Bedtime.

I'm not sure when I woke.  It's 9:18, according to the machine.  I'll be asleep within the hour.  I have the ac going this time.  I am sure it will be getting warm out there.  Probably.  I'll try to post the time when I wake.  Before I can work that around, I have to know what I am dealing with.  Too little sleep, awake too long, both, or worse, neither.  Sometimes life is just brutal for no good reason.

I have been taking care to eat.  Not properly, perhaps.  Enough simple calories so that my system doesn't dry up and shut down.  I made a batch of ham and beans.  Liked it well enough I thawed a bit more ham.  The problem was, there weren't enough (wasn't enough?) beans to match with the ham.  I had a package of something thawed, I though hamburger.  It ended up being unseasoned pork sausage.  I wasn't too sure how that would go with beans.  Quite well it turns out!  A bit of cheese mixed in and, really, that was... very good.  The beans cut that heavy, sharp, richness that good fresh pork can have.  The cheese?  Well, cheese goes well with much.

With the beans used up, I'll probably set another pot to soak, when I wake.  I'll try to remember that and to note the time.  Then cook the beans after six hours of soaking.  Yeah, I'd like to soak them longer.  But with time being a bit confusing, between sleep and waking... not knowing how long up or down... I would prefer to just cook the beans on a short soak rather than risk them going bad.  And, yes, beans... I have had beans go bad after as little as eighteen hours in a soak... even having changed the water knowing I would have to be stretching things.  Black beans, though I may toss in lentels right near the end, to see how that might work.  Though I might just throw those in for the last hour of cooking.  With black beans, I cook them for... hours.  It just takes a long time for those, or that's what I have found.

Sunday?  I'll check before I sleep.  If so, I need to get the trash out.  I got most of it packed out Friday, but have filled another back since.  Recycling?  I'll try to remember to ask my neighbor.  I best set my alarm to be up at a reasonable time.  Then prep for a shower.  I have beef to figure out how to pick up tomorrow, and I am hoping to push through to some kind or work this coming week.  Even as crazy as it is, at the moment, I still hope to... do something.  Tree limb cutting, perhaps working on roping, maybe setting up the hammock...  Who knows.  Anything that gets me to do something(s) physical.  Work is preferred, but play is okay if that's all I've got.

Supposed to be a short post.  I got carried away.  Good night.
