My Body is Rebelling From a Very Busy Day

The first thing was to make tea, then do some dishes while it steeped.

Next was some puzzles generated on Bing Image Creator and turned into puzzles on the PC.

Following that was file sorting and backups on the computer and in real life with filing important records from disability.

After that it was time to lay out my pills that were delivered around noon.

Next was a nice home care lady washing me off any putting on my lotion. I can't bathe myself and I'm unable to get in the shower. So I pay them to clean me.

Next up gathering 32 boxes of varying types and cutting them up and getting them in 2 bog boxes.

Following that was gathering some glass waste and wrapping them in paper and putting them in red shopping bags for disposal. They don't recycle glass here.

Then came a nap and a snack followed by taking 33 shopping bags of bottles and cans, sorting them and putting them in larger plastic bags. They will be donated to the building association.

Last was taking almost 100 shopping bags and folding them and placing them into 4 shopping bags to be donated to the food bank.

Tomorrow the bottles go, then I rest all day. Sunday is 2 loads of laundry. Monday is 2 more loads of laundry.

Then on the following Saturday after grocery delivery its many trips with a cart to the garbage room. And the recycling bin.

This should finish it all off and then I just need money to get in a cleaner to deep clean. It's extra money for 2 months but I also need a hell of a lot of things. So I don't know. New underwear for example is $65 for 6 of them. So money will go fast. I just hope I can get it done, or I wait until October.

After all this my body was hurting noticeably more than normal. Then I went to sleep early, and when I got up today, I was in pain filled hell. My knees where in totally agony - my back was spasming and hurting like crazy - My legs where also not wanting to work properly and the muscles in them where complaining a lot - My neck was also killing me, but it seems rather easy for my neck to act up this last 6 months or so. But at least I don't have a headache.

The pain in the morning was a solid 7 from head to toe. Now at almost 3 PM I am down to a 5, but my body is still complaining. So what did I do to dull the pain, when I take no pain meds at all? Well I walked - it sounds counterintuitive, but it seems to help the back and the knee joints somehow. The back is still spasming, but it's not as bad and the general pain level is lower.

Now I'm waiting for the lady across the hall to come home, so I can give her all them bottles and cans for the building association. She is going to need a cart I think, as there is a tone of them. It's a good 14 or 15 months since I donated the bottles and cans, so it added up. I should have been putting them in the donation bin as I go, but like the boxes and trash, I just let it stack up until it was out of control.

This is the most I've done in ages and I still have to do my leg exercises today some time - probably tonight.

But I feel accomplished after sorting out all that junk and the recyclables.

RAMPAGE COFFEE CO RIOT BLEND REVIEW

Image
  Rampage Coffee Co. is located in Saskatoon Saskatchewan and is a small batch coffee roasting company that makes 3 different and very unique blends. The company is still small and the owners still work in other jobs. They are also very community minded and donate part of the profits to upstart artists, musicians and the like. Today I fired up a fresh ground pot of "Riot Coffee". I had to say it was a very enjoyable experience. There was a very fresh taste to the coffee, a lot more fresh that I have ever had the pleasure to experience in the past. Also had hints of caramel and chocolate in the background. The acidity was low compared to a lot of coffee I have had and it was only slightly bitter. It was a smooth cup of coffee and the aroma was wonderful and full bodied. This is how I would like coffee to be. You can't expect to get any more fresh than this. It is made per order on a Monday, packaged on a Tuesday then mailed out on a Wednesday. Depend...

Top 20 Deli Meats (Cold Cuts) Rated

Image
I found a list of the top 20 cold cuts in the world. That head cheese got into this list makes me wonder what so called normal people think is good food. This is of course keyed to my tastes only and may not be how you see it. For example, Dad loved Bologna above all other cold cuts, and would fry it black and make sandwiches with tomato and Kraft sandwich spread. Sometimes the bread of toasted. On a side note, literally ONLY white bread of served to us at home as young folks and so on. The idea of eating brown bread was out of the question. BTW Mom's favorite cold cut was Olive Loaf. My perfect 10 no longer exists and it was called Onion Loaf. Nothing will ever replace Onion Loaf in my mind. 1 Turkey Breast 4/10 2 Ham 5/10 3 Roast Beef 2/10 4 Salami 7/10 5 Bologna 3/10 6 Chicken Breast 4/10 7 Prosciutto 9/10 8 Pastrami 8/10 9 Pepperoni 7/10 10 Mortadella 7/10 11 Corned Beef 4/10 12 Capicola 7/10 13 Liverwurst 6/10 14 Soppressata 8/10 15 Chorizo 6/10 16 Genoa 7/10 17 Pork Roll 2/10...

No Name Dark Roast Coffee a Review

Image
No Name Dark Roast Coffee is not the worst coffee I ever had, but It's not all that great. I was looking for coffee that would be acceptable and way less money than the Lavazza that I normally got. I use a lot of coffee in the Moka Pot, for just one mug of coffee (24oz). So I got this instead with my grocery order. The taste is slightly burnt, slightly woody, and a faint hint of nuts. There is a bitter aftertaste that lasts a hell of a long time after you drink this stuff. It also leaves your mouth feeling oily. For the price of it however, it's acceptable ($15.99 for 925g) a months supply of Lavazza was close to $40 - so it's a big saving. You do give up quality and taste for a saving. It's like most truck stop coffee. Nothing special, just something to give you a kick start. Well it did have a kick to it, I'll give it that. But the taste is not great. I honestly think I'll just drink tea from now on, as I can get a lot of tea for less money than this one bag o...

Remembering My Loving Parents

Image
I've decided to post the obituaries of Morris Nicholson and Violet Nicholson (my loving parents). I've been thinking about them a lot this last while and I edited their obituaries in MS Word then exported as a JPG and added a nice border to them. They where always there for me and made sure I knew I was loved. They adopted me, but not once have I ever thought about my birth parents - instead they where, to me, the only parents I ever had. My brother is also dead, but no obituary for him exists and I will have to later on make one up for him. I do not have a more recent photo of him, but I do have some about 15 years before he died. But for now - here is my parents obituaries.
