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.
