Getting to it is difficult.

.

What, exactly, is wrong is not easy to tell.  Any of the list, though my guess is the change in weather is leading the pack.  At least I have food, and of the keto sort, on tap.  While I don't like cooking with the microwave, I have no problems heating up already cooked food.  I haven't had a salad yet, but that's next.  I already had a few slices of beef, so I'll skip adding that, especially since I will be adding a couple of eggs and maybe some cheese.

I finally found the ice cube trays and sorted out the processed worm food.  The two trays are in the freezer, if just.  The food processor is even soaking for a quick scrub, along with a few other items.  Those will be a wash, rinse, dry (sort of), and done thing.  Then I really need to set the big tub of dishes to a hot rinse and dry so as to get a shower in, with the hopes of making it to the hardware store today.

I did check, but I can't really tell if the worms are working on the food I gave them.  It is a cool night, though even back where they are it is well within their range of survival, even comfort.  I will check on it from time to time each day.  The hope is to get a better idea of how much they need, when they need it... or more likely if that is a variable then to learn to gauge when they need food and go by their needs, or even wants.  I ground up the last batch of eggshells, and put it in with the rest.  Some suggest that people can add eggshells to food.  While that might be reasonable, or not, the problem I would have would be with dosing... and the crunch.

Bit by bit I am getting some things done.  Even if I am having to crawl to do it.  More mail was sorted through and shredded.  I should have a decent topping layer or three now.  I have a lot more mail to work.  Little piles, here and there, much of it was never gone through.  I'll... get to it.  Outside, while working on the compost center, I would like to remove more grass from where I plan to plant the raspberries.  Completely remove the sod for a foot, or two, in the area.  Then cover it all over, again, with plastic.  Though I may add cardboard too.  It will be later this month, or early next, before I plant there.  As much to allow the cardboard and plastic to help kill off anything there as to make sure the suckers don't get frost damaged.

As well?  I might dig up more of the area near where I double dug the 3'x10' plot.  That whole area, which is... 20'~25'x10'~12' could be dug.  For now, though, I would like to just do a couple 4'x4' plots, to get an idea of the space involved.  I am thinking, perhaps, to attempt several types of herbs and garlic.  I don't know how much will grow there, or such.  And I might start by planting seeds indoors, transplanting what makes it?  My birth mother, when I visited, would do that.  Then bring in some things, in pots, for the winter.  She lives in Wyoming, so... close enough.  I probably have a better growing season and milder winter here than there too.

Anyway... I'll keep at it, as I may.  I'm thinking a salad... romaine, alfalfa sprouts, a couple of eggs, and homemade (mostly) ranch dressing.  That should work.  If I get out, I might buy more kale, cabbage, and add a few other things for salad or steaming such as artichokes, radishes, daikon radishes, and a few other less sugary salad makings.  I can have those once in a while, and do.  I am usually gifted that, and better than what I could obtain, so on my own I go a little lighter.

Later.
