Down between 18:00 and 19:00, up at ~3:30, give or take a decade. Sassy fed, teeth scrubbed, tea water heated, and then set. Almost ready. Oh, before I got down, I put in a new nose piece on my glasses. The nose piece kit had a screwdriver, tweezers, and even a small flathead screwdriver. Most likely for tightening some parts of the glasses. I'll remember, though I did ad a small screwdriver kit to my glasses storage box as well.
A shave sometime today? Maybe, or tomorrow. Another shower? Maybe. But, if I do that, after I set dishes to soak, then get those in the machine. A new vacuum cleaner arrived. I haven't opened it yet, but may today. Trying it out as a finishing touch in the master bedroom. And, if it works, in the living room. Both of those rooms have been cleaned down to just carpet and dust or whatever.
Legs and feet are almost down to normal size. An odd bump on my leg, just below the calf. It takes a bit to sort those things out. It's a bit of a painful process. But, now, I'll have to be vigilant, mindful of consumption, wearing compression when possible, as possible. Watching how much I drink, and when. Not too much too close to bedtime, things like that. Until... things are sorted with medicine or I go my own way. But, that odd bump, like a small flat tire, three inches along the leg, and all around it, was a minor swelling, and all that is left. I'm getting there.
So, few things today. But a day of rest. I'll gather any trash I have, and see what I can find to just fill any space left. Go through a cupboard or three. Or drawer or four. No longer passing up extra space to toss, when the opportunity presents. Won't be the fastest way, but will get some of it done.
Hmm, today? For food? I have more burger. I'll probably do burger and rice. Though with tomato, or keto cream of mushroom? Can't be certain. Both should be good. The burger is spiced pretty hot. Carolina reaper, fresh. And a pretty good little splash of the stuff. Garlic and onion powders, black and white freshly ground pepper, and a touch of salt. I try to get salt just to taste, then cut it just a bit... so as to be able to salt finish it to actual taste at the table.
Oh, and I finally remembered the other litter box. Filled that this morning. Cleared out one whole, reset the other simply. Now she has two to work with. She only went without for a half a day. She can get fussy anyway.
A bit of gaming, after I do my internet rounds. Then, a bit of work. Not pushing today, just... doing a bit here, then there, as I fee able. It's mostly a day of rest. But There are always things to do. So they may be done. On with the day, after a bit of looking out there, to see what is happening.
Oh, some things I am not sure about? I have heard that a EO has make English, again, the official language of the nation. Will that mean I don't have press one to get a pseudo English presentation when calling switchboards? Will it mean the VA only hires people who speak proper English, other government agencies? Or is it just a pretty pr moment, with no real meaning or teeth?
Not... being pushy. But, if it has no meaning to me, then don't bother. If it does? Great. Just... I'm not sure if anything happening has, or will have, any impact on my life. Or... when it will take effect. I guess we will find out. It isn't about a lack of gratitude, it's about trusting, but verifying. Something Reagan suggested, but didn't really lead the way regarding. Being shot, though... sort of didn't help. Being a California liberal initially, as with Trump being a NY one, doesn't help. And... causes some... doubts. Anyway... just saying.
Well... later.
Yesterday a rain front rolled through while I had my work truck windows down to "Air out" (3 shifts of mechanics...) I was in a boiler room at the time so returned to a soaked seat, Same exact thing happened this morning. I'm chilled, ate soup, craving carbs...
ReplyDeleteWhile I am a firm believer in carnivore, there are times when carbs can be... handy. I won't even deny that. Just because they aren't, generally, good for us? There is a reason they have proliferated.
ReplyDeleteDealing with extreme cold (not so much heat), chills, or even some health issues, carbs, in the short term, can help. Just like, if you can do it without excess (I can't) a shot of something stiff can help shake off the cold (though NOT while in it, good way to induce frostbite and hypothermia).
I'd like to tell you not to roll your windows down when it rains, but... you... already know that. And... we all do that. It's a risk versus reward world, and without risk, there wouldn't be reward. And you just... roll those dice almost no matter what you do. So... that's part of being in the club. I can't tell you not to do something I may very well do. :p
Oh, if you were serious about a road trip? My mother is sounding a bit rough. I need to figure out how to get there. Solo, or as a crew... Soon.
I'll kick up the timeline, I had put it off, due to reading of the work on your place. Sounded busy.
ReplyDeleteYes. I... had to sort some stuff. Seems sorted now. But... no rush asap? :p I'm not going to get too fussy, being that I was just fussy. So... as you are able.
ReplyDeleteThough, if I might suggest, do tell the mrs. Even if she doesn't (seem) to like you, best not... cause trauma. They love that, but hate it. And will hiccup to the moon, like Alice. *pow* :p
Women annoy me, but I don't like to see them suffer. Even so. Mostly. :)
