This is gonna sting,,,
Made it out of house, but no work today since 60% of Emps at J.O.B. are down with the grubbies I have been fighting. (and I can almost hear the condemnations now,,,, Bastach got us ALL sick!!!!)
So at the ‘stead, taking care of me, took a power nap (been doing A LOT of that lately,,,) and now, working on the porch, swappin’ out rotted timber for good. The high humidity of this area and that damned algea that grows on anything that sits still for five minutes; I have a few boards that are feeling ‘squishy’.
and its getting my lame butt out in the sun and warm air (gonna hit 60+today,,,)
And I am good for about 5 minutes before I am doubled over hackin’,,,,,
Persistence. This bug certainly is,,,, SO STICK TO THE PLAN ,,,, Burn this shit out of the system. Sunlight,,, its obvious the bug doesn’t like it,,, get some,,,,
ordered some Ivermectin yesterday,,, should be here soon. I’m hoping this shit will be licked by then, but from all accounts of others that have had it,,, Seems 3=4 weeks is the usual, and thats WITH antibiotics to kick it around.
Good news though,,, I’ve lost 8lbs,,,, Between burning fevers and zero appetite,,,,,Drinking lots of liquids but eats have been rather lean and usually ‘eat something you fool!’ induced by willpower.
My only hope is that what I am losing is ‘extra’ and not muscle mass.
Spring is right around the corner though; I can start to put the muscle back on soon enough. I could smell the water while out this morning and that drove me about bonkers,,, With current physical conditions though,,,, yah, I know better than pushing certain limits. No desire to be hospital bound,,,,
anywhooos,,,, gotta get back out in this sun and keep doing my body some good, as well as my porch,,,,,




Dammit man! Good thing yer a stubborn ass Marine!! Anyway, best of luck to ya fer whippin that sheeiit – and soon. And yer correct in that it probly ain’t a good idea to push the limits – horse-pitals are fer sick folk! Mr. Sun definitely helps, too.
‘Preciate the link fer the Iver as well. Gotta take care of that oversight meself. Also unnerstand ’bout the humi-did-ity🙄 Stiff upper lip, and all that🥂 I’ll think good thoughts fer ya!
Y’all take care,
Mike in FLA.
