silly girl. She's at least as bad as I am? *sigh* But, life is pretty good.
The legs to feet are feeling better. Still a bit of a burning numbness. If a third as bad as it was. Still a bit uncomfortable to walk. Wouldn't want to sprint, or even have to walk around a grocery store. Though... that's coming. Better. Fluid is being removed in nice parcels, and staying out well enough to begin easing, regularly.
Though, too, I have to drink enough to not dehydrate terribly too. That could be as bad as too much fluid. Hmm... I'll have an electrolyte mix in a bit. That helps a lot. As does general minerals, and the high dose potassium. Helps keep the right amount of water in, find balance.
Chicken is finished. Still one side left. Might heat that up and have that before bedtime. If bedtime seems to be way off again. Oh well.
And, the house was kept extra warm again. So... that's been good. But, tomorrow, back to cooler temps. Perhaps a shower yet tonight. Needed, for certain.
Gaming, but... not... to into it. Control problems, but they know that. It's what they do when they can't produce a fair playable game. Go after complainers. The game isn't fair. Still, it's what I have, for the moment.
Oh, but really glad to have texted today. Didn't get many responses. But some. Wasn't... doing it for responses, though. Any response was just a bonus. Excellent way to reach out. Will definitely remember that for Christmas. And... will add a few to the list. Thought about another one today, but... I'm... I did what I could, went as far as I could. And enjoyed.
Good day, and later most likely. Or good night if not. Hope you ate well, offered appropriate salutations for the day, told someone you loved them, were warm, and comfortable, if maybe a bit stuffed. I'll add a prayer for many later. If you somehow slip through the cracks, pray for yourself. God helps those who help themselves too, you know it. :p
Cousin in So. Carolina texted a greeting, Told her I was warming by a fire, she was in a hot bubble bath... she won.
ReplyDeleteMom in Law, has a small elderly dog, what she thought were "skin tags" ... nope, these had 8 tiny black legs. I ended up doing "proper" tick removal when my twins went after it with a tweezers. For all their tech. they didn't look it up even after I prompted and described the process (strange). So I cut a V-notch in a used yogurt container. MiL thought "Volcano" the dog, would tear into us like it snapps at her. Youngest boy, oldest twin, held him down, and I told the old pup "It's Okay...It's Okay" as a mantra while massaging around the tick and working it out with the V-notch plastic, much like I'd done to a tick my daughter brought back from S.D. 20 years ago.
Unlike when I brought back one from the same RR right of way we played on back then (Dad's Mom's place) to San Diego (he was stationed there) Naval Hospital (by way of the base barber who found the tick) They heated a paper clip with a lighter and forced it to back out (not a recommended technique )
Side note: I was, pre-kindergarten I think. Base barber had Playboys in the magazine racks, I discovered Playboy cartoons. After getting the tick removed, walking out, I saw human brains, the inside of a young sailor's skull, and quite possibly my first dead body. (Motorcycle accident handle bars punctured the top of his skull) they worked on him across the hall, I saw ALOT more than I should.
Things to be thankful for....?
