Cranky, in a strange way.

.

.

No, not ornery, or in pain, mostly.  Just a bit tired.  A bit achy in a very strange way.  The pain isn't plain, simple, right out there.  It's in the background.  Not serious, just saddlebagging me a bit.  Not stopping me, but slowing me down.  I did get the dishes washed, rinsed, dried, and airing out.  I just watered and fed the ducks.  It looks like Kay is setting a clutch.  There might be another girl or two sitting.  I try not to disturb them.

One of the things washed, was the pressure cooker pan.  It's been put back together.  I don't close it up for half a day, gives it time to air out, completely dry.  I am hoping, perhaps this evening, to do chicken hindquarters.  I would like to practice boning them.  I will add the bones to the cooker, but won't have to bother with deboning the meat later.  I can just pull the meat, then let the bones and broth cook longer, on their own.  More chicken feet would be nice, though I don't really need it?  Vegggies and mushrooms would be quite nice though.

A shower, shortly.  A trim first?  A shave after?  Trash was put out last night.  I haven't heard the truck come by, but it may have.  I'd like to bring that back when that happens.  I may actually try to dress as if I had somewhere to go.  Just... to feel almost human again.  Food, too, before long.

It almost looks like the sun is making a break for it.  Not sure if clouds will form and close it all off again today.  Either way, I have already done some good.  And, I will probably do a bit more.  Not a lot.  I don't have the energy or... focus.  I won't do a lot.  I will do a bit more.  So cold, it seems.  Some warmth would help.

A quick check, and...  It is 45 out there.  The sun is trying to come out, but clouds are definitely around.  Closing things down wouldn't be impossible.  Could use more rain anyway.  There is a cool to cold breeze going.  And there is the hint of moisture on the air... if distant.  That could change quickly.

It could be a good day, no matter.  It might well end up being a good week.  If I could... just keep up with food and the house... just to where I have things... make slight inroads in a few places/rooms... and do some of the things outdoors I have been hoping to hit... and do those regardless of foul, cold, hot, or whatever weather, life would be satisfying.  

If, after the shower and else, I can dress warmly... if the sun is still up and out... I may go out, grab a place to sit, and just enjoy the sunshine for a spot.  I have missed it.  Later.
