Shaky, but back in the saddle

Damn!!! That Bug really did me in.   FYI,,, STAY HYDRATED!!!   That was my problem with my busted T-stat.   Got dehydrated and started going into hyporthermia.   Could NOT stay warm, even sitting in front of the woodstove.   Would start to feel warm and as soon as I moved off, COLD CHILLS kick back in.    Core temps were measured and 95.7 ain’t good,,, my usual is 96.8 (not the average of 98.6, go figure) but that extra degree drop off was precipitous,,,,   Cliff like!!!

WATER,,,,,

For good measure,  toss in a 1/2 cup of cider vinegar (per gallon) and 1/2 cup of honey.    Gets electrolytes up and actually quenches thirst, not just flushing the system.

It takes a couple of days for the bounceback to stabilize, and I have had up-down moments, but they are getting thinner and shorter.    Still have a hack, but its a productive one, and clear. The sinuses are clear, but I continue with the saline rinses (they frellin’ work!!!)

and I lost 10 pounds

Likely some of that is water weight,,,   But I haven’t really ate much in 5 days either: no appetite.              Da come up the hill, with something for me to try: the very smell of it caused my gag reflex to kick in.   Not that it was bad, but my body is sayin’ “FOOD? Ohh to the hell NO!,,,, “

Until this morning that is.   Growllies going on, and a hollow spot below my left ribcage that wants attention (and more than a damned cup-o-coffee dude!)

Been trying to keep up with things, but I am finding getting some information is harder.   Like trying to keep up with whos confirmed and who is still in hearings.    Utoob ain’t helping because the algorithm will show you the hearings and ONLY the streaming ones, and those are WEEEKS old in most cases.   Then a Giggles search will pull  up 2020 nominees or some such,,, ya gotta dig, and even then, the articles are from last week of January, and MIGHT be updated,,,,,

and with the preponderous amounts of energy at my disposal….   I manage about 3 minutes of that shit and I am exhausted,,,,

Been trying to sleep, A LOT,  and only in the last 24 hrs have I started seeing more than a few minutes at a stretch.  HIt a fulll two hours straight last night,    So The body is getting back in balance; still a bit more to go.    Later today, I am going to hit the park and just walk the perimeter, get the blood flowing and maybe help drive some more of this crap out of my chest with the effort.  

My camalbak is my friend again,,,,    Ain’t goin’ nowhere without lumpy on my shoulders right now.

I ain’t Twenty-sumpin anymore, despite what the brainium thinks,,,,,

PS: I know I Give Francis fits with my Grammer,,, a little background; I had a series of New England Grammer Teachers in my formative years, YES, I do know proper grammer,,,

I am also a contrarian, more south-western than Yank, and am surrounded by Southern’s that will look at you all side-eyed if you go correcting THEIR grammer (or lack of)  

Besides,,, when I apply the full grammer code in my writing , it always feels stilted and stiff and I prefer to leave it at the curb for reference only.

Thats my story and I am stickin’ too it.
