Still a bit rough.

.

.

Aches, if slight, on many parts of the body.  Tired too, right directly even to, in, of, the heart.  Not deeply, just... broadly.  Still, hoping for more.  I may need a nap, or full sleep, before I start up.  I won't let myself get too tired, while trying to stay up in hopes of doing something.  I end up stretching too far and still not getting anything done.  I try one way, until it doesn't or stops working, then try another way.  No one way works every time, or all the time.  Like having your wheels stuck in the mud, forward and back, perhaps more gas or less... and hope with prayer.

I didn't have a beef roast out.  That has been set out, along with other meats.  I am hungry, but not... enough to push things.  A can of sardines.  Hey, don't judge.  That makes it so that I can get food iodine without having to sup on fish oil!  Choices, people.  As well, I had a few frozen strawberries in a cup of kefir.  It's... actually not bad at all, better if you let the berries thaw.  It was something, but not quite enough.

As well, I have actually started in on some of my canning jars of various sizes, used for various things.  Fatted coffee, making kefir, or holding tea, mostly, for now.  I really want to get into pickling.  Even onions, or small batches of sauerkraut, perhaps back to eggs?  Maybe... but with sausages this time.  They get grungy, really hard, bad, and fast.  I have tried detergent, time, elbow grease, but it just doesn't get it right.

I did give them all a wash.  Then rinsed and redid them.  I am trying PBW, in hopes it cleans it much better.  Tea stains, to protein from heavy whipping cream and other dairy products and liquids.  I try, each month, to figure out one to five problems I am having.  Stained shirts, to rabbit watering, to... whatever is causing me to itch, scratch, and screw up my nose in anger, disgust, or else.  Depends on what I can afford.  I like... not just to know... but to do.  I like things clean.

I tried a small but equal dose in quart and half gallon jugs.  I capped them, after filling them with the hottest tap I can obtain.  I have already washed them, and used a brush and steel wool to clean the rims.  Then I dosed them, added fresh hot water, and capped them.  I am shaking them every fifteen to twenty minutes, and turning them over.  Further, I will dump the ones I have just been washing with soap, rinse those and clean them, and then add this stuff to see if it can be used 'second hand'.  Just... trying to cut a few corners.  If it works, as often as I am using and cleaning jars, I will order it in bulk.  And... begin using glasses a bit more often as well.  

Figure it out, one problem at a time.  You will never get it all, get it perfectly, or any such things.  But you... can improve every so slightly, from time to time.  The funny thing?  About when you have it down, it is... nearing that long night bedtime.  Even if you live for a while, your ability to do it diminishes.  *le sighe*  Though, to be honest, even crippled... I am glad to keep learning, trying, moving on and up.

I best pull the waterers, flip the bottles, and begin edging toward sleep.  Good night, evening, and morning for some of you.
