A rather successful day.

I got the shower, no shave yet but the trim is quite good.  I then found the eight quart instapot, unboxed it, and removed the tags.  It will need to be washed, but that will be very easy.  Then to town.  A shopping list, for two different stores, plus plans to stop at the cell store... to figure out what the problem was.  Yes, I got to it.  And made it.

Shopping.  Just a few items.  Mushrooms, for the last of the soup stock.  Absolutely delicious stuff.  A few types of sausage, for pickling with eggs.  Though, too, sauerkraut and kielbasa to make a sauerkraut soup.  Just... saw it online, and thought it looked good.  Bits and pieces, veggies, to various other items.  Just a few things.  Should work out.

Then I stopped at the store I picked up pork hocks and else yesterday, to see if they carried chicken bones.  Nope.  I would guess nobody does.  You buy your own chicken, then save the bones from it, or bone the meat precooked, for better broth.  Or... you cook the whole thing, part way, pull it to save the meat... or leave it and lose the meat...  It's... tricky.  Decisions and outcomes.  Anyway, I tried.

The cell store got it sorted.  What they told the people in the store was that what I paid was a minimum.  But corporate said it wasn't enough.  They really need to sort these things out.  If, perhaps, as suggested, they just mess with people who aren't doing well with the social scoring.  China has come to America, through corporations.  It isn't just the government that has betrayed us.  Which is actually in charge is anyone's guess though.  Government or corporate.  China controls those both though, at this point.

Well, mushrooms and soup have just finished heating.  I usually heat it, cover it, let it cool with the lid on for a bit, then with the lid off for a bit, then eat.  It'll be a while still.  Assuming I don't crash, which might happen.  Just because I do well doesn't mean I will do so for long.  I think I have been awake longer than usual, of late, already.  I am crashing.  We'll see.  I'd like to stretch it, but don't think I can.

Good... afternoon, day, and maybe night.
