• Rough day yesterday, exhausted today.

  I had a harder time on the trip to Wasilla than I had the times recently when Doug went with me.  Now that we have to keep a fire going, for the rest of the winter, one of us needs to stay home except when the excursions are brief.  When he went with me, I only had to walk into one supermarket and get into the motorized crip cart, and then walk back to the car.  Doug did all the reaching and lifting, and did the running for whatever we needed from anywhere other than the one big store.

  By the time I got home yesterday, I was too tired to fix my dinner, so I ate cheese and crackers — chevrai and rye crisp.  It was yummy, but I’d have gone for something hot if I’d had the energy.  Doug nuked and ate the sweet and sour pork I’d picked up for him at the Orient Express deli in Carr’s. 

  Being so fatigued meant I was too tired to sleep well, so I was awake off and on through the night.  With a little recovery time, I can get back to sleeping all night, and then I can repair the other fatigue effects.  I do get tired of this damned disease.

  On the up-side, Greyfox and I had breakfast together and got in some laughs, offended a few eavesdroppers in the restaurant with our political talk, and just enjoyed being together for a while.  He had found in the dumpster a good sweater that fits Doug, and a big baggy pair of warm fleece athletic pants that cannot actually be said to fit me, but they have a drawstring waist and I am wearing them.

  I’ll be back when I can hold my head up without so much effort.
