A start.

The dump trucks had not been by, so there is that.  Medicine taken, then some time later, bp checked.  It is 174/115 with a pulse of 78.  The waterpill, only one, carvedilol, potassium, minerals, super b vitamin, and daily vitamins, taken.  Not taken are losartan and an extra waterpill.  Though I am adding herbal tea blends which are supposed to act as diuretics.  I have three types, and one last one on the way.  So I can mix and match.  The problem with medicine?  Taking one medicine, that acts in one way, over and over, leads to problems.

While medicine can get a standard reaction on a standard dose, it also wears out whatever system it is working on, action on, plus stresses other organs, like kidneys and the liver.  They really should mix things up from time to time.  Depending on the ability to tolerate.  My problem is I don't tolerate many medicines well.  So changing, for example, heart medicine... isn't doable.  Most of them nearly put me into a coma.  I will fall off them, if nothing else.  Even do, sometimes, with carvedilol.  But it's the one I can generally tolerate to some degree.  However, the waterpills, I think they should alter those.  Six months to a year on one, then on a different that might act differently.  Stronger?  Fewer.  Weaker?  More.  But... they don't think like that.  If you are dying, don't change it.  If it's killing you, stop it all?  Poor choices, but it seems how they do things.

Sunny out there.  Pleasant, really.  If it hits the mid fifties, I'll turn the furnace off and open the place up.

I did get the dishes sorted.  What could go into the dishwasher, and fit, went in.  I have a bunch of plastic condiment bottles.  I did those by hand, mostly.  They were just dusty, and that just on the outside.  So mostly just got soapy soaks, in cleaner water, several times.  Now they are rinsing in hot water.  I started the dishwasher.  Then, when it started, put the last of the whites in.

I still have things to fold.  But... for now, that is it.  I'll get to gaming.  Oh, and I should set water going for coffee.  I had to grind more.  I grind enough for a few days to a week.  Keep the whole beans in airtight glass, and the ground in airtight, both at room temp.  Works well enough.  I keep several pounds in the freezer.  I thought I was buying half pounders, last time, so got six.  No, must have been out of focus, they were pounders.  That is about the limit of what will last in the freezer.  This last batch I pulled out smelled slightly freezer burned.  The plastic bag I put the paper bag they are poured into at the store into, anyway, had that freezer burn smell.  Will see if it is useable.  May use it anyway, they don't give that stuff away.  But... there... are limits to pushing through.  Will see if it works.

Coffee.  And maybe heating the rest of the steak.  Say... twenty minutes in the oven, at 350, when it gets to temp?  I have a microwave.  It's clean, now, but wasn't bad to start.  And is rather new.  I just won't microwave anything with fats in it.  Even coffee has oils.  Heating fats to that degree, makes them go bad, rancid even.  Don't heat fats beyond their cooking temps.  Anyway, I use the oven for most things.  Veggies, I suppose?  As long as no butter is added before heating, add that afterward.  /preach

Later.
