Just not doing much or quickly.

.

The highest I saw it outside was 90° or maybe 92°.  At the warmest, so far, the main is 72° and this front room is 76°.  The upstairs is probably 66°.  It was supposed to get into the high 90°s, possibly the 100°s.  Not here.  And I'm good with it.  Now, it doesn't get warmer even so until later.  And it is cooling off in a hurry.  At 18:20, it is down to 82°.  All doubly good.

The ducks seem to be splitting, naturally, into their various groups.  It had to happen.  I just hope there doesn't come a time of fighting.  My old drake, the last male indian runner, would lose.  And, yet, he wouldn't surrender without a fight.  The muscovy drakes are massive, three times his size, maybe more.  He wouldn't win, probably wouldn't survive.  So far that hasn't happened.

I was a bit surprised at the calories and such for short ribs.  Three of them, and a glass of milk plus half a cup of corn with butter was half of my daily calories.  That wasn't even a pound, that was about 9 ounces of meat is all.  I went light thinking it would be all good.  Oh, on the good side, I had planned to have that as the majority of my food today.  So it won't disturb my dietary peace.

I keep learning about the app, about food, so much surprises... baffles.  If I eat too much, at least I'll know it.  And, as mentioned, my absolute first goal is to be honest... as honest as I know how to be... about putting food in.  It seems to be bearing out though.  Sometimes a guesstimate is as close as it gets.  I don't know if it will truly lead to weight loss.  But if something can, along with keto, perhaps intermittent fasting, it would be this.  Now, with this and intermittent fasting, I could have a larger meal all at once.  I may intermittent fast a few days a week, do regular meals a few days a week, and completely fast two days a week, or three days every other week.  Some of it is ability.  I can't always do as planned.  But with variability, I might be able to keep up?  I can try.

I re-re-reset dishes a bit ago.  Yeah, moving slowly.  I checked on the ducks, which is how I noted they are grouping into breeds.  I thought I had noticed that, but couldn't be as sure until today.  This time I could more plainly see the whole particular area... no hidden spots where the other ducks might have been.  I am sort of surprised I haven't seen any of the ducks in the trees.  Yes, they can fly up and roost.  I don't think the drakes can, but... maybe with extra and slow, plodding, effort they can join the ladies.

I would like to hit the dishes, maybe have a last fatted coffee or tea, and then... no nap.  I'll stay up until the ducks are ready to rest, then just go on to bed.  I may try to do a full rosary tonight, then do more prayer.  I am reading about meditative prayer, trying to get that going.  I won't work on that tonight, but will work on that tomorrow, and Sunday.  As well, I may see about getting to church sometime soon.  And confession.  Actually confession first.  It's... been a while.  Then Mass can be properly attended.  I am going to try to pray more through the day.  Perhaps even put in on a timer.  Two rosaries, a regular longer not prayer, short morning prayers, and a few fivers through the day, perhaps a fifteen minute to half hour set aside for meditative prayer?  Something.  There is a lot of time in the day, you just have to use it, consciously.

Later.  Or good night.
