Still awake.

I couldn't do much.  I did get the burger fried, and had a wonderful taco salad.  Oh, yes, quite nice.  Burger, spiced well but not too heavily this time.  Chipotle and regular pepper flecks, well, for heat.  Onion, garlic, and a few others to bring out the right extra notes.  As well, the raw sour cream for a local dairy, cheese, and romaine.  I had a plate and an half.  I couldn't stop.

I... saw that an item that I didn't think was going to show until Monday kept creeping closer.  It... almost, as is not usual, seemed to be getting to a delivery point ahead of when they do that, if they mean to deliver Monday.  Usually, if to be delivered Monday, it won't arrive at a certain point until Saturday, often later... or Sunday.

But, no.  It arrived at the next stop over yesterday afternoon, was it?  Now, they might have simply "lost" it there, but... the movement had been steady.  There was a chance it would show, at the delivery point, today.  In time to deliver?  Right.  But, whatever.  They don't deliver on Saturdays.  Silly.  But... it did arrive.  And... it is out!  Must be the season.  

I have only been waiting on this for.... five or six years.  So, yeah.  Who knows.  It could still end up lost, it could arrive broken, the system might not work... lots of problems.  BUT... it... is well ahead, and out for delivery.  I have been researching, in preparation.  The question is, will it show early or late?  Should I nap?  Oh, I don't know.  Now that I know, I am almost too excited to sleep!

Then I heard something go by.  It sounded like a plow.  Plow?  I jumped, and had a look out.  No snow.  Sheesh!  But it did sound like a plow went by.  Maybe.  Or farm equipment, dragging something?  Don't scare me like that!  Oh well.  I suppose I ought to go take a nap.  Except I want to wait for dawn light, so as to feed and water the ducks, and exchange water for the rabbits.  Then I can sleep.

I best put the burger crumble up, after, too.  It should be cool enough.  Later today, I hope to get the chicken baked, then pull the meat from the bone.  I really am excited about chicken veggie soup.  My homemade beef stock doesn't have much taste, but will have the bone stuff and gelatin that soups and stews love.  I think I have a package of pork hocks as well.  Not for flavor, just for the thickening.  Who knows... a bit of a frankensoup, but... I think it will do.

Later.  Or... more later.  Not quite good night?  We will see.  Definitely later.
