I'll take it, humble as it is.

No shower, but the way is clear for that when I wake.  The rest of the dishes were dried and put up.  I made a large batch of rice, and hand a bowl of fresh as the chef's price.  The bowl, spoon, and pot are soaking in the kitchen sink.  Further, I put beans on to soak for cooking when I wake.  Then, just for good measure, I pulled out several meats to thaw.  I'm going to try just beans and rice, no meat in it, several times, at the recommended balance.  Salt, maybe some hot sauce, a tortilla or two... but mostly just beans and rice.  I am trying to corner taste with protein.  It's a curiosity thing for now, but might come in handy.  I'm not sure one can realistically taste the difference between a full protein and not?  No fair with the bowl of rice I had.  I add a good shot of butter.

I just don't have enough left in me to shower, then air dry, then sleep.  Getting to town afterward would be way out anyway.  I did shave the roughest of the whiskers though.  Pieces and parts, here and there.  I do what I can.  Oh, and I tried to call my mother.  No answer, but just as I was finishing up some business she called me back.  Good news, and cheer, on both ends.  Teh crazy woman(tm) is cleaning a friend's home.  I mean cleaning.  She is down to the last bits... the second freezer in the basement.  See... what didn't I tell ya!  Crazy.  :p  Did I mention two major back surgeries, a knee replacement... or was it both, at least a half dozen foot surgeries... and probably some other stuff.  Bah!  It's a woman trick.  Run!

Good night.
