What Friends Are For Pt 3

Second morning. There's not a whole lot of change actually. Muscles still ache. It's mostly my upper arms that I notice at the moment, but my legs ache as well when I move around. It's no worse than yesterday, so I expect it'll start getting better before too long.

Someone had the bright idea of mixing most of the bacon in a risotto (what a waste), and in the end I only had enough for one butty, and not quite as much for that as I'd have liked. I usually make a very simple bacon butty. Just two slices of toast with margarine, a couple of slices of tomato, and several slices of fried bacon. I'm not used to using mayo or other sauces in sandwiches, as we've never really used them in my family. (I think they are used less in Finnish cuisine in general than they are in Britain, for example.) We rarely even buy salad dressings. That being said, I have a hard time accepting a hamburger without mayo.

As for updates, I've been doing little tweaks here and there. Probably nothing you'd even notice, but some sections should be cleaner and more up to date.

What Friends Are For Pt 2

The following morning. Not a great deal of change, actually. Still stiff all over, and perhaps a little more aching. I think my legs ache the most. Climbing stairs is a real treat. And my back, never my strongest point, is aching too. And, actually, now that I think of it, my arms do ache a little as well when I move them.

And I plan to have a bacon butty today.

What Friends Are For

I've just spent most of the day helping friends move. It's nearing 1am as I write this. I've been home for a couple of hours. Mostly just sitting in my chair, as I didn't quite feel like sleeping yet.

Current situation: I feel utterly exhausted. My limbs don't hurt at this point, but they feel very heavy and stiff, to the point that drinking a cup of tea feels barely manageable. I've got two or three bruises on the thigh of my right leg. (Surprisingly no more than that, and in no other region that I can see so far.)

And was it worth it? Of course. I mean, what are friends for? Yes, physical torture, apparently. But seriously, I've enjoyed the hospitality of these dear people countless times, giving very little back, apart from my company of course. Today's assistance was the least I could do to repay them. Not something I'd like to repeat very soon, though.

Now I will sleep. And tomorrow I'll write about how my condition develops.
