That wasn't working.

Sitting around in warm weather pj's with the furnace nearly turned off with the windows open on a cool day?  Fantastic, for a down day.  I want to work today.  Bedding, laundry, dishes, and the bathroom.  Some of it, maybe all of it.  It was just too cold to really do anything.  So, I closed things up, changed into real clothes, and turned the furnace up to 70, then fed and watered critters.

That still wasn't getting things going.  A blood read was pleasing at 199, a six point drop, and below 200.  Anyway.  So I turned the furnace to 72, then started the grill.  It was right at 60 outside around 11:00, but has warmed between six to eight degrees by noon.  There is a mild but rather chilling breeze keeping it cooler than what the temperature suggests.

I am cooking enough for several days.  Chicken drumsticks, chuck steaks, and a rather small pork loin roast.  I purchased frozen cauliflower rice... that is way too expensive, but buying it that way was the only way I was ever going to try it.  Frozen and already ground, I can use it when it works for me.  IF it works, I will then put in the work to process, package, and freeze my own for a tenth the cost.  I am hoping to make chicken or beef cauliflower and egg stirfry, and other near rice dishes.

I was doing this and that while writing, plus cooking.  Ended up finishing dinner.  The rest of the meats are cooling.  I had one of the chuck steaks, just right.  Oh, it was time so I checked blood sugar, it was down to 174.  Super.  Now to keep it down.  I had about three ounces of mixed pumpkin seed and hazel and macadamian nuts after my last read.  One more meal today, probably a fatted tea.  For a weight loss program, it is suggested I eat 2,200 to 2,600 (plus or minus 200 from the actual number), for solid weight loss, so... yeah.  And at that I put in an inch shorter and ten pounds heavier for the calculation.

It is staying right around 68.  Ugh.  I'm tired.  A nap?  Yes.  Or not.  If I don't nap I won't work.  If I do nap I won't sleep well.  No nap, I think.  Later.
