Foot feeling better?

.

.

Strangely.  Yes.  This front room is 70, which is... warmer than usual.  I didn't turn the heat up, in this room.  So... not sure why?  But it feels cold.  So strange.  The knuckle has reduced in swelling, or the sense of being swollen.  And it just hurts a lot less.  It was feeling better before I decided to take a tylenol, then get around to taking it.  I don't think the painpill helped, at all?  I was hoping it would add to the relief.  If it had come half way after whatever else eased the pain, it would be nearly normalized.  Nope.  Still, half the pain is pretty good.  Not perfect, but pretty good.

I just don't understand why it feels so cold while being, numerically, so warm.  Might just be a side health issue.  Or... humidity, barometric pressure, or whatnot.  The world is a very big very strange anomaly, that doesn't make sense.  Or, well, more that we simply don't understand the sense it obviously does make.  Don't think science understands.  Engineering is good at getting things to work, more or less, or more often than not, or... just more often than otherwise.  Don't.  Know.  Don't let them fool you.

These are the same people that offered you the vax.  And told you eating animals, and their fat, which you have eaten since your earliest ancestors, was bad for you.  But oils they made from seeds, chemically, intended for machines, was in fact good for you.  But, then, you... ate it up.  We all did, if I started disbelieving far before it was cool.  Sometimes all it takes is one fool to show the others, or at least get them to experiment.  It's... a start.

Tea.  I am going without coffee, as I really need cream with that.  I'm trying to back away from that, until I get a blood test shortly.  Could have gotten it today, but will wait a few days, or a week.  Going without cream or else like it, in the diet, until the blood work is done.

I had coffee a day or two ago.  And, after a mild abstaining period, was able to enjoy it again.  Want it today, but tea will do.  A warm libation, with caffeine, minus cream.  It's pretty tasty.  Though, this time, I was much more careful with how much loose leaf was used, and how long it brewed.  My last tea was just a wee stout!  This is just right.  A very pleasant white tea.

Well... on with some gaming?  Hopefully on to bed earlier tonight?  Who knows.  I'd like to eat, something?  Had a salad, with the last of the gorgonzola dressing.  Hmm, that was pretty rich.  I should make up 'italian' dressing.  But there wasn't much of it.  Ham?  That wasn't my favorite.  If I may have heated it too long?  this time I'll go a little shorter on the heating.  Maybe have corn and peas with it?  It's been a while since I've had that.  If... if I can get to it.  I like the idea.

Later.  Or... maybe good night?  Nah.  Feeling enough better, I think dinner and some gaming, plus a later post?  Probably.

Oh, I've been looking over vehicles... used... stick.  Pre-computerized.  They are out there, but... dubious.  All very dubious.  Horse sellers.  I did read one, where the guy was pretty much gutting the vehicle, but offering it up.  Honesty, but way overpriced.  One of those has to go.  I hope it is the price.  Even finding a sucker... if you know better... will taint your soul.  Stick with honesty, and understand why not on the price.  You can get something, just not... that much.

Some are laughable though.  I suppose someone would buy an "antique" vehicle.  But, even if it has been stripped and redone, it's... not... worth the value of a brand new vehicle.  I suppose there are still some boomers whose pride goes before their reason.  But for the rest of us, it's just more swine before pearls.  I'll... keep my coin, thank you.  Meh... maybe I am wrong.  But I don't think there are many who really want to spend big dough on an old vehicle.  Just... it isn't there.

I'll keep looking, and marking a few favorites.  I might even begin looking?  Not quite yet.  I want to see how fast and far the house can be moved toward a sale before... taking certain other risks.  But, yes, an old 250/350 sort of superduty.  With a longer bed and/or king cab or at least some room behind the bench/front seat.  But 120k, stick, v8, minimum.  And decent condition.  I don't expect perfect, but if it has been a beat up farm truck, no.

Of course, maybe not.  Just... looking.  I could sell what I have, buy that, and come out ahead.  But mileage will be cut to a third of what it is.  Those things eat gasoline.  Even the old 250s.  But they can haul, and carry, a goodly lot.  And a loss wouldn't be murderous, like wrecking a $150k truck of today.  Which... they are even having trouble keeping on the road.  Meh.  Will see.  Later.
