Steak and chicken.

.
.
I am starting to learn to cook chicken thighs on the grill. Regular use helps keep the grill in order. I am learning to use the scraper/scrubber to better success, along with heat, both before and after cooking. Just a little care, once you figure it all out, does a pretty good job. I just love having cooked chicken to either eat cold (bleh) or heat up if I have the time and the day isn't too hot.

The steak, a double thick, bone-in, ribeye, came out absolutely perfect. Delicious, tender, beefy. Though my appetite has been mild and my meals are usually no more than six to ten ounces, I was able to eat this steak AND a potato. That was my holiday meal and I did enjoy.

I have not been doing much. I seem to either be burning the candle and both ends and sandbagging myself or otherwise trying to figure that out or simply slumping lately. Again, with the medicine changes, I suspect there is a medical reason. I will be taking more lasix tonight, to try and get more water out. I will take lasix up to where it was. If that doesn't do it I will add in the various levels of hydrochlorothiazide until I drop just enough to have gained four pounds, as they had wanted. Hmm, that big meal might make the notion a little difficult to be sure so I will give it three days to sort itself out.

I am going to try and sleep. Setting my alarm for 9:00 or 10:00. There isn't much to do tomorrow, being a holiday. If I hear lawnmowers, I will consider mowing that last little bit. If not, the next day. This is so weird, going through highs and lows, bp jumping around, weight doing weird things, all while trying to... figure things out. Anyway, good night.
