From noon to...

I have no idea.  I know I looked at the time.  I also know nothing was sticking in memory.  I might have been awake as early as 20:00 or as late as midnight.  I have no clue how long I have been awake.  I was tracking it.  It, as with the actual waking time, didn't stick.  If the second or third check had stuck, I might be able to narrow down just how long I was awake.  That simply didn't happen.  It seems some weather change moved in, with it rain.  All good.  I would still rather be camping, even if just in my back yard.  It truly is nice.

With, pretty much, nothing done yesterday, what had been my goals remain my goals.  I hope to make more tortilla dough, part it out, use some of it fresh, cook some to freeze, put dough in, and then in a week or two see if there is a reasonable way to reheat precooked, to see how they work.  I know the simple dough cooks well enough.  Though that doesn't work the best after a couple of weeks.  Use it well within two weeks.  Perhaps there is a way to make it last longer, just dough.  I don't know what that would be though.

Oh, right.  I only shredded the cheddar.  I went looking for corn starch.  It seems that I have tossed it.  Normally I would simply go buy it.  But with the mortgage companies (company actually, just using different names to scam us), playing dirty, I don't want to push things.  When I put money from one account into another I will have a delicate balance all around.  And I can't honestly be sure they will ever even really send the money they said they would.  So...  I'll be holding my breath until payday.  Bleh.  So, for now, I will simply use up one portion of shredded cheese before shredding the other cheese.  When I do obtain corn starch I will then do, say, ten pound blocks of a couple cheeses... a small portion will go into the fridge, to see how long and well it lasts.  The bulk will be put in the freezer, and it is the freezer cheese I will use.  There should be enough frozen to get a good comparison between the two sorts of storage to know if one is really all that much better than the other, perhaps a time scale of longevity for each, etc.  Science... while always ongoing, my home is my lab as that is where these things will function or fail.

I sure would like to kick out dishes, do some cleaning in the bathroom and kitchen, and prep a bite to eat.  Simple breakfast burritos would be fine.  I am really on my way to learning to cook quite well.  Over easy, scrambled, eggs... well done, chewy but strong tortillas, definitely make sure to cook tortillas all the way through... lots of little bits of this and that.  My cooking and baking skills are improving in leaps and bounds.  Oh, and I found my pressure cooker.  That is really good for roasts in a hurry, or such.  I am even looking into parts for it that allow for much easier cake, cheese cake, and other deserts items, right in the pressure cooker.  Yeah...  It isn't just fun and games though.

Hmm?  Oh... you know... I wonder.  I had stopped taking pain pills because pain had seemingly gone away.  I keep forgetting how high my threshold for pain is.  I can almost slice off a finger, or catch the cheek of my hand in a pistol slide... explosively opening it down to the bone... and not have pain be a problem.  Bleeding, an inability to stop really, is why I went in.  So, yeah.  I am going to try a bit of the stuff this evening.  If that allows function, I may have found the trick.  I don't want to take even o-t-counter meds for too long.  Perhaps a week.  After that, even if undetected pain seems to still be a problem, I will just have to live with it and work my way out of it.  Yeah.

Later.
