A few things.

.

One piece of advice?  Don't bag compost and hope it will be okay for a few days while waiting for the compost bit and sacks.  Yeah, that... doesn't work.  Still, it'll go in, to a proper bag, or three, and out yet tonight.  Thankfully, for now, I am a bachelor.  My neighbor noticed though.  I thought it was the dishes, but, nope.  I'll fix that, and the dishes too though, yet tonight.

I soft boiled eggs tonight.  This time reserving the shells.  Mostly for worms at this point, but they will, in time, also go into compost.  Who knows how things work out.  I have a few other projects going forward regarding worms.  I have 1/4 mesh, but 1/8 mesh on the way.  With those I will create nesting sifters, so that I can keep the worms on top, the eggs next level, while letting the compost/peat go on through.  A single pass double sorter, for various needs and wants.  If I simply want to sort out worms, or worms and eggs, I can do that easily too.  It's not all tools, not all techniques, but a bit of both, coupled with experience.  Oh, instead of microwaving, I am baking the egg shells at 350 for an half hour.  I heard that in a different video, by a worm rancher.  I... don't trust microwaves to actually sterilize... or such.

Oh, right.  It seems my grass needs mowed.  Which is fine, if I can't do it.  There is someone willing to do it.  But I need to rake first, which as you'll note, is on my list.  Due to timing involvements, raking has been moved up to tomorrow.  I want to help though.  Fresh air and back to work is good.  The thing is, with my days off, it might be a difficult time.  I will keep the phone handy and keep the intention of getting up and out to help in the fore of my mind.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not.  I want to help because I want to keep as much "brown" as possible.  I have bags galore, of the right sort.  If I can get two or three bags of leaves and small branches, I'll... be good.  With the paper I need to get on shredding, I'll have enough 'brown' matter for a while.  Some say you don't need to mix it one to one.  And, of course, you don't.  If you would be willing to put up with the stench... or that's my theory.  I am not so interested in the stink.  Hmm... need to clean out my big trash and recycling bins, come to think of it.  Hate that smell.

A few things to do.  Dinner that I tried, eggs and burger, or... second dinner... was a flop.  I'll have a few of those eggs before long, and toss the burger mess.  Yeah.  Sometimes an idea or technique just doesn't work, shortly or ever.  I think I'll look for a low-carb meatloaf?  I do have some wonders.  If I used, say, a tablespoon of ketchup in a meatloaf, and the ketchup had sugar somewhere in the ingredient list of the ketchup, would it really have that much of an affect on my blood sugar or insulin?  I have doubts, about much of what I am told.  I have learned some things, like orange juice, store bought in any case, is brutal on my blood sugar, no matter how fresh or pure or... anything.  The trouble?  Have you noticed there is almost nothing made without sugar, or some sort or another?  They often call it something else, but it's... in there.

I did order asparagus and rhubarb.  I haven't been able to find horseradish roots yet.  I gave up on finding them in town.  As I said, seeds won't due.  On to dishes.  I really want to get those done, get a shower anyway (don't think I'm up for a bath), then get the rest of the dishes into a soak.  Hmm, actually I have to wash, rewash, then rinse the dishes currently soaking.  Bleh.  More work that is more than it seems.  I'll... get to it.  Then, hopefully, a nap, maybe a long one, in hopes of being able to wake and rake.  Later.
