Reset Forty-Three, Day Twenty-Seven
Sep. 3rd, 2022 07:03 amOminous aches and pains for Thursday, like noises from a careening car about to plunge over a cliff, but all I do is not eat and then go take a nap that lasted four unsatisfying hours. I can't recommend growing old, though most people seem to prefer it to the available alternative. What I really need is more distractions. They don't fix anything, but they can take your mind off what probably can't be fixed anyway.
A major wildfire is underway far to the north of here, and a good sized town called Weed is threatened. A number of houses and other buildings have already burned, and about 7,500 people have been evacuated. It's very bad luck that this fire coincides with the arrival of the worst heat wave so far this year. Forecasts still say that the mini-metropolis could get highs of up to 110, but other parts of the valley could be even hotter. Power outages remain a definite possibility. It's a crappy time to be sick.
Post-nap I finally got around to eating something (another sandwich) and my stomach isn't feeling great. I intend to go back to bed and read until I fall asleep, if sleep is possible. The aches and pains (now augmented by a stomach ache) might interfere. But at least I'll get some reading done, which is one of the distractions I need. I really must start eating smaller meals. Not only does food in excess of what I can burn in my lethargic state making me feel sick, it's making my ass fatter, and I don't want to have to buy new pants.
