Dark out there.

.

Sure it is winter.  Yes it is overcast.  But today is a special blend of the two.  I kept wondering if the clock was off.  Nope.  All good.  We have had a rather pleasant winter, so hard dark is almost a surprise.  At least it is beautiful.  As hard as life can be, it is good to enjoy the really good things.

The ducks have been fed and watered, cats too.  The laundry has been cycled.  The woolens will take forever to dry as they get no heat.  I may pull out the rack if this first go gets them close, hang them to dry.  And the last load of laundry has been set to wash.  A shave soon, then shower.  I have emptied one of the two trash bins that need it, but need to put fresh bags in it.  I may begin washing coats later this week, weather treating with specialty soaps.  Yeah, I do that.  And waxing boots for spring.

Slow, doing bits of chores at a time.  Food, needed.  Blood sugar dropped to 111 three hours ago, so I decided to eat.  A fatted tea and chia seed cereal.  Two hours after eating and blood sugar reads 110.  Good enough.  Mostly fatted tea and perhaps sardines today.  I should pull meat to thaw.  Steak, now that I have relearned how to cook it, chops, and some ground meats.  Hmm, could make an egg casserole tomorrow, especially with some sort of mixed burger sausage.

Food isn't helping quite yet.  I am sure it has stopped the slide down, but isn't pulling me back up.  I may have sardines (always in olive oil, or their own juices), perhaps a cheese omelet as well.  Not hungry, in the usual way.  Just a sense that something is missing.  Well, and an empty accelerator which offers nothing when floored.

No worries, I'll keep at it.  Best take medicine and perhaps extra aspirin.  Body is cranky.  I'll keep at it.  Later.
