What for supper?

.
.
Supper?  Lunch?  Dinner?  Surely not breakfast!  Well, maybe.  By sort if not time or meal placement?  I mean, fried eggs, to me, are always breakfast foods.  And I am leaning toward eggs.  But fried, scrambled... or other?  I have been thinking about it for the last two hours.

The girls have been fed.  I haven't gotten out to the rabbits yet, but will.  Late or not, I'll... do it.  Oh, and I best get litter tended.  Probably have to throw the lot out and start over.  I did have a very good, rather long, run on keep up on litter.  I just pushed and fell, hard.

On the good side of things, I am not actually that far behind on pill medicine.  I only missed one dose in the last... two weeks or so?  At least.  I know I hit the last week of my last pill box well.  And I am just down one dose, and that from yesterday.  I may have been struggling with it, confused about days, not sure when to take it and all, but I... got it all in, save one dose, and I will try to get it in even yet.  Ugh.

Cold, people.  Colder than walk-in deep freezers.  A dry cold, at least.  And, even so, the snow is disappearing on my lawn.  Not in my field.  I suppose houses give off lots of radiant heat?  It just seems odd.  The rabbits don't even blink at it.  Their coats are quite nice.  Though, they do stay still.  You would think they would be more active, but... no.

Oh, I have chicken that needs to be cooked.  I'll check it, but it should be good.  And, tonight, I am going to try egg whites in my coffee.  Not an extremely hot coffee, I don't want it cooked.  I just want it to mix as a liquid.  Protein!  But first, to figure out, say, 20 grams of protein... also 100 calories.

Done.  As it turns out, there are ~13 tablespoons in a cup.  A serving is three tablespoons, so round to four servings provides for 1 cup... actually that is a bit more but within tolerances.  In with warmer but not too hot coffee, with cream and a few drops of two sweeteners (so as not to cause an insulin spike)... and... down the hatch?  Well?  It's... a bit different.  Not great, not terrible.  Different.

Can I eat this every other day?  Maybe.  Can I eat more of it?  Probably not in this form.  I also have protein powder on the way.  Why?  I need a lot more protein.  I simply can't eat what my body needs, even purely at maintenance.  No wonder I have grown weak.  Age will do that, but not eating well enough to even maintain muscle will lead to greater weakness.  Time will tell if protein can be leveled and maintained, then if that works... at both regaining and maintaining muscle.  I'm not going after the world cup in old guy body building, or such.  I just want to be a bit more able, fit.  We'll see.

I have carrots steaming.  I'll probably just have a few meat sticks and cheese, for lunch.  Lunch?  By time, I guess that is it.  I may get to the rabbits, while the carrots cook.  A bit warm and some cold.  I prefer hot food in the winter, it just isn't always possible.  

Hmm... the egg whites sure thicken the fatted coffee.  I am down to about a tablespoon of cream per coffee, so it had become rather watering.  The egg whites add... a fine grain?  Something like that, texturally.  Not as smooth as cream, but not terribly graining.  Just... think eggnog.  While smooth, it is thick too.  Unless you add enough vodka to enjoy it.  Well, that was my theory when younger.

Yea.  On to getting the rabbits a bit of a later night watering.  I am pretty sure they will take it whenever they can get it, in this cold and dark.  Hmm... I still wonder if there is a way... You know?  Christmas lights!  They would work around the closer cages, not really out to the outbuilding though.  Though... with the ducks gone, perhaps I could move those cages closer?  So I don't have to walk so far?  And, have access to power?  Heck, I might be able to put all the cages in there?  Maybe, just... maybe.  That would be a lot nicer for them.  And I wouldn't have to struggle with tarps, wind, else.  And... could close them up, so nothing is bothering them.  Maybe, maybe.  I'll... have to see about that.

Well... all good to plan.  But until I can function, it's... just that.  Later.
