Long after my memory has been ravaged by time and disease. Thats if I live through another year.<\/p>\n<p>I have something growing on my thyroid, my lung, my kidneys and I am sure other places.<\/p>\n<p>I do little things and I am completely fatigued.<\/p>\n<p>Today I fed the cats, gathered snow started a fire, scrounged around my woodwork shop for scraps of wood to burn. Then cut up what could be cut, stomped on the thin pieces to break them up.<\/p>\n<p>Today I woke with a very sore neck, actually above my neck. The mass of muscle and nerve at the top of my spine hurt. My thyroid hurt bad. I also had another bad coughing fit.<\/p>\n<p>Walking was difficult, especially through deep snow, stairs and obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>I just filled a gas can for the gen. Yes, I brought a new carboard box for the boy cats. They love them, and over the next few days I would tear pieces to help start the fire. I save them all summer just for that. Until that they would explore, inhabit, sleep in and tear it apart. It would all end up in the fire.<\/p>\n<p>I filled the kettle with more snow. Coffee would be getting here slowly.<\/p>\n<p>I could just fire up the camp stove, but no. I have one filled small can of propane, twenty empties.<\/p>\n<p>One of these days I would refill more. Not today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24049\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/2023\/01\/08\/jan-8-3\/20230108_103603\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1152\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-A515F&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1673174164&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;1.74&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00206611570248&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230108_103603\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-300x135.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-1024x461.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24049 size-full\" style=\"border: 6px solid #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1152\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-scaled.jpg 2560w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-300x135.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-1024x461.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-768x346.jpg 768w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-1536x691.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_103603-2048x922.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24050\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/2023\/01\/08\/jan-8-3\/20230108_104043\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1152\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-A515F&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1673174443&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;1.74&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230108_104043\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-300x135.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-1024x461.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24050 size-full\" style=\"border: 6px solid #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1152\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-scaled.jpg 2560w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-300x135.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-1024x461.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-768x346.jpg 768w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-1536x691.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/01\/20230108_104043-2048x922.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I put wet cat litter in the fire at the wrong time.
