Chicken stew, in the pot.

I... just had to keep going.  The sausage and sauerkraut was okay, but it just didn't hit the spot.  I ignored my own advice, more out of habit and being tired than simply not heeding my notions.  I put the veggies on 0 minute cooking.  And, again, they ended up overcooked.  I did get the meat more correctly done.  Though shaving a bit more time off would be okay.   Live and learn, and try not to cook while tired.

Up later than hoped, longer than wanted.  But still going to bed far earlier than I have been.  This time I think I can sleep.  I could have slept as early as 19:00~21:00.  Easily, perhaps earlier.  I just needed to eat, and was slogging.  Then I wanted something even more to eat.  So hungry, so tired... sleepy... stuck between those in a very difficult way.

In four days I will have taken my medicine, missing only one day fully, for two months.  It's not a record.  But it probably is a record for when starting medicine back up after a long outage.  That is very rough waters.  I usually miss a day or three for the first few weeks, then a day or two a week for the next month or two, until it settles.  While it has been rather cool, it has also been... static, rather tame as to changes.  No drastic ups and downs.  I think that was more of it than anything else.  I do my honest best, it... just... isn't all that much when everything is against me.

Internals hurt, but it really isn't the organs.  I thought it felt different.  It's from the fall.  That tore and ripped some things.  I am very good at handling pain, even... unusual, or new, types of pain.  No tylenol recently.  I try to just do that once a week, but had to take more there for a bit.  It hurts enough, easily, to take tylenol even today, and yesterday.  And on back.  I... will wait until next week.

Oh, something else about chicken?  If you strip the skin?  Better add butter.  You NEED fat.  I was wondering why the last few chicken soups/stews were off.  That is why.  Butter adds that needed fat.  Chicken is too lean, probably even with the skin in.  I will probably add butter when I do chicken from now on, almost no matter what else.  However, I need to get unsalted butter.  Yeah.

Later...  Wait... no, good night.  Sleep well, I know I will.
