A very nice day.

.

It was up to 60 F, or more?  I didn't look carefully enough.  Tired.  For as warm as it is, it is dark.  Getting darker by the moment.  Last I looked it had dropped to about 54, but it had been pretty warm most of the day.  The ducks are enjoying exploring more of the yard.  Even Sam got out!  She has been in and out three different times.

I left milk out for her, which worked the first time.  And really, a second time.  She thought she wanted to come in once when I was out, but returned right back out as soon as she could.  She may have feared the ducks?  They... can be weird... herd animals as they are.  If Sam leaves her little upward hidey-hole, they will follow her around almost without a thought.  Her flicking tail is part of it.  *grins*  Works on me, sometimes, if... of a different species.  Just... yea...

She came back in, while I was fussing with trash and recycling.  But this time, to get kibble's and water, I think.   Then, back out she went.  She really is an outdoors girl.  Even if, at her age, about all she does is nap out there.  Still, I've... been thinking about it.  Figuring out how to hang a hammock... a camping, not play, one.  Keeping the ties up, at least any I put on a structure.  And, then, going out, from time to time, if it is too hot in the house or if I just want to enjoy sleeping or napping out of doors.  I guess I can't complain... other than that she already has a perch.  Though... why do I think I would end up with a cat in the sack?  Women!  It... doesn't even matter which species, always.

As mentioned, trash and recycling have mostly been handled.  I have one more load of recycling to sort, if that probably won't be enough to take out.  I'll just keep it in the container, in the bag... or not.  Might just take it all out.  Trash is mostly sorted, more could always go, but that would take... more.  I nearly cleared the freezer top, and will finish that before long.  Perhaps after a nap?  Then wash it, dry it, and begin on the dishes.  Then a trim and shower?  I can hope.  I've been hoping for a few days again, without quite getting to it.

Liver, later tonight.  This time with a shot of fresh lemon as it is plated.  Oh, and I am hoping to remember the Idaho faux potatoes as well.  Parmesan or cheddar?  I'll... think on it.  I did have a cup of chicken stock.  I have one more from what was made.  I'll pull two more containers out.  I have used the stock in other things, though, too.  Including making gravy for the liver.

The next time I am out, I hope to get a whole chicken, and more chicken and pork feet, and tripe.  I can handle more chicken stock, if really what will be made is chicken meat.  The stock is mostly a biproduct this time.  I will use have in a soup, of the meat, put half up for later use.  I don't have to use pulled chicken just for soup.  It, warmed and slightly spiced, herbed, and such would make a fine salad.  Hmm, might pick up two whole chickens.  Not my favorite, I don't prefer breast meat.  But, pulled, spiced, cooked lightly enough, I hopefully won't notice.  Yea, picky, about some things.  Then again, as mentioned, food isn't and shouldn't be just about preferences.

Which reminds me?  Bell peppers.  I absolutely... hate... no, now, dislike... that in cooked food.  I like spears of it, raw.  In salads, with celery as snack food, or such.  But cooked?  I really, really, don't like it.  So?  So... I need to learn to like it.  I hate this process, to start.  But I really like, in the end, having one more food I can eat and truly enjoy.  I can't add it to liver, this time.  I don't have any, and no way into town yet tonight.  But, I will buy some, and try to keep it on hand, for adding to liver and other cooked foods.  Not every night, that... rubs me raw.  But, a few times a week until... I don't even notice.  Thanks, Jean.  Both literally and cynically?  Something.  Ha!  Your trying to make me a better man.  *grins*

A bit achy and rough.  Falling down tired.  The sky is falling, it is getting so dark, and seemed to get so quickly.  A nap.  Yes.  Then work as soon as I can wake.  Or a bit of uptime, then another nap!  Sleep until I am rested enough to work, in parts or bigger chunks, or weeks if necessary.  No reason to be awake if I can't work... even a bit.  And, right now, that's a no-go.

Later or much later.
