Being temperamental isn't all bad. Adds variety. The high today, so far, has only been 40. Or, from what I have seen. That number is dropping. It has been cloudy and is beginning to sprinkle, perhaps more a light rain given that everything is actually wet. It was good that I got out yesterday. I suppose I can handle cold and rain, but only just so much. While I do well in winter, rain with that sort of cool can be a bit harsh. Still, it is a good day, if nothing else to enjoy the indoors. If I heal even more, I suspect days like today, at least on my own, will be doable.
I called my mother. They were supposed to have a good day. It is ending up more like what my weather is like. Spring has, mostly, sprung for her as well. It's just that spring is as I described. She sounded good, even cheery.
I hope to begin getting things sorted. As I may have mentioned, the beef won't be ready until May. As I have tended all other money issues, and am doing just fine, I ordered ducks and fish. Not daily items, too expensive. Yet definitely not from China. Don't tell me fish that are packaged from china were caught in US waters. Just don't. They wouldn't send them all that way, then back. And, even if they did for some reason, who knows how much Chinese fishery fish would have been added in. Trust me, you don't want to go there. You can order fish from US fisheries, and fresh frozen or even fresh. It will just cost. I would like to go to fish, or more meatless in the traditional sense, Fridays. It's not a requirement anymore. Still, I like the reasons surrounding the notion. Since I can't always get out and celebrate the Mass and all, I can still attempt to do what is more right and traditional here at home.
I'd like to work on a few more things. Finish the dishes, clean the bathroom, begin more in depth on the kitchen... if it doesn't look like I have started, I have. You just had to compare and contrast the present with the near past. Better, if slightly, though much more needs to be done. Oh, and to begin tearing down boxes while I am at it. Those could go in Monday, maybe. I am sort of stuck in my gaming. The addition content for Dark Souls 2... I've completed some of the bosses, others just have me hung up. I have finished all of the bosses and content in the original game. I'm trying to finish the add content first, before trying the game at game plus level, or more. Bleh. I may just leave it though, move on to the next game. I am pretty sure the game just requires your character to die enough before allowing you to win. Yeah, I think it is rigged.
Later.
Oh, I am back to doing this and that with food. A dozen and an half eggs boiled. They are cooling and about to be peeled. As well, a couple of cups of rice have been set to cook. I may do a batch of beans while I am at it. Next month I will order a medium term supply of quinoa. Sometime this summer I will order another batch, and see how long it stores. I didn't like the Idaho seed, I never was able to get it to cook right. Either it is much pickier, or just a lot different than any other type of quinoa I have tried. I really wanted to make it work, it was a good deal less expensive. Oh well.
I've been cleaning my country place for three weekends running now, in preparation for having a girlfriend out here. I swear it doesn't look *that* much better despite...
ReplyDeleteGranted the cobwebs and heaps of dust in the corners is gone, but still...
Also new stuff on the Men's Room wall if you are interested...
ReplyDeleteI still don't know how women do it. The ones who clean well that is. Which isn't all women. They have to cheat, or have a hyper button, or something. I would call out "not fair", but we know this. Thankfully, we have things we can do that... unfairness runs in a clockwork fashion.
ReplyDeleteA gf, eh? Don't do too much cleaning. She sees your plight, she just might take pity on your poor man butt. Then again, even with all my legit effort, I still get pity. You can see it in their eyes. If she offers to help, don't sprain anything rejecting it. Oh, I'll be over to take a look.
