I best be getting to bed.

A wake up which allows me to be somewhere at 9:00 is going to take everything I have, and then to do heavy work shortly after waking, will make it quite a day. But I am planning on confession and Church as well! Ugh... I have set my alarm for 6:00 in the hopes I can drag my lump out of the sheets, get a shower, throw something edible down my gullet, and make the half hour drive for the 9:00 meeting. But going to be at 3:00 will not work.

I have been doing very minor things, and few of them, today. Some things were done and a few things were set up. It seems I needed rest a great deal. There is only so much I can pull and push out of what I have, only so much blood, just so many dollars, and that is the way of it. I have enjoyed the day. The house stays cool enough compared to outside to really enjoy a day off. No driving was wonderful. I even took a nap in the afternoon and enjoyed it immensely. I have no guilt and will not delve into disappointment. I did what I could.

Wheat, garbanzo beans, and a mix of standard beans are either soaking or continuing on their path to being edible. It really is not much work, and I am terribly curious about both the wheat and the garbanzo beans (for real hummus). While in town tomorrow, I may even stop and get real fresh lemons for the juice and fresh whole cloves of garlic. I have bottled lemon juice and garlic powder, but I thought, if I am going to go through the kind of work it takes to actually soak, cook, and otherwise work garbanzo beans, why not go the whole way?

I put out some meats to thaw, and will buy some bread, good bread, while I am in town tomorrow. I am sure there is fresh kiln baked bread somewhere in town, being a college town and all. Though, with the economic collapse, I am not sure what we used to take for granted will remain true. Johnny's and Janey's parents are not quite so rich that they can be fat and stupid and spoil the brats anymore. Heck, the credit card companies can no longer just give the dolts cards like they used to. Still, fresh bread. Hmmm, something with a good crust, nice bite like a partial whole wheat mostly white bread, farmers bread, or sourdough! I would love to keep sourdough going, but... come on. I think that takes daily work? Even if not... I do not know...

Hey, kids, it is time for me to quit gabbing with my fingers and hit the hay. You all sleep well and, know you make my prayers from time to time. Good night.
