Mis y Mas

Not able to acoomplish all I wanted, but I did allow myself slow and curl up time. That included finishing Nightwatch, and trying to finish other partial books on progress.

I also wanted time to watch some difficult videos on youtube. They aren't complex, or grisly. But depressing topic.

Fortunately, depressing topic presented with a mix of light and dark humor. Terry Pratchett discussing his Alzheimer's. One is the wonderful impassioned yet snarky speech given when he contributed a million dollars to The Alzheimer's Research Trust {"It's ok to laugh...I'm supposed to be a funny man"). The other is a 10 minute piece, divided into four 2-3 minutes bits, for the Alzheimer's Society. Quieter, with mild humor, but an deeper explanation of how his variant affects his life and mind.

It's a good and rare time to catch someone's astute observations at this point.

Segment 1 of the Alzheimer's donation speech, 5 minutes. 10 minutes for part 2:



Segment 1 of "Out of the Shadows". Each segment 2-3 minutes, four segments.



I do recommend this. Flag them for a time when you feel comfortable to watch.

Stayed home all day yesterday.

Woke up about 1am on Wed to the Shivers. (A more accurate description would be the Shakes, but I wasn't drunk). Could barely stand up to go to the bathroom---that's the sign of high fevers for me. Took 20 minutes under a an electric blanket on hight to warm up enough to fall back asleep.

Called the office in the morning, then slept in 2 and 4 hour increments, waking up to pee, then fall back onto the bed. Still unsteady on my feet. Finally "got up" around 5pm, looked at email, play with a meme. Back to bed. Had soup and juice for breakfast around 8pm.

No fever now, but coughing and all my muscles are stiff. Called the office again; will see if I can go in this afternoon. Tomorrow is the last day our office is going to be open until the New Year---I have sponsorships to post.

Think I'll go back to bed again.

Just want to assure that. But I might have a request.

My lower back has been in pain for over a week, and now my shoulders have decided to join them. I mean bad tight knot pain.

I'm going to do some yoga. I'm going to soak in a tub. I'm going to rub on some aspercreme or arthritis hot. I'm going to have a drink.

No, I'm going to have the drink first, then yoga, then hot water.

Tomorrow, either during (if there is room, time, or hands free) the stitch n bitch or after, I would REALLY farking appreciate any attempt at working my shoulders.
