Grumpy and tired.

I was.  Returning from the failed appointment.  Whether I mentioned it or not, I had stayed awake about 18 to 36 hours.  I couldn't sleep when it might have been good to do so, and then didn't dare as the time approached.  At it seemed hot.  Hot and muggy?  Perhaps I had simply pushed too hard and it just got to me.

After returning home I simply couldn't get to sleep.  As usual I had to cool down.  I found some steaks at a great price, so I had one of those.  I changed the soak for the bean and grains as well.  I wanted too cook those as well, but not knowing how long that would take, I just hoped they didn't go bad.  Eventually, I cannot say when but after cooking and eating the steak (of of them), I headed on to bed.

Nothingness.  Pure, true, quiet, temperate, nothingness.  I slept the sleep of nowhere and no time.  I have no idea how long I slept.  I woke at 23:03 or 04, by my satellite linked clock.  I woke well.  Comfortable, rested, refreshed even.

I set some dishes and pots to another soak, in order to hopefully wash those before long, drain and rinse the various raw foods, and then begin cooking.  A new pot of coffee was set up.  I checked on the beans and grains.  Wonderful, they didn't seem rancid.  Changing the water seems to allow for a much longer soak.  Though, perhaps the vinegar and whey water helps keep bad things at bay?  In any case, they seemed good and ready.  A bit of computing as I woke, a show, and in there, I did get the pots cleaned, the foods drained strained rinsed then cooking.

The beans will take a long time, even having soaked.  The grains only took about a third of the time to cook.  The grains were so good they could honestly be eaten just as was.  Still, I added butter and salted, trying a bowl.  I am... not so much a vegetal eater.  And I am truly picky.  But that was a bowl of grain I would gladly have paid decent money to eat.  Absolutely delicious.  Short brown rice and quinoa, done to perfection, and... smooth, clean, filling.  Even though I just had about three quarter of a cup, and am full, my mouth waters thinking about it.  And I just finished.  I am simply satisfied.  I will cook another steak yet tonight, and maybe have a side of the grains.  The beans too, if they hurry up.  They are taking a very long time to cook.  All good.  I soaked the beans in raw apple cider vinegar... not enough kefir whey.

I have a few notions more, but that will come later.  Later.
