Up even earlier.

Not sure why.  I went to bed very late, almost midnight.  Again, I woke, but too early.  It was around 4:30.  I fought to return to sleep, and lost.  Yesterday I had forgotten to turn the furnace down.  I thought that might have been it.  Nope, it was turned down this night.

I feel bad.  As yesterday morning.  I did return to better condition by midmorning.  I am hoping for that again.  I may take extra aspirin today to kickstart that.  Furnace is back up, medicine is about to go down.

I tried steak sous vide last night.  It was okay.  I am having problems getting steak done right.  Or my taste buds are shot.  Maybe age or illness are the problem.  It is really for vegetables though.  I'll have to shop before I can try those.  Soon... I hope.  Getting it together and then getting out is proving impossible.

So much for the V.A. blood sugar strips.  They say use before 1/31/2020, but two in a row have given error codes.  Then again they had started to diverge from my reliable tester, going from thirty to seventy points higher.  I guess not working is better than bad readings.  Government goods and services are no better than the Soviets understood.  Maybe worse, being overpaid on top of it.  At least Soviet bureaucrats also starved, and got the retirements they deserved.

Later.
