Oh well.

No go.  I did keep... looking around.  I did go out to get things going.  It just wasn't working.  I'd get lost on my way, or not even remember what I was up to.  I'll get the critters, as soon as it turns dark.  I will probably go to bed shortly after.  Gaming, I suppose, is mostly what is happening.  I'd really like to get the freezer cleared off, though.  Then pull meat for thawing.

I need food.  Haven't been eating well or correctly.  That would help.  Plus, having that clear, for drying dishes, would really be a leg up.  Rinsing dishes won't take long, it's getting a place for them that is required.  That is what will take the time.  I'll keep at it.  Hopefully have a Christmas meal, a more real one.  A reasonable meat, a roast or chicken... maybe a whole one if available... in the spirit of a turkey, but for one.  And, maybe, a keto dessert, say a alternatively sweetened chocolate lava cake?  Or even just a cake, perhaps with whipped cream, if I happen to have a bit more cream left... fresh enough.

Yeah, I will try to get the counter cleared, possibly several of them.  I can at least say I did something.  It did get up to 22 F, last I looked.  Not exactly warm, but a good bit warmer than 10.  Hmm, I won't be putting water out... unless it is all frozen.  I'll be ready, with extra water, just in case.  I meant to get out, check on them earlier, it just didn't happen.  Still, I'll do as I may.

Later.  Or good night?

Oh, but one thing?  The skies were clear while I was out tonight.  I do believe I did get to see the convergence of the planets!  It sure seemed to be quite visible, and still quite close.  I wonder how long that continues?  I was amazed, and pleased.  Perhaps not on the 21st, when it was best, but... I did get to see it.  As well, I will continue to look for it in the sky, as I put the ducks in each night... when possible.

Failure doesn't have to be permanent?  Or... being a day late doesn't always mean walking empty handed?  I was quite pleased with a minor happenstance.  I do feel better.
