Up, rather early.

Up later last night.  Driving lesson, some cleaning, then a start on the kit computer, all taking me well past 19:00, probably at least to if more likely past 20:00... I know I looked, but can't remember the last time.  I set the alarm for this morning.  Without realizing that clock was an hour fast, I ended waking an hour early.  Better this way than the other, but there would have been room either way.

I did set bone broth to stew last night.  Turned it to low last night, and left it going.  It had lost very little water, on low with the lid on, through the night.  This morning I turned the heat up and took the lid off, just for a bit.  It will take at least through the day, maybe part of tomorrow.  I would like to see about the meat, but can't today.  Next time.  I used some lamb bones and pork hocks, but mostly ox tail.  No veggies or salt, and of course reverse osmosis water.  It should be done tonight or tomorrow morning.  Perhaps this weekend I will do chicken broth.  My next extended fast will be broken in style.

Bills were paid yesterday.  Mortgage and phone still require manual involvement.  Not this month, but next, I'd like to get a car wash pass.  There are always little things to do or on a list.  Almost all involve money, energy, and or time, some or all of which I don't have.  I get to things eventually, if they are truly needed or wanted and affordable.  Eventually.

Hmm.  So much for hot cereal.  I was able to get a room temp breakfast.  With the half hour soaking time and cold cream, it just won't work as I had planned.  All good, live and learn.  I ended with far too much cereal.  I have heard it can be left to soak overnight.  While that isn't my case exactly, as it is morning and will be finished later today, I will finally get to test the general idea.

A shower, air dry time, then on to my day.  I am tempted to try to salvage some of the meat, but a) time really slips when doing odd tasks and b) I suspect it is already overcooked from running overnight.  It is good up to six hours, or so I have heard, but has been going for nine or ten.  No.  Just a shower, morning routines, then to it.  Later.
