Second chores finished.

.
.
Actually a bit ago, an hour or two?  Their waterers were definitely frozen again.  Fresh water was enjoyed by all.  It doesn't look like the tom has been around.  Personally, I hope he does have a home, somewhere.  A warm place, regular food, he is just shy of other company?  I can hope.

I am hoping, yet, to get the hydrant thawed and refill waterers, refresh the cat water, and then refill all the buckets.  That really does well, lasts a goodly while.  When everything is reset, as I am doing things now, two buckets, including fresh water for the girls twice, lasts about five days.

I had really been worried about my medicine.  But a closer look and it shows I have only missed three times in the last five days.  Not perfect, obviously, but not nearly as bad as I was thinking it was.  And, I would guess, I have only missed slow acting insulin last night, so once in... a rather long time.

Given how beaten up, tired, and such, I have been here in these last few days, this isn't bad.  It might continue.  I am stumbling, not much I can do about it when I am in this sort of shape.  The cold has been getting to me.  It was 10 today, even in the bright sunny daylight.  It just gets right into my bones.  I have been keeping the heat up.  And, yes, that makes it more pleasant.  But it still doesn't make up for the lack of sun (generally, just good today and maybe a bit yesterday).  Just seeing the sun helps, but that is weighed against the cold.

Oh, I did, actually, weigh the chops, after cooking.  Then, weighed what I didn't eat.  It was a 13.68 ounces freshly cooked, and the remnants were either 8 or 6 ounces, give or take.  I... should write these things down.  I'm going by 6, to err in favor or weightloss.  Which means, two chops, those two, were ~8 ounces?  Something like that, rounding up.

Ugh, couldn't find good nutritional data for pork shoulder chops.  All I could find was British, and they are horrendous at maffs and culinary.  Why only British and such tonight?  I hate when they direct all things to "Over There" at certain times.  It isn't even that late here.  We really need to take the internet back.  Third worlders, which pretty much includes Europe now, just can't do modern things.

Still, I did get yesterday calculated.  Wow, eating out is... not good.  Never fries.  I didn't realize they had so many calories.  Oh, but I did learn that the Five Guys does make burgers without buns.  I should have asked.  Just assumed they didn't.  Strangely, if I had seen a bunless burger option, I would have not ordered the fries.  But, since I was in for a penny, I was in for the pound.  Bam.

I've got to tell you, though.  I am eating too little, and it is causing imbalance.  The hunger that grows is beyond my ability to control.  Though, it might have something to do with the cold, as well.  When one is always shivering, perhaps eating a bit more is required?  I'll... have to sort things out.  

I am pretty sure, however, tonight, I will eat more.  I do want to avoid carby stuff, like yogurt and fruit.  Maybe yogurt, but... not a lot.  The problem is, some of what I have to eat is a minimum of even fats and proteins, while most is fat heavy.  Ugh...  As it sits now, I am beginning to look for foods which are protein heavy, and using the fat goals as maximums, not necessary to fulfill.  The only thing I really am aiming to eat all of is protein.  But I am living in a protein desert... sort of.

Well, all is well.  Rabbits, cats, and myself are fed.  Food logging is caught up.  Oh, but I still want to get fresh water in and sorted.  A shower yesterday, and two days before that.  The house is hell, but... I'll keep at things.  Maybe, soon, a bit, or more, done.  Now, though, to figure out what to eat.  Later, or goodnight.
