Slogging through some of it.

Laundry did not get done. The shoveling and weed whipping an area I really wanted to hit did get done though. I weed whipped into the two out buildings within the fenced area. It looks like the previous residents were composting, goat manure if my taste buds are on top of their game. (jk) Though I really do suspect it is goat dung. Of course, without knowing, I do not think it wise to spread the stuff. I am not sure how long a pile of dung would be good in any case. That is, if that is what the fenced in pile of mush is. The work felt good.

Tomorrow I am hoping to get out and inspect the chicken coop. Even if it is good, I will need to clean up and clear out the inside. The same with all of the out buildings. There is not a lot to do, or a great deal all in one place, but the sum total of cleaning and clearing will be a large chore. Beyond that, there are pieces of motors, building materials (some of which might still be useful), and left over "hay" or other feed which will have to be cleared out. Honestly, I have never done that type of work before. I am guessing I will need even another type of shovel, a feed shovel, to clear the floors.

I did roast the meats, but they did not come out well. Beyond my overcooking, the roasts came in the meat package. They were not the best of roasts. My unfamiliarity with extra lean cuts does not help. I simply do not like meats that need to be babysat to cook well, or tricks, or whatever those take. I probably will not buy packages of meats from now on. There is too much waste. What I do need to do, however, is make a list of roasts, steaks, and such which I do use, know how to cook, and enjoy and see if the butcher will make a package in that vein. If not I will simply stick with occasional purchases. I suppose I could expand my cooking repertoire but at this time, that is not my thing. I only learned what I did of cooking to feed my then fiancee. She did not appreciate it but it has paid off, for me, in the end. I also need to learn my grill better. It cooks so much faster. Lean meats should never find their way to it though. That is one of my first few lessons.

The headache has stayed with me. I have been avoiding taking anything for it since it is not severe. It seems to be worsening, so I will take Tylenol tonight. The aches and pains have gone over time at least. I would love to go to bed now, actually a while ago, but... there is no purpose to it. I will merely toss and turn and then have to be awake later and for longer. I am not sure what to do. I guess I will just have to roll with this problem until I figure it out. I will no longer set the alarm for 8:00, probably opting to set it for 10:00 as a temporary goal. Cool nights might be playing their part in the thing. Who knows. I just know all my efforts, to point, have been fruitless. Working on it though.

Good night, if I will not be in bed for a couple of hours. Da bother!
