Got dark.

Stayed cold.  Well, I had the furnace set at 70.  Around here, with low humidity (indoors, currently), that is cool.  Nearing cold.  I was wondering why I couldn't get going.  Fair enough.  So, when I realized all the problems, I turned the furnace up, started planning for something warm to eat, and am trying to get something going.

Now, while I won't get going, hiking, today.  I sure might be able to get a pack set up.  With a number of extra things, like light rain gear in there, to top off in case it begins to rain... or even snow at some altitudes.  Just some pants slickers, and a hooded waterproof jacket.  I usually don't need more, to stay warm.  As long as I am not soaking wet, the rest is doable... down to... well, it used to be down to -40 without much more.  Now, not so sure.  Getting old does that.  I should still be able to handle -20 to 0 okay, F.  Probably.  As long as I am not wet.

So, yea, I'll... keep working at things.  Get the dishes kicked out, set up a hiking bag for a quick go, take a shower before rinsing dishes, and then clearing the tub for another shower tomorrow.  Trim my face, maybe shave.  Start some laundry.  Just... some things.  I can hope.  Frying eggs, shortly.  The meat I had out, is bad.  I have bacon I baked, then froze.  I'm not sure it is any good.  I was curious.  But, then, I made too much bacon to eat, reasonably, at once.  Sort of... got carried away.  So, it would have gone to waste no matter.  Then forgot about it.  Will see if it is any good.  I pulled meat, to thaw, for the week.  A little less than before.  Oh, and I do have pork roast.

Actually, I am not doing eggs.  I'm steaming broccoli.  Might as well put a small chunk of port roast in with that.  Was thinking I was going to just have veggies, with butter.  But, yea, roast would do well.  I had salad earlier.  I heated the rest of the salad dressing, and used half of it.  Heated with Carolina Reaper pepper flakes.  An eighth of a teaspoon, in an half pint jar, which was only half full?  I... wondered if I was pushing it.  And, I definitely... really, actually wasn't.  Tasty!  A bit of a kick, but not even a serious one, for me.  A nice pleasant Sunday ride, in the daily driver.  But... nice.

Hmm, that might... the remainder... go well on the roast.  Or a teaspoon full?  Maybe.  I usually don't marinade, but I do like to sauce.  I'd prefer hot/warm sauces, but... some days... do what you have, and can.  Making water, too.  I have to remember to plug the freezer back in, right away.  Could lose a lot of meat by not, and have a heck of a mess.

Even with it being somewhat, partly, mostly(?) overcast, I have the front curtain open.  I have a thinner inner curtain, so no one can just look in.  But, with that open, even being darker, I do get more light.  Trying to enjoy more, get a little more sunlight.  Later.
