So far today, moved and stacked 200 lbs of wood, 40 lbs of wood pellets for cat litter, 100 lbs of used cat litter out to the pile, 60lbs of urine and swept the fire room full of sawdust. After that gather 60 lbs of snow to melt on the woodstove to melt for drinking, both me and the cats. When all that feels like ten times that due to muscle weakness it’s a lot.
My reward a Japanese Mandarin orange and some cold coffee, and the satisfaction knowing I can still function during the decline of my health. Of course, right now I am soaked in sweat, and exhausted and in pain. I will have to rest for an hour or so to be able to do more.
I need to move another 120 lbs of stuff then it is outside to chainsaw 500 lbs of blocks, haul them inside split them and push them back into the fire room. I need to try to get as much done as I can today. I am hoping to travel tomorrow. That may be unrealistic. Another snowstorm coming.
I still have my kitchen to clean, office to clean. The pains of the day, neck, shoulders, wrist, back with a smattering of kidney pain. Add some nausea, dizziness and everything that goes with it. Oh and a couple of swollen lymph nodes on my left side.
Well like I Have Said Before “I Just Keep Going Till I Can’t, Then I Turn Left And Go A Little Further.”
Take care, be safe and have a Merry Christmas
