Internal Dialogue
Headache mushroomed into an overwhelming wowzer. No ability to do anything other than rolling around like large beetle. Every corner of my existence put up an OUT TO LUNCH sign. No vacancy. Irish need not apply. I tell you, I.
But, last Walmart food order arrived, and I drank some delicious tart cherry juice, and some 100% cranberry juice, both way too expensive. Soooo good. Mixed both into ongoing-ferment juice bottle, and watched the fun begin. While there is too much sugar in the cherry, the low-sugar cranberry will now help fight the UTI. It is true, cranberry juice does help. And delicious tart cherry has many health benefits for someone with CFS - or other people who are boring because they boast no chronic illness.
I once kept cranberry juice fermenting along with sugared tea, in my Kombucha batches. But I have so far found it impossible to get a fresh culture of Kombucha bacteria going. So, I just threw these guys into what is supposed to be my V8 fermentor, but which also contains teas and juices from the near past.
Anyway, enjoying these juices - after some emergency garlic - and followed by delicious yogurt - has helped as a pain-reducer, and I don't feel as bad now. Starting to recover, in general. But, I tells ya... I called IA HHS Medicaid case worker, and I was not my usual smooth phone self, I was a bag of tumbleweed disconnections. But, I did get the communication accomplished, and there were no hard feelings. I am disabled. I get to look imperfect sometimes. Pain is my ticket to limitless rudeness. Or not.
Anyway, whole day was shot to hell. Got to make up for it, a little, tomorrow, but that probably won;t include any work on van. Who knows, whole van thing might be dead for all winter. But, must order wiper fluid now, as I used it all up on the paint-gunked windshield. Which was a music movement in the late 1970s. But, yeah, tart cherry juice works on headaches. And sugar-free, pure cranberry juice works on UTIs, etc.
And psychopaths don't want you to have these trees in your garden, just the bugs.
