A very good start.

Today is going to be a lighter day.  Still, there were things to do to create, or recreate, order.  Stock was separated into freezer containers.  One quart and two pints, labeled and dated, in the freezer.  A pan of beef meat and stock was set for meals today.  Then all dishes, pots, scoops, and else was taken in, washed, washed twice, rinsed, dried, and some of it has already been put away.  It was done in parts, so when I the second batch was finished, the first batch was ready to be put up, or... some such.

As well, I had a kefir breakfast.  I miss that when I am out.  It's been a day or two.  Later, I'll have the gribenes (the baked, in my case, chicken skin) and eggs.  I have heard it is the Jewish replacement for bacon.  As I mentioned, I... thought it was as good as bacon.  I will put it back in the oven for, say, ten at 350?  The goal will be to crisp it back up, perhaps more than it was.

It is amazing what little bits of savings can end up... proving itself out.  The skin would have been wasted on the chicken broth.  It already had enough fat and gel.  Oh... another way to collect schmaltz is to skim the fat off stock, while it is hot or cold.  I... keep it in, because I prefer the extra fat, being keto.  Still, if I ever make it down to, say, 220~240 pounds, and begin a maintenance diet, I may begin looking for ways to cut fat... or calories really... which... means fat, I may begin pulling the schmaltz that way, or more often.  Just not when using it to treat a cold, or prepare for one.

It is almost magic, the way things are going.  Aches and pains, this morning, as last evening.  I have been pushing.  Though weather moving in, as you age, can add to things.  Slower, but not a stop.  Business, when I can focus.  Breakfast, or brunch, in a bit.  Boxes to be broken down.  As I clear areas, before putting things back so as to open the areas back up, I sweep.

As well, cat food downstairs.  The trap set up down there.  Cleaning the bathroom.  And I may investigate just what my steam cleaner really is geared to be able to do.  Sure, the carpet needs solution, but other areas don't.  And, the nice thing about a steamvac, is it doesn't just lay the steam, it pulls it back in.  It is a much better system then using a steamer followed up by using a shop vac... if it has the right attachments... or if they are available.

I may, in time, if I can keep going, get down to cleaning walls, floors wood and carpet, windows, and nooks and crannies.  But, for now, it's a matter of opening up, reducing, sorting, storing, and disposing in an organized manner.  Cleaning as areas open.  Light cleaning first, just a broom.  Floors and cobwebs both, and perhaps more.

Blood sugar was 152 fasting.  BP was 199/123 with a pulse of 100 this morning, right as I sit.  I may try to do those two at the same time, right as I wake.  For today it will do.  I'll just report them every few days, regardless of how often I check.  I'll bet is was lower, until I exploded into work.  Maybe.

I'm not fully collected.  Tired, achy too.  Still, I'll get to some lighter duties and business.  It's a nice day to be more relaxed.  Dark, windy, cool, and just a bit damp around the edges.  The sun, it seems, is like speed.  Which, I presume, can also be a bit too much.  Later.
