Surprises!

Yes, I... got to some of it.  First, I hit the waterers.  Cleaned, each and every, nipples to bottles, inside and out, twice over.  I don't use soap, as dish soap is hard on animals.  Which means I really need to keep up.  And, basically, I do.  I was running this last load long.  So tired, sleeping so often and so long.  But, looking them over closely, one wash should have been enough.  I just prefer a bit more caution.  It's been four or five days since their last cleaning.  Even hopskipping bottles, that's a bit long.  They look and feel clean.

Then on to a trim.  If nothing else, it makes the face a bit more visible.  I am hoping to yet get a shower, and then an actual shave.  I like shaves, as long as they aren't required daily.  It's a start.

Next, I cleared and cleaned the drying area, for dishes.  Clean, right to the bone, then dried off.  That is it, for now.  I am hoping to get a shower in an hour or two.  Putting up the towels beforehand, and shaving right after?  The former is required, or would make easy and absolute sense.  Shaving?  Maybe, if I am not too tired.  Then to start dishes.  Or... that is a goal.

I will probably have the last of the soup tonight.  The pork is warming, for pulling.  I may add some of that to the soup.  As mentioned, meat is slim in the remainder of the soup.  And, since I am using beef stock, and chicken meat to date, pork meat will fit in just as well.  The final hope is to begin a chicken stock, using chicken feet, mostly, and pork hocks as an add.  Next time I will make beef stock.

I, earlier, ordered stock containers.  Those deli containers, only a bit more (it is hoped) for freezing.  I would love to recycle those, but handing washing is... not good.  If I had a dish washer... of one sort or another *wink* I might try to be extra frugal.  Oh, and to my surprise?  I am told the containers will be in tomorrow.  Though, given my odd sleep, I'm not sure if they mean today tomorrow or tomorrow tomorrow?  It depends on when I saw their notice... was it before or after midnight, and my or their time?  Gah!  I hate sleeping in fits and starts.  Days and nights and things make absolutely no sense.  At least, when using the 24 hour clocks everywhere in my house possible, I... know the difference between night and day.  That... was harsh... back before that was a common option.  Especially in the winter, where most of the day is just as dark as any other part, 06:00 to 18:00, even 07:00 to 16:00 at times?  I can't... remember.

I am sure enjoying stocks, soups, and else.  I do believe I will pull the eight quart instapot out, and begin hitting that for stock.  Smaller batches, but so much faster!  A few hours versus one to several days.  I just need apple cider vinegar.  I could use regular vinegar, this time?  I... honestly... can't see how there would be a difference.  The mother would be killed in the heat, even at a rolling simmer, definitely in the pressure cooker.  So... I... think I have everything, save the containers.  As soon as those show, I'll get to it.  I'll push to get the dishes out of the way.  And, after chicken stock, I'll probably immediately make beef stock.  This is excellent stuff.  I can keep the 16 ounce containers for sipping through the week, and the 32 ouncers for soups and stews, mostly.

All right.  Yes.  I'll... keep at it, as possible.  Tonight, and then after I wake.  I'm in a fighting mood.  I am dying, hard, and I don't want to be.  Oh, next wake cycle, I will set up medicine.  I know, I know, but I have been so absolutely beat and off kilter I haven't been able to think my way through setting up medicine.  I'm ghosting myself, if not by will.  Be well, work hard, don't die until it's your time, and later.
