Still, there is today. I haven't given up just because I had difficulty
getting going. That was yesterday. I set the laundry to a 30
minute finish to drying, as well, brought all the dirty clothes I could find
down, to be washed today. Well, what can be washed. And I set up a
basket to take upstairs, of clothes needing sorted.
I broke down a few trash bag boxes, which... yea, they are still getting in
and stealing. There were bags in all of those, a third of the where
full. All gone. Still getting in and stealing. I will add
more latch locks to the one back door which is still vulnerable, and do
another trick or two. Of course, all the locks in the world do
absolutely no good if you don't latch, set, or otherwise engage them. It
is difficult to remember every single night. Though, what I am doing has
cut down on thievery some. But they are insistent.
Blood sugar got a bit low, so I had something to eat. It rose a bit
drastically, considering what I ate. So I had to dose again, as it was
up to 152. A small dose of fast acting insulin, with some kefir, plus
slow acting insulin. And, this morning, 148 fasting blood sugar?
Stupid thing. Until it submits, it's like trying to get a wild animal
into a barn. Once it is in, it's... mostly... good. Until then,
especially right at the gate, it's terribly out of control. Can't tell
what it will do.
To bed a bit late. All good. I think I slept right at eight
hours. And I slept well, other than peeing often. For as often as
I went, I didn't fill the jug even a quarter full. Ugh... hate
that. I did finish the steak yesterday. Quite a good meal.
Not as good as ribeye, but not bad. A bit much fat, but all the protein
I could dream of.
Planning the meal for the day is getting easier. Keeping meats thawed is
the biggest trick. Bacon and eggs for lunch, but fewer all around.
Have it more often. But all the planning in the world is great, until I
can't eat that much, or don't like it. Or, on some day, just... can't
cook. The other difficulty is getting enough protein. No matter
how much I stuff into the meal, natural and produced, it is still a struggle
to even hit 113... the technical low bar. My real goal is 150 to 200,
and as close to, or over, 200 as possible.
I think, today, it is 153, so far. Perhaps another chicken thigh, if I
can handle it. Yes, I've planned it in. But actually eating it is
another thing. That porterhouse took care of protein! At 132, at
least... Still? That only got me most of the way. I still had to
sort out other. And, so full from that, eating other meats was out of
the question. Mostly powder and egg whites carried me over. I am
going to have to add a lot more egg whites to my storage though. If,
mostly, I will depend on protein powder.
I would like enough for a cup of egg whites a day, so about ten
containers? That... might be price... hmm... that would be about $50 to
$60 a month, and is replacing other things in my diet. So... yea,
maybe. Powders, so far, are about $60 for the month, at two doses a
day. Though some I am looking at are a bit more expensive, or
similar. None are less expensive.
Still, for a third of my "food" bill, for eating right, and basing my
nutrition on protein? I... think that might be reasonable. Most
people honestly don't eat right. I certainly haven't been. Still
miss a lot. It's a long slog, and I can't seem to die, so I'd like to
try to get things sorted a bit. And, maybe, figure out how to begin
swimming again. With the right food program, I could see that being much
more useful this time around. Gosh, but figuring out the world is quite
a thing, doubly so for a triple plus dead guy.
Hmm? Oh, I best get breakfast started. I set the alarm for the
girls. Will get the rabbits around sunup... or an hour or two later
anyway. A shower, as soon as I wake a bit. Then dishes in, and
another load of laundry set to go. I am sure I will get to it
today. Almost sure. Mostly sure. Later.
