Now that was a sleep.

.
.
Wow.  Down at noon thirty yesterday, up at 5:30 this morning.  The work, trips to town, and all, pretty much floored me.  Well, and it is still getting down into freezing at night.  I woke a few times to go to the bathroom, and dreamed much.  All that I can remember, or all save one I merely remember my feelings regarding, were good.  The one I actually remember was one about all the unrequited loves from when I was in grade school. Yeah, I had actual lovers already, so these were considered.  It was good to have female friends, back when that was possible.  The truth is, at least for me, it is women who can't just be friends.  Something about something?  Whatevs.  I have dreamed of other sorts of those.  A favorite dream theme, cherished memories, friends, and even some flirts.

I'm thinking of putting chicken in the oven, a whole one.  Perhaps mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans?  Yeah.  It would warm the house too.  Hopefully I might hit the trees and make some calls after that.  Then make it to mid evening before sleeping again.  I must have been really tired.  I haven't slept like that in a very long time.

Another dark day.  No wind, tree work should be easy enough.  It's more about warming up, fuelling up, and getting going.  My arms are still sore from tree trimming, and perhaps the massage.  Perhaps a body only shower.  If you shower too much, at least for me, lotion might help.  I bought bag balm, to compare with the others.  It is the best for holding moisture.  We'll see about the rest in time.  I am hitting knees, elbows, arms, legs, and feet.  The rest seems to do fine without, save occasional kefir on the face.  Eats the dead and burned.  I think mixing them will be a better bet.  Allows for showers when clean but needing to warm or cool.

Have a good morning.

Out and back.

.
.
A massage, at 9:00?  I woke at a quarter to eight.  It's a good thing I both remembered and had mojo.  I jumped, showered, and was still out before eight.  I just can't go for a massage without showering fresh.  It helped that I showered yesterday.  Clean on clean is easy.  The new gal did well.  It's a blessed thing.  I sent a short prayer of thanks... before nearly blanking with what goes on in mind and body.  Oh, no changing into robes.  Those came mid thigh, which means, essentially, a mini skirt.  *wink*  If I work the ladies up any more than I already do I might have to flee... or die rested until they finish with me.

Then to the grocery store.  I know, I swore off meat, but...  And veggies, brand name, were on for ten for ten.  I bought those in three types, plus mixed fruits, beans, and smaller cans of tomatoes.   That should keep me for months.  Chicken hindquarters, more pork, and a steak.  I had to think about the steak.  It was that or Jimmie Johns.  The steak won, and was barely cheaper.  Next, the hardware store.  I had enough cash in case there was a card problem again.  Wood blades, in two lengths.   Supposed to last five times as long.  I'll find out.  Card went through.

Nice, goodie, grand.  I have the steak salting, a potato and sweet potato baking, a can of corn drained, ready to be buttered and cooked with the steak right on the grill, in the can.  I fed the girls, will do their litter shortly.  I may nap after lunch?  If I can, I am hoping to make a few calls and trim three more easier to reach branches.  Or... well... not.  It's time to start the grill.  Have a great day.  Later.

A solid day.

.
.
Tree limb cutting and processing, a doctor appointment, and some shopping... an attempt at shopping anyway.

The other evergreens were completed.  Lower branches were cut so even I may walk under them without ducking.  Then another tree was cut to encourage upward, not outward growth.  Then most of that was processed.  As well, areas were tilled.  It looks like asparagus is dead, and where it was won't work.  The tilled area will work.  I need to order some for fast track delivery.  The jerusalem artichokes didn't winter, if in part because they didn't get water through late summer.  I have new bulbs, will put those into the soil, as well as the horseradish which did survive (bigger tub, more water reserve).  Or I'll leave the horseradish until I harvest in the fall?  We'll see.  Half the rhubarb survived, all of one kind if I can't remember which variety.  That is in the ground already.

After branching, I had to jump in the shower and run.  In time, easily, but just, too.  BP was pretty rough, and that is from me.  Blood test will show A1C.  Bleh.  I discussed potassium.  I guess this new stuff is what is available.  I'd rather have the old stuff.  I also learned of a blood sugar tester and strips he, as a diabetic, recommends.  I ordered those right away.  I know, I know.  I've fallen down on some of this.  I'll call in and schedule for July, to be ready for driver license paperwork.  Swimming?  He thinks that would be good.  On my call list now.

Then I went to the hardware store, for wood blades, for the sawsall.  My credit card didn't work, but I had just used it at the doctor office, then to pay for blood tests.  Whatever.  I'll try again soon.

A good day.  I am quite tired.  Pleased.  I'll keep at it.  Good night.

Did good, thus blog, get the memo?

.

As I mentioned, I don't care.  I knew I was much more widely read than indicated.  I also mentioned that it doesn't matter to me what they do about readership stats, at least in an economic way.  They would have demonetized me anyway.  I am sure I am more widely read than indicated even since they changed things, if that is due to tech out of their ability to track, probably.

It could be a fluke, too.  If it isn't the only thing which has changed, or on just their platform.  I think they caught a glimpse of the murderous rage out there, and realized they... are few and putzes, as is their security.  If you can piss off an old vegan vagina to the point she murders people, wait until the more aggressive figure out they are being trashed, stifled, etc.  I am surprised it hasn't already happened.  Then again who knows.  They might have been able to shut down reports, until now.

Perhaps they don't like counting from sources they can't verify, as ad money is tightening and becoming demanding as to reality of clicks, and often the exclusion of conservatives.  They are trying to eliminate conservatives all together, if apparently others as well.  Perhaps the woman's problem was she was Iranian and Iran didn't like her?  How much pull do nations and even corporations have on shutting people down?  Is it pull or by fee, both?

All I know is, this month I am at nearly 8k, if dailies are more in the 130 to 170 range.  And other platforms have stopped jacking me around, or as often.  Though, even as an old vegan, her actions and loss are unfortunate.  I don't currently worry about the other side.  I think she did open some eyes to the situation though.  Next time I have a drink I'll raise one to her... even if I get shut down for writing this.

Days and nights are switching.

.
.
First, with help I was out in the sun, almost, for some hours.  Enough to get a sunburn if some know that doesn't take much.  At least just post winter.  That kicked things off.  And I was awake until after 17:00 that evening.  Similar the next night, then 23:19 last night, from a number of missteps.  Even so, all good.  I think that can be tamped down, back to a better sleep time.  I woke at 5:19, but didn't actually rise for just at an hour later.  I didn't stay down because of exhaustion, it just seemed too early given the bedtime.  More sleep was futile, and I could rest no more.  Only one option remained.

Phone calls, when business hours resume.  Perhaps to town, or tomorrow.  One of my intentions was thwarted yesterday.  And there is another thing I'd like to consider plus roof coatings I'd like to learn more about.  Some of those would are extremely spendy.  Some seem quite cheap, too cheap?  Gotta sort that out.  If I am going spendy, or even middling, buying in batches might be best.  Though, with gooder(tm), I may not need to replace bolts?  A very high price point might, or nearly, pay for itself.  Though that might be bumpkiss too.  Salesman and companies will sell you whatever you want to hear, reality be damned.  And many reviewers are bought and sold on the hard, even rather cheaply, when they aren't company (pro or con) stooges.  When fung Enquish reviews, can tell Chiner maki, boat for an agrainst.  :p

Sleep was good.  No pain.  Still a bit sleepy, if normal morning type.  The kefir water is doing very well.  The last batch has been refrigerated.  The recent bottled batch received more (about a third(ish) more by volume), and varied dried fruit (chopped dates and craisins), and is carbonating much better and faster.  I am excited to see how well these work out, and will be adding more fruit next time.  Seeking the golden volumes.  Gah!  I need to get a lab notebook and begin keeping as absolute of notes as possible.  There is probably a way to measure carbonation via it's ability to buoy various masses/shapes and at specific temps... if I were to guess at reinventing that wheel.  I suspect there are not only presets, but industry standards based on those.  It's how my mind does, if my body is able.  Science is engineering as Einhorn is Finkle.  It's... an ugly truth, makes people uncomfortable, and can cause nausea.  At the end of the day it is what it is.  Functional science is, and only, engineering.  The rest is mostly fiction.

Yeah, things to do.  Heck, if the wind has ceased I might even get out and trim the trees.  Some, all?  What I can do.  Oh, and learning to notate and test kefir soda will get me too do the same for soap.  I need it much more for soap than soda.  Soda can't burn anything, soap can be harsh in two ways.  But soda is less complex, so a better starting project.

One last note.  I have started buying small ac units.  Hopefully to fit in various windows, to be programmed to hit when the sun is past or not there.  It's a cheap(er) fix for heat, at least by initial cost.  Running expense?  The one I have still works, if the remote control may not.  I'll try new batteries.  But it isn't enough for the whole house, or the main part.  I want more.  I ordered a 5k. If it fits, I may try an 8k.  Running them lightly, on a sun/shade based schedule, where they will fit, plus with the stone walls, I am hoping to figure out how to keep the place more reasonable.  Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, it isn't all about...  Get.  It.  Done.

Later.

Mix and sort.

.
.
The wind is shooting out there.  I could probably still get up a ladder to cut limbs, but I don't believe that to be the choicest idea.  As well, I am not up to talking.  A trip to town, for cat litter and cat food, groceries, and perhaps the hardware store.  While I am going again soon, I don't want to be piling up shopping on top of those.  And I always forget something(s).  Plus, if I shop today, then I only have calls the next few days, restful things that won't dig into the rest.  The branches I'll save until the wind backs off.  I'll bet it's hitting 20 to 30 gusts.

A shower, no shave.  I'll get dressed shortly, and out.  I think I have a couple month's supply of cat food, but when I open it, that's it.  I like to have an open supply plus four month's of canned, and usually about six to eight month's of dry.  I like to have four months of poorly tended litter, which nearly doubles with daily scooping, if I am only human... sort of.  Dry is good, wet is at a third, and litter is all gone.

I have to get veggies.  I am holding off on more meat, mostly.  Perhaps bacon.  What I have should last.  I am planning to go to ribeyes, from the butcher, this next month... a couple plackets, 1/2", 1", and 1 1/2", about equal numbers... to test what, or which, cuts will work best.  While I am not officially fasting or doing keto, I am doing worse by doing those but doing them poorly.  Steady as she goes is best, even if a bit off it is superior to eclectic consumption.  I'll buy some canned veggies, if I'll wait, join Sam's Club again, then really stock in over the next few months.  Food, love to hate it, buy it.  Especially knowing what it all turns into!

I best get dressed and going.  Later.

A strange night.

.
.
Or so it seems.  I'll do the math as I write.

I went to bed well after 17:00, definitely slightly before 18:00.  In the high 30's to 40's.  I looked, then checked again, if that is as good as memory works when I am that tired.  I slept well but needed the fan.  If I don't need it for cool, which oddly, has... or hasn't depending how you see it... been the case lately... due to extended cool or reduced health?  Anyway, while I don't need it for the extra chill, I can tolerate it and need it for extra air.  Lungs are cranky, difficult to breath while reclining, just... the body being tired?  It is as if breathing is too much work.

I really should look into swimming again.  Along with massages, meds, and else...

The kefir water is working out exceptionally well!  As long as it isn't flat it really works well.  Fizz galore, both in what has been bottled and what was reset.  I am out of dry fruit, which is what makes it work.  I used dried cherries, which I will replace.  I also intend to try craisins, raisins, ginger, and perhaps mango.  I love it when it starts to make sense, the process and the plan.

I woke around 1:15ish.  So... seven hours and change?  It seems a bit short, shorter on sleep than the numbers account.  I'll probably need a nap before long.  Mostly business calls today, though some work too, hopefully.  Maybe inside and out.  I'd really like to get more tree limbs.  As much to get that touched up as to get outside and do real work.  A nap will be required to be sure.

Later.

A day down.

.
.
Well and truly worn, or I would do something.  I am still hoping to finish the few dishes rinsing, perhaps do a bit of work in the kitchen, and spiffy the bathroom.  I did cook a bit of food, burger and rice.  Along with cheddar and a glass of milk, it worked well.  It seems to have warmed the body.  Oh, and maybe a shower.  I did fuss with the water kefir, bottling some, resetting another batch.

I am staying water free, in the lungs and legs.  Work, water pills, massages, and pedicures all seem to work to keep pathways open.  I am keeping up on lotion, every two or three wake/sleep cycles.  It seems to be enough, as it continues to take very little lotion, and there is no snagging of wool or cotton socks.  It is still strange how my feet go from burning hot to numb or even burning cold.  It just doesn't make sense.  Oh, I am hitting the elbows now as well.  Even using a single dab for both feet there is enough remaining for the hands, arms, and elbows.  Amazing.  Odd though, we become high maintenance right about the time(s) we become less able to tend those needs.  So be it.

I didn't expect too much today.  I really, for me, of late, did a lot yesterday.  I even got a solid sunburn, and it wasn't full sun, plus I avoided the sun... or really being out of shade.  Lobster look.  A cooked one.  Yeah, that gets to me too.  Well, and it's back to being a dark day.  Ugh.  It almost feels as if more precipitation is coming.   Yeah.

All good.  I'll do what is possible over doing the impossible as is.  Good day.

Actually, I was busy.

.
.
Neighbor's son number three visited.  Time to begin mowing, which meant taking off the plow and tire chains, then installing the the mower deck.  We were going to sharpen the blades, too, but oops.  This fall.  It took a bit, mostly looking up instructions.  Well, and messing with the air compressor.  It is dumping air through the moisture dump on the bottom.  Have to deflate the tires to get the chains off, which means reinflation.  Got it done, but barely.  Damned companies these days, and that was DeWalt.

The mower is ready, if it could use oil.  The weedwhip started right up too.  But we also cut saplings and shoots, cut branches from one of the evergreens and removed those and regular fallen branches to the town branch collection station.  Oh, used the cordless sawsall on the branches and all.  I wasn't expecting much.  I was wrong.  Using the most powerful battery I have, it chewed through three inch branches with ease.  I think even a six inch branch.

Between this and that, we ended up doing a goodly lot of work.  Tinkering, to figure things out, while technically doing nothing, is sometimes a lot more work than doing something... often.  I will see about a phone number, about the air compressor, and call that tomorrow.  I want that ready to go.  I think it is powerful enough to jack two roofing nailers at a time, at least, if it will hold air.

I also asked about work this summer.  Help with the roof.  New larger bolts and painting.  Just the lower areas, for now.  And, if time and money holds, shingling the shed.  Yeah.  He believes so.  Just wants to check with the parents.  Either way, I'll be hitting that this summer.  It's more about how much will be done, and how fast.  Hmm, best look at paint/sealers, see what won't be a problem for rain water collection... a project for next summer, or the next two summers.  Perhaps most of the gutters up (all bought) next summer, and the big holding tank and final connections the summer after that?  Everything ends up costing more than it seems it would.

We worked so that with cooling down, I didn't get to bed until 17:00, well into it... Actually 18:19, I looked right before jumping down the rabbit hole.  When I crashed, it was a fast lights out.  Nothing like a little work to sleep as a child.

He wasn't expecting it, didn't help for it, but beside what was done, I was grateful to have someone give me a push to work, that I offered a small coin gratuity.  Not a full worth, but not a sneezer either.  Anyway, that is why no post.  I really was busy, then too tired.

I am hoping to springboard from this on to more solo work.  Branches from the other evergreens, perhaps clean the garage, straightening tools, and kitchen work.  I am up on things, dishes and airing anyway.  Now to dig deeper.  Figuring out tools will be a general help in part of the kitchen.  Yeah.  Today was great, but as with a few other things, it ain't over.

Good morning and day.

Timing, and memory, are off.

.
.
I can't remember when I went to sleep.  I suspect it was 10:00, 10:30, or noon thirty.  By memory, perhaps as late as 14:30, if I think that is when milk showed up, so no.  Though I can't actually remember when it arrived, being that I was awaken mid-sleep, can rarely remember during such.  Still, I think as I write.  Oh, I woke around 22:00-22:30.  Most probably.

I didn't call about the appointment, I'll do that today.  I didn't set up the carts, will do that as well.  I jacked the furnace in hopes of slaking the chill, to no good.  I'll try again today.  Even with a shower I just can't get or stay warm.  Still, better than being too hot, if I have to choose.  I'll still set up a bath and jack the furnace again today.  Did someone say mid-April?  It was 35 F at 10:00-11:00 today.  Really?  Kewl.  ;p

Dinner is on.  A pork roast, potato, and a glass of milk.  Nothing fancy, but it will do.  I herbed the roast well, an Italian blend, plus salt and pepper.  As well, I am roasting it in cast iron. I do it for flavor, but for those literally low on iron, a frequent problem for dames, it really does add iron to the diet.  I really need to purchase canned veggies.  I can't keep up on frozen.  Perhaps not the best, but beats nothing.  Three or four cans a week, max, would do more good than not.  Yeah.  A can of regular beats would be good, heated and buttered.

I have just been easing into the day.  Turning the furnace up might help.  It may just be health. When the furnace and independent thermometers read 74 F, and your are freezing...  That is why a bath is under consideration.  Crazy.  I can only imagine those who have, and have had it, really cold.  Still, lie about things, for religion, politics, economics, or any reason, especially to redistribute wealth (to elites and the lazy, if in a way I repeat), and you get what you deserve.  It ain't over.

Well, I'll try to get after a few things.  May you get to a few things as well.

Good morning and day.  Hupp!

That was easier than anticipated.

.
.
I thought constructing the carts was going to be a bear.  The boxes weigh forty, perhaps sixty, pounds.  As weak as I have been, tired, the notion weighed on my mind.  I am familiar with the process, bars, double clips, friction.  It can ce a bit much, especially when they are seven feet tall.  The last one was that, or nearly.  Most people can't do those solo.

It turns out these were very easy... once I got them out of the box.  Actual assembly took less time than opening and setting up the effort.  Even that didn't take much time, if it did take solid work.  If it took fifteen per, I'd say ten minutes average time.  Then I put an umbrella stand together, so fast I laughed at it and the other fears.

I realized I needed to clean small mouth jars, for cream, or I have to do non-refundable deposits.  I had to transfer the cream, first.  I set the other dishes to wash, and jar lids.  But I hit the jars themselves.  Washed, twice, rinsed, and drying.  I'll get the rest shortly.  Can only do so much.  A shower, and shave it is hoped, after dishes.  Then some calls.  Reset the missed appointment and see about getting or giving the jars.  Ugh.

I'm hungry, but not.  Eggs?  That doesn't sound good, or on it's own.  What?  I'll think about it.  Later.

By the numbers.

.
.
Seven.

A strange day.

.
.
I did get a shower taken, then to the post office, just in time for a package.  Then to lunch.  That was it.  It was snowing today.  Some seem less surprised.  And, since I see what I do, I absolutely shouldn't be shocked, I was.  Why?  Knowing, seeing, doesn't change feeling.  We are getting it quite mild, even this late, compared to the rest of the country, even world.  Even with them suppressing the real temps, and snowfall depths, the whole world population is waking.  All fun and games until everyone is watching and cooking the books becomes impossible.

As to work, that was it.  I was awake until 14:00, probably closer to 14:30, then just woke at 21:00ish.  Sleep was quite good.  Dreams of a very good, if private sort.  No, nothing... just not all things are to be shared.  Yes, good sleep and dreams.  A bath today.  Just because, if not right away.

I still have dinner dishes.  Just a few.  I will reset those, but the main impetus is the carts and drying rack.  Oh, then calling about the missed appointment.  The first and hopefully the last.  Being able to make and reset within a week makes a world of difference.  I just forgot the day change.  It happens.  If anything else, beside dishes as an aside, clearing here in the living room... clearing and organizing.  I can sort boxes while I sit, if that can be as exhausting as any physical labor... probably less though, with the lung problem complicating physical function.  It's just, say, a 20 to 25 percent impediment, but that adds up.

I'll get some of it.  Later.

A nap in there, somewhere.

.
.
I can't say when, or even how long.  I think it was around three hours, though more likely shorter by feel.  Though it might have been as long as five hours.  It's the cold.  Not so much weather as body.  Putting calories in doesn't mean the body can use them, or will.  There is a reason not to eat sometimes.  Or at least be cautious how much to put in.  It just sits in there.

It was sprinkling.  Just barely.  I wasn't sure until I took a close look.  Sam wanted out anyway.  I know she is wanting sun and warmth.  I am fearing that.  It can't be cool all spring and summer though.  I have decided not to put a new furnace and ac in this year, though a new window ac might be in the works.  It's a matter of keeping cash on hand, not going below a certain amount.

I will do other things this fall though.  Perhaps electrical, maybe new refrigerators and possibly a dishwasher?  If I do electrical it may only be partial, but I'll clear branches while at it.  I have been rethinking tankless water heating.  That would require an electrical main upgrade.  They are expensive, but they last a lot longer.  They are probably cheaper to run, if the real advantage is... done right... never ending hot water.  If, in truth, I only want it to open a lot of space in the tiny bathroom.  If the main one quits, I may go tankless with that too.  That one can be hooked to gas.  I have thought about checking into propane as well, to be used for heating in rooms vents can't go as well.  So many possibilities, options, considerations.

I'd best get a shower in, then start on the carts.  I am guessing, as a crow works, showering to implementing carts shouldn't take more, or much more, than three hours. A couple of rest periods in there may double it.  It really is difficult to breath.  I'll get to a bath right now.  Later.

Harsh.

.
.
Breathing is difficult.  It isn't fluid in there.  It feels like the muscles are weak, it is taking some serious effort to pull and push air in.  It's not the heart, lung tissue, or fluid.  I don't know what would have caused the problem.  It reminds me of when coaches pushed too hard, then during a week down, over a slow recovery.

I did the dishes.  Supper dishes are soaking, but that is just a pan, a bowl, and a small fork.  I woke around 19:00, no idea when I went to bed.  I must have crashed really suddenly, heavily.  Missed an appointment, I'll fix it.  Didn't remember, saw a message but it didn't make sense.  Yeah.  I will make dinner shortly.  Hungry, a good thing, more since I eat so little lately.

With dishes pretty much out of the way, getting to the carts, perhaps the rack, should be easy.  It is time to work with kefirs in the fridge, and all sourdoughs as well.  A bath and shower after dinner, then carts, then the rest as I am able.  I need to wash my hair but can't do that while bathing, thus a quick shower.  It seems slow.  Perhaps it is.  But I am getting somewhere.  Seriously, everyone should know I shouldn't be alive.  Tell me about being judgmental, while forgetting that, is not only worse, it is petty.  Some people are being dropped for it.

Later.

A steady pace.

.
.
Not as fast as hoped if about as fast as should have been expected.  Everything soaking, plus everything set ready beside the sink done.  A load from elsewhere has been set, and most pots and the steamer are collected by the sink.  Supper just wasn't all that pleasing, so I hit up oatmeal, which is just finishing.  At least the bathroom is in excellent shape.

As to airing, the next time I am up I'll hit that?  Or soon.  It is improving.  Keeping up on cat litter, dealing with trash and dishes, takes care of most of it.  The residual still has to be removed, and anything beside air flow simply masks it.  Taking a bath first, though, seems prudent.  The improvement in air quality is significant, I just want more.

Almost surprised.

.
.
Down around noon.  Wanted to stretch into the day, but mostly wanted to feed the girls.  Did not want to feed them early.  It was a push.  Then awake at 20:00, an eight hour cycle.  I thought I would sleep more, definitely surprised.  Hungry.  Rice as a side tonight.  Perhaps cabbage, the stuff is good if buttered and salted.  Although meat, especially beef and pork, really make it sing.  Awake and definitely hungry, if I am eating less, both per meal and the frequency of meals.

I'd like a shower, but would prefer to get a probable nap out of the way.  I hate cleaning up, then sleeping.  It undoes... something.  I could shower twice, or bath then shower.  It seems wasteful, I can't get cleaner, but it is a pleasant occasional luxury.  And soaking feet from time to time, along with a pumice treatment is good.

Dishes... getting close.  When I get tea, I'll reset those soaking.  So close.  The dishes, carts, bath, and more airing out tonight.  I think I can.  The place is a lot smoother than it was, if I am not getting very far either.  I have been so close, several times.  I'll keep trying.  Oh, and I will price a dumpster rental.  When I have sorted enough, I'll pull the trigger on that.  It's the right time of year, money should be okay, it's time.

As well as resetting, rice is going.  Dinner in a bit.  Mostly bulky items, so dishes should be a breeze, plus they have been washed at least once.  I'm sure I'll get to a few things tonight.  Later.

Not quite.

.
.
No work, no post, no doctor.  Nothing troubling other than simple exhaustion.  I was trying to stretch so as to do everything, ending doing nothing.  Well, I did call to reschedule.  I really try to do at least that.  I will make it to the post office tomorrow, somehow.  Crashing, nothing else today, bedtime.

My feet are freezing.  Lotion for the feet will help this time.  Probably.  Funny, as soon as I cooled down, I pretty much became too chilled to function.  As well, I broke my glasses.  I have a spare, if it isn't optimal.  I may see about the VA for those, and dental.  Though I will ask for the numbers so as to order spares.  I'd like to have two pair of bifocals and two pair of standard.  In a tough situation, often in general, I don't need easy readers.

I have to go on to bed.  Good night and morning.

A good sleep.

.
.
More than a nap, less than a full cycle.  A hybrid, if I would still be asleep if possible.  I have to take breaks from putting lotion on my feet and legs.  Otherwise they burn, which is what woke me.  I have tried with or without socks... the only advantage to socks is that they can be removed, which can buy extra rack (sleep) time.  Still one or two times, every other day?  I'll figure it out.  I... just can't always keep up, if the whys sometimes are of reason, other times just a form of reality.  What can't be won't be, reason be damned.

A bite after waking.  Pork and salsa.  I didn't have salsa with it for supper, too many other things going on.  Salsa didn't fit in either.  Nothing fancy but it should help.

Burning up still.  The feet and legs started it, waking me.  Now I've got a minor sweat as if I had been working.  It has been whole body since shortly after waking.  With the furnace down, this is odd.  It's not a fever, just...  I have eaten more than usual.  That could be it.

I hope to get to dishes before long.  If it is sunny, or warmer, I'll do more airing.  Today is less about work than business.  Dishes are simply needed for more goals, so have priority status.  A shower in a bit as well.  Just bumbling through this morning.  I need to cool off.  Later.

About as good as I can do.

Without using or making sauces, loaded with sugar, salt, or other items I need to avoid, everything from raw, only a few pure ingredients.  I can make food so good tasting it is addictive.  But it isn't good for me, or anyone else.  A simple blood sugar test will clue you in.  Though eating too much can have similar effects, spiking the reading.  I have found that eating the right foods, once you get used to them, is a natural limit... higher animal fats is the real key.

Supper was quite good.  Cabbage, pork, potato, butter, raw milk, and sour cream.  I doubt if I consumed three quarters of a pound.  Though I haven't been eating, that is becoming a more usual dose.  I may even need a nap shortly, if that is probably because I am not eating often.  All good.

Of course, I had to finish some dishes.  While doing that, I hit everything else and set up a third small tub of dishes.  I am getting things done.  The odor is going, if not quite done.  A few more airings and it should be good.  I will keep at it.  So tired.  Not a bad thing.  I have things to do tomorrow.  A nap, even a long one, might really help.
