Almost.

My right foot, the knuckle belonging to the big toe, again, began to hurt.  About two weeks ago.  So... I have been very careful with it.  Not putting too much pressure on it, keeping walking to a minimum, babying it.  And it has nearly worked.  The pain is down to a softer ache, rarely registering above the other, mostly currently, and also background, pains.

Further, I was being extra careful to not have the pain get into the other foot.  How can you be cautious when you aren't certain of the cause(s)?  Trust me, I could be, and it was working.  However, just as my right foot big toe knuckle is nearly healed, the left said knuckle has gone full retarded and hurts just as bad as the right had been.  More care going forward.  And, at least, it wasn't both at the same time.  Or so far, or to this point.

Back up mostly during the day.  I just don't speak with mother.  Requests are nearly automatically denied.  There are a few things I will help with, only if it is practical, general, I agree with the project or practice, and she really can't do it.  For the most part, conversation isn't open.  Don't lie through your teeth, boldly to my face, then expect communication.

For now, I just game and have coffee.  She steals even that, buying the cheapest swill she can lay her hands on, for herself, then using my coffee without asking, permission, repayment offer of any kind, or even gratitude, to sweaten her swill.  I've been trying to hide it, but she is nothing if not persistent.  And I have to sleep sometime.  As if I need to be asleep for her to sneakthief... pretty much anything. 

And graze?  The woman must eat five meals a day, and would have me make her something at night if I was still willing and awake in the middle of the night.  Bleh.  Surprised she has kept weight off.  But, then again, maybe that is a lie too?  I... have to keep remembering she lies about everything and anything.  Often getting caught in her own bad memory though too.  Bleh.

Well... enough about that.  Time to get up, game, something else.  Later.
