A new week.

.

There is more hope this week than last, and much more than any week in the last... long time.  I don't even have a time I can easily look back and see where I was doing well.  I think it started with feet problems, then went to potassium deficiency or the sensation that was the problem.  Slowly I have dealt with those things, sort of, if I am still not regular with them...  Then fall hit, and soon winter.  I seem to be leveling out.  My fall seems to be arrested, for the moment.  Now to get up and get going.  I have been doing very small things that way.  A new week, another opportunity.

I put at least half of the ham and beans in a single bowl and put that in the freezer.  I... well... I can eat that lot per time.  This is the first time I diced all of the ham right away.  And, yes, that is worth the time.  But it is time and effort.  Often, for me, cleaning a place to work, then working, is more of the trick than the actual work.  I hate when all I get is slivers of ham, but then chunks that are too big are also not preferred.  I do like fat, just not large pieces of that.  This was about a perfect ham and beans, if you like white beans.  Though, other than a few odd beans, like kidney, most beans pretty much taste very similar.  I would bet, unless the bean is strangely shaped, most could not tell one bean from another in a blind taste test.

It is raining today.  Given how late in November it is, I won't complain.  We didn't get any real snow the other day, it stuck only to the grasses and mountains, leaving roads and the rest open.  And it didn't last the morning, or more than a day... or... something.  Being the sick kid at home, I don't always look out.  It's almost depressing, some days, seeing a whole world, one I want to play in, one I can see but not quite touch.  Some times more so than others.  It was darkest right before things opened up again, as they saying goes about dawn.

I'll keep at things.  I hope to take a shower, set up another batch of dishes, and set a load of laundry to wash.  I may try to attend business as well.  Just one piece, but an important piece.  Be well.
