If you feel the pain you are alive. If you can feel other people’s pain, you are a human being.
Leo Tolstoy
My sunny day is here. Solar panels are producing. My batteries were at 23 percent I seem to remember that at 20 percent there is no power.
The pain and fatigue is worse. It is centered around my chest, but I am feeling random jolts of extreme pain in random parts of my body. Never twice and in wierd places, a fingertip one time a toe another, a muscle in my calf. There is also the ever present pain in my lungs, kidneys, knees, ankle, eyeballs,shoulder and bowels.
Last night I had a dream about a favorite deceased cat, Deakes. She was happy and I was happy to see her. It was so real. I don’t have an idea why. Lots of different theories on the internet. I still have her daughter, her turn to leave is coming. She has lost a lot of weight and is moving around with difficulty. I have always had a soft spot for her she was born blind in one eye.
The cats that are alive were all fed and watered this morning. I am making coffee and that is as far as I got.
I was making a great amount of electricity through the solar panels, then it almost stopped. It stopped because the sun is so low in the sky my house covers it in shadow. I knew this, at least I knew last January.
While I was making twenty amps, I decided to play a little xbox. During that time My piece of crap Bluetti decided to suddenly drop from 46% full to zero in a microsecond.
It took almost all I had gained to refill that. I am at 30% full on my solar batteries. That would get me through tonight.
I checked the forecast for tomorrow, partly cloudy in the morning, snow, ice and freezing rain in the afternoon. I need gasoline and all my grocery orders are in at the post office. About four hundred pounds worth. Walking was out.
The truth is walking to the end of the driveway was difficult. Dragging 400 pounds of groceries 4 miles after a four mile walk in deep snow was impossible.
There was no one I could call.
