A start, or second start.

.

Dishes were finished and hand dried.  Set out to air dry.  Chores are complete.  A lunch was had.  The last portion of kraut and kielbasa.  That really is tasty.  I would like to eventually try it with fermented sauerkraut.  It might not be all that cooked, but I won't always be cooking it.  As well, it's the idea.  Homesteading food, actually made, at home, from raw ingredients, over time.  I have a 20 liter crock, just for this... with a moisture sealing lid.  Though, to start, I may just use mason jars and self-burping lids?  Or water regulated burpers.  Yea, I have some... interesting tools.

I did clean the toilet again, plus the toilet brush and it's holder were given a soak as I cleaned... disinfected... a mop bucket.  I am... almost... getting ready for a major push on the cave.  Light, a bit more warmth, plenty of good sleep, right food, and... I'll... be ready.  I am focusing very precisely, acutely, willfully, at doing these things, and little things to help facilitate when the time comes.  I am getting ready.

Odd how long it truly does take to get ready.  In high school sport, we practiced weeks or months for our first game, then daily for weekly games.  Minimumly five or even six to one, and that once we were up to speed fitness wise.  Though I am not sure I ever felt up to speed.  I was always tired.  There isn't a way to get out of that, it's just that, in that condition, I could work through it.  Usually.  It was knowing when to hustle and when to slow and catch a breath.

Yea.  I think things will be warming up, and heating up, around the cave soon.  Later.

The plan has been changed, slightly.  I will do another, if very small, load of darks, after a shower.  Then do whites right after.  I need to refill two batches of waterers.  I am hoping to make a few calls.  As well, I would like to begin some works outdoors.  Ugh...  I don't think I'll be to town today.  Just not quite up to it.  The darkness is getting to me.  Still, I think I can do some things.  

A shower today, dishes set up and gone through, a trim before the shower...  I am going to try to drive whatever dishes I set up clean through today, so that the shower is ready for tomorrow.  First thing, it is hoped.  Yea.  A man can dream.  And, if not completely, or every detail, those dreams can, do, come true.  Just a bit of a break, as I digest dinner.  Lunch?  Supper?  Lupper, I should think.

Hopefully liver tonight, or it has to go out.  If it doesn't have to go out already.  We'll see.
