Notes - sluggish / 4, 5 and 6 ready to keyboard

         Late morning. Carol is running errands as you watch CNN focusing on the gas explosion in Harlem. You took a pain pill and are suddenly tired. More later. – Amorella

         Carol drove over for a prescription painkiller if you need it tonight. Today your hands ache with a 6+ sometimes and they feel heavy. You think it is a bout of arthritis. You had nuked asparagus and meatloaf for lunch that tasted very good and are settling in the black lounge chair in the bedroom. About an hour ago the rain turned to snow but so far that’s been it. Everything else is fine and you are feeling pretty good except for the heavy hands. Carol may have to drive you to your appointment tomorrow and up to Westerville. She will go to supper with Mary Lou after shopping then you will come home, at least that is plan A. Plan B you will go to Kim and Paul’s and spend the night and come home Friday morning. Kim is going to be out with Stacy, her old college roommate for lunch and the afternoon. You won’t see the boys or the framework on part of the house unless you stay over. Part of this depends on how you feel at the time. – Amorella

         1259 hours. I am surprised my hands hurt today. I assume it is the weather change from sunny and 65 degrees yesterday. The pill made me tired but I was tired anyway. I have been sleeping well but waking up early. I suppose it is from switchover to daylight savings. I’m glad I took those bandages off yesterday at least I look more normal. Early next week I have the stitches taken out. Carol and I watched a YouTube video of my operations; evidently Dr. Dan used a newer procedure. It wasn’t that bad to watch and I would have observed it myself at the time if I hadn’t been put to sleep. I’m glad I had it done but I think my hands should feel better by now. Even my wrists are a little sore. I used ice last night. Maybe I should do some more later.

         Post and take a nap orndorff. – Amorella

         1312 hours. I feel listless not tired.

         I was seeing if there was a better word for listless but the only one that fits is sluggish. I feel sluggish not tired sounds better.

         I agree. Sluggish makes you sound pronouncedly alive; listless more like body warm dead. - Amorella

        1322 hours. Good description, Amorella. I wish I could use words like you can.

        Late this afternoon you completed chapters four and five and have six to go. Carol suggested Papa John’s for supper – she drove but you picked it up. Homer is going to a PJ Conference in Orlando next week; they are even paying for his wife to go along. He was excited to tell you about it tonight. You think it is great that afterwards they are staying in Clearwater for another week. Tomorrow you have your appointment in the morning. You are feeling better tonight and you kept ice on your hands and wrists for a half hour or so. – Amorella

         2053 hours. I just want my hands to feel better. I am almost back to normal on the keyboard and am thankful for that.

         Later, dude. – Amorella

         Bedtime. Earlier you and Carol watched “Rizzoli and Isles” after the news. You just completed chapter six with corrections so four, five and six are now ready to be updated on Page. Carol replaced your bandages and the wounds looked good and clean. Carol agrees that the hands are still swollen some but are less swollen than they were. You both assume the ice packs help.

        2213 hours. I didn't think I would finish chapter six but I had more time than I thought plus the earlier nap helped -- I am tired but not so much as I was this time last night.

         Post. - Amorella
