51/55: Oh, the... Whatever

Tuesday night I went to bed early again, feeling tired and out of sorts. My afternoon trip to the mailbox had been particularly exhausting, and it took several minutes for me to catch my breath once I got back indoors. The day had ben windy, and there were dead leaves and other detritus scattered everywhere, and I think maybe a lot of the small stuff in the air was making it hard for me to breathe. It didn't help that I had fried some potatoes for a late afternoon lunch, and the air in the apartment got quite a bit of oily smoke into it. Turning the fan on for half an hour helped clean the indoor air a bit, at the cost of losing the afternoon warmth I'd collected. At least breathing was then a bit easier. It's likely that I'll be needing to get oxygen soon, and maybe an inhaler of some kind. But I'll put that off as long as possible, given how much I hate dealing with doctors and prescriptions and such.

Anyway, once I got to bed I managed to relax and breather and get to sleep, and though I later had some unpleasant periods of wakefulness that lasted quite a while, in the end I managed to sleep late this morning, and woke to a world still sadly littered and windier than I'd like. But I do have last night's dinner to look forward to as today's lunch. Tonight's dinner will become tomorrow's dinner, or perhaps Friday's lunch. The truth is I can easily afford to miss a meal or two. Or more. Or way more. Seriously, my arse is fat, and my joints being as creaky as they are I can barely move that weight around in bed, or drag it out of bed. Flopping it down is pretty easy, but might be ruining my mattress. Oh well. It will probably still outlast me.

Speaking of weight, the supermarket ads for this week have arrived, and though Safeway's is not great it does have a couple of decent deals for Friday. I'm not delighted, but I can live with it. Or die. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, with double bonus points for the other. Safeway LOL.
