Well? No.

There was some very small remnants of charcoal.  Enough to cook, just.  Probably.  I gave it a go, and it worked.  As well, chops, sausage, and burger patties.  As well, a beef roast was baked.  I had bits of everything but the burgers.  I do mean bits.  As well, a very tiny dose of insulin, 8 cc's.  Blood sugar started out ~225 this morning.  With very small doses of insulin, careful consumption, and avoiding bad foods, blood sugar was 117 by afternoon, and is 119 as I am heading to bed.

Laundry was brought in.  Ducks have been secured.  I washed their water pans and the pool.  It was rather warm out there, even after dark.  Probably just a warm breeze from somewhere... Texas, the West Coast, most likely.  Ah, hurricane coming through, I could see that as a strong advance from that.  All good.  I have food for a week or so, good food, enough of it.  That will help.  I just have to put it away before sleeping.  No problem, it's been cooling on plates, under paper towels.  Should be ready, and easy, to put away.  Hmm... might heat a few patties, for a double burger.

My left hand was really good for most of the day.  It wasn't even swollen.  I wondered if stretching the clothesline helped reset something.  Nope.  It probably allowed drainage, for a while.  Now the fluid is all back, dammed up, and the hand is tight and quite sore again.  I can type alright, play with the console controller.  I just can't hold things well, grip is weak due to the lack of ability to squeeze through the swelling.  Well, and pain can return powerfully if I do grip something as well as possible within the allowance of the swelling.  It will eventually get better.

I'll keep trying.  What else can I do?  Good night.
