My health today is marginal. That is good for me. Only slight dizziness, pain is mostly in my left shoulder unless a small kitten steps on my broken foot. That isn&#8217;t much fun, lots of deleted expletives.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s swearing for the simple folks like me. Which I did do and again when my $7.99 on sale Canadian tire corn broom snapped in two again and sliced through my finger. I was doing things I shouldn&#8217;t do with a broom. I just needed it to push a difficult piece of wood out of the way so I could sweep. It is repaired again white glue dripping.<\/p>\n<p>I am almost out of wood again. I only have 3 small logs left to split. I don&#8217;t feel much like chainsawing, I am hoping to tackle cleaning the top of my desk today. Maybe even find my van keys. It is the most likely location.<\/p>\n<p>I just looked at my finger it needs a couple of stitches, for me, that means either super glue or a wrap of gorilla tape. I tried that a few weeks ago. I had a slice on my finger that was longer than the width of the gorilla tape (no I am not paid for promoting any products). After a few days, I had a look under there, where the tape was the slice was joined together and healed. Below that it was not. My finger was a ghostly white under the tape but healed.<\/p>\n<p>I am up in my loft typing this it is the only cat-free room in the heated part of the house. The only thing that lives here now is a few plants, some parsley and some kale, which I need to remember to water more often.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6811\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/2020\/02\/25\/feb-25-2\/img_20200225_134816\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1582638497&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;108&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_20200225_134816\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6811 size-full\" style=\"border: 6px solid #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-scaled.jpg 2560w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/IMG_20200225_134816-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI have to go soon the fridge motor tinnitus has started again it is deafening.

I made some quinoa macaroni with tuna. Big pain everywhere. Not sure I can do anymore work today.<\/p>\n<p>I have survived whatever the health crisis was I\u00a0 had this evening. It wasn&#8217;t food poisoning it was something else. It was brutal. Chest pains, breathing problems,\u00a0 dizziness, headaches, nausea all at once. I have a bad pain left side of my abdomen.<\/p>\n<p>Tinnitus is back. I need to have something making noise it is the silence that is hard. Lately, it&#8217;s binge-watching DS9. If I keep that playing I don&#8217;t notice the deafening noise.
