Rough.

I did get the miter saw back on the stand, after getting the under parts tightened.  Then tightening the connections from the saw to that.  Tight enough that I can wheel it around without it falling off.  That was harsh.  I kept looking for the handles, hoping I would find them somewhere.  Nope, they really just aren't here.  I did put the stopper bar in, and angled it sideways, so the weight, center of mass, were more balanced.

Then on to watching a movie.  The new Nosferatu.  I like the new television, and soundbar.  It is good to be able to hear the voices, even on a lower volume.  But it sure booms.  The bass, rear speakers, and the bar, plus the tv since they are the same brand so it adds in the televisions speakers to it really is surround.

Good.

.

Cat fed.  Test strips found, but then got caught up in straightening and cleaning.  So... now a break.  I'll get the saw and base together shortly.  Was looking for the knee pads, as wrestling with the saw takes a lot of work on the knees.  Even though I have lost a lot of weight, my knees are still a weak point.  I'm pretty sure where they are, will get them while resting.  Or try.

Set eggs to boiling.  Hoping this batch will be easier to peel.  Either way, fresh boiled eggs are a joy.  Especially really good eggs.  These are eggs you really can't get commercially... truly free range during the day, fed non-soy feed, truly good eggs.  And the colors!  This time there are, the usual, brown in various shades.  But, this time, there are bright blue!  And a few other colors.

Good?

.

A bit achy?  Hunger, just a nibble of that.  Tired, still, on the edges.  Though I must admit, getting to things is very difficult.  Just... doing... anything seems to be very difficult.

Still, I started a load of synthetics first thing.  And will do another load after that.  Though a shower between them?  Why two?  Well, colors.  Yes, even lighter synthetics will take color from darker, especially new, synthetics.  I saw a good price on synthetic base layers, and wanted to compare those with the merino wool ones I bought earlier.  An $80 price difference.  Though, my guess, is that each will have a better time for use, and way.  I have medium and heave merino wool ones, the synthetics were only offered in one weight.  I tried them on, one set.  It fit, so I want to wash them before really running them through their paces.  And... I had several other synthetics to wash already.

I am pretty sure.

Someone.

Awake and fairly better again.

.

.

Improvement is very limited, if improvement is compounding over days.  Just another three quarters of a liter out last night, so I slept fairly well, warmly, and with fresh air.  Not sure if that really helps, but I think so.  That may be what is causing continued improvements?  Though it seems to be warmer out there?

Yes.  The thermometer reads 30, several do.  But, it isn't frozen.  It feels more like a... soft 40.  Water is dripping, from rain.  Foggy.  Very low visibility, here at ground level... perhaps two miles?  Though it may close and open as time goes on.  There is something delicious about fog, rain, this sort of temperature oddity, and such.  As... long as I don't have to drive in it.

Someone is out and about.

.

.

Kicking around.  Remembering?  Thinking?  Chewing some fat?  Flirting?

Certainly saw some oldies, and in a strange mix.  Still, I... think I can work with it.  Well, and a few new?  No, not a single new.  Well to my playlist.  Not all that recent, but, certainly everything has been visited.

Oh, delicious.

.

.

Plus, a new trick.

A hindquarter, and a wing.  Not that there is much on a wing, but enough with else.  Sometimes it's the fiddly bits that make food more interesting.  As well, the rest of the mushrooms and veggies.  In a foil pack again.  But, this time, when it was done... and stewed more than else, I opened it up and used the broiler.

It burned just a touch, but okay.  I'll... adjust the time.  Still, even with some minor scorching, it was warmer, and crisper.  I... like that.

Very cool out there.

.

.

Last I checked...  Never mind that?  Well, it was 36 (F).  Which it remains closing in on seven.  The sun has been up for an hour and a half, going on two?  And, for the first day in... I can't even remember?  The sun is shining fully.  No clouds.  Even so, as the end of May nears, it is still 36?  That's a bit... odd.

But... fine.  So be it.  And all that jazz.

Up late.

.

.

Pushing.  Shoving.  Moving along, little doggies.  It's to 11:50.  I don't think I made it to nine yesterday morning?  And, was up later yesterday than... in a while.  So this is a real breakout.  Not done yet.  Hoping to make it to 13:00... 14:00... just maybe 15:00.  Or not.  I may crash in ten.  Can never be certain after a certain point.  I am well past that point.

Coffee.  But, this time, real rather than freeze dried.  The other stuff hasn't been setting well with me lately.  But I've kept using it because... I didn't have the energy to do more.  This time, more was done.  French press had to be cleaned.  Ugh.  It's stainless, all around, so that isn't difficult.  But... yeah...  I cleaned the coffee out first thing this time.  I didn't realize old coffee and grounds could smell so horrible.  Now I know.  But it really did clean up very... relatively... easily.

Someone is... saying something?

.

.

I... think so.  What... did I write, or offer earlier?

Ah.  That.  Well, it looks like someone got something from it.  And decided to give a little back?  I... certainly suspect so.  Never can know in absolutes?  *wink*

Someone...

.

.

Kicking me in the head, balls.  What a... kick.  Mostly a dame, or three.  But... my pal has visited.  Some bombs, tossed, enjoyed.

I never knew if she was the scorpion, or if that was me.  Though, really, I think we took turns?  Yes.  Yes I think so.  I... enjoyed my turns.

I think so?

.

.

The bank, I think, said yes.  The seller still has the bike, and seems stoked.  My drivers, however, are super busy.  With real work.  Maybe tomorrow afternoon.  If not then, maybe Saturday.  If not either of those, not until next Friday?  Ugh.  And... that will just be the decision, not purchase.

The bank won't be open for business that late or on Saturday.  Drive-thru, but not loan office.  So, down, look the bike over, test drive, decide.  If she's as advertised, I'll go back when he is ready to visit my bank and do the title etc.  Ugh.  Wow.  But so troubling.

Eugenia is still alive?

.

.

Oh, a woman I... ran into.  And, lost track of since.  I was too busy dying myself to... follow another.  Not that I didn't care, or do?  But... I do.  I hadn't heard from, of, her in some time.  Still, a friend of sorts, once?  Or so I believed.  It sounds like the time is drawing nigh?

A spooky sleep?

.

.

Yes.  I thought things were going well.  I went up got into bed, and... it hurt.  All along the centerline of my torso.  Remember when I suggested my neck hurt, as if an artery was having trouble, or as if an infection was in there?  Well, that became the centerline of my torso.  Something really hurt in there.  Laying on the right side was impossible.  The left side I could mostly tolerate.  Didn't try my back, seemed worse when rolling over.  Can't sleep on my belly.  So... The left it was.

I had some trouble getting to sleep.  I was half expecting something really bad to happen.  Death, or some event leading to it.  Over time, between fear fading, and sleep overtaking me, I went on to sleep.  Slept rather well.  Dreamed, of talking to people.  Lots and lots of people.  People I am pretty sure are dead, some from long ago and I just don't know, and people who are living for almost certain, and live nearby.  I caught myself talking out loud, a time or two.  Had to chuckle.

Okay, sorting some things.

.

.

Called to set up dental.  To go to the one in SLC, it would be in October.  And a long drive.  They now have local access.  So, sure!  If I can get my teeth cleaned locally, I can probably make it much more regularly.  A four to six hour trip is... brutal.  Especially for me.  Some days.  Some days it is good.  So, I'm waiting on a list.  I then call one of them, they put in for a clearance, then... we arrange the time?  Something.

Next, I called to speak with my doctor.  His nurse, actually.  About the blood test.  Since I won't be going up to the VA soon, in SLC, I'd just have to get in for this.  But, they now have a clinic here locally.  So, sure.  I won't see their "medical", here.  No.  All female, pretty much.  All highly feminist.  No.  But, for a blood test?  Sure!  Saves me a very long trip.

Cooler.

.

.

It was just hitting 80 a bit before 18:00.  Must have been warm.  Not really hot, but it was cooling by then.  Last time I checked, it was 68 out there, so I opened up.  It's down to 64.  Or... was an hour ago?  Right... I... lost track.  Anyway, I opened up up and down stairs, and it is cooling indoors.

I also started taking care of some dishes.  Mostly inside.  But one pot had been left, with... something in it.  Something that has turned quite awful.  I added hot water and am leaving it out to... do a bit of something.  Then I'll sort it out, maybe add soap and hot water, and leave it outside again.  After scraping out what of the goop I can.  Ugh.  As well, I set up three dishpans.  All good.

Yes, I see you too.

.

.

I usually don't say much.  You visit as you will.  And... your... a guy.  Don't need notice.  Still, sometimes.  Just so you know.  I... do see.  This time?  A message.  You'll know.
