Awake, hoping to get to work.

Down around 16:30, up at 2:00 or so.  It was a struggle to stay awake that late and to wake.  The body is good, it's the mind that is tired.  Fasting blood sugar was 147.  Higher than hoped but below the running averages.  The general average is now below before and after meal averages, and the after meal average is lower than the before meal average?  Weird but true.  Then, I have noticed, eating the right foods does lower blood sugar a lot if after a rather slight upward bump.  Still, it seems so strange.

I am soaking 'cereal'.  I plan to heat it this morning, for the first time.  Along with a few cold hard boiled eggs and a hot fatted tea, it should do well.  Later, boiled mixed meat burger patties, with cheese and steamed carrots.  I think I am out of cabbage or similar.  I need to shop.  Kale, cabbage, mushrooms, salad fixings, perhaps a few other such.  I need to research which olive oils are real.  Many seem to be mixes of real, but with sun or safflower, canola, or other unhealthy oils.  As well, I'd like to see about larger, locally available, avocado oil.  Look, the stuff seems to work.

And odd thing.  I have been practicing layering this year.  Base layers, mid layers, top layers, even sock combinations.  All to include dry and wet wear and materials.  A recent find was that cotton socks under wool socks was extremely warm.  Far too warm for inside with a furnace going.  Now, with cotton being poor when wet, worse than poor, it would be no good in snow or rain.  However, in camp, dry and sheltered, I do believe it would be exemplary.  I only tried it to be contranarian.  Good to go against the grain at time.

Beside getting back to work today, I am going to brew bone broth.  I have decided to continue fasting, next time this Thursday or Friday to Sunday or Monday.  I want to try bone broth during the fast, though definitely want it for after.  Plus I want it for gravy and soups.  After the beef and lamb, I will make chicken stock.  Oh yes, the stuff is quite good, and for you.

It always sounded a bit... witchy... bone broth.  Probably because it was usually poor, half crazy, widows who most often consume it.  Odd how I have no real financial depravity, but culinary and health reasoning.  Makes me take a second gander at other long held notions, about other topics... me pretties!  Hehehe  *cackles* :P

Breakfast time.  Good morning and day.

Hmm?  Maybe.

But I don't have ALL their problems.  Mostly.

The devil, you say?   :p
