Still cool out there.

.
.
While 58 isn't cold, compared to 80, or 74, the temps for the last two mornings, it is much more reasonable.  Further, it is 08:45 already, and still cool?  Overcast, but it was overcast when it was 80... and yesterday too?  Bleh, I can't... be sure, but I think both mornings were overcast.  Strange thing was that in spite of starting out at 80, the other day, it only got up to 83, from what I saw.  Today?  Who knows.  It could stay cool, or it might get up into the 90s.  The world isn't playing by old rules.  It seems to just do whatever the hell it wants to do, so... I just don't know.

Blood sugar is up to 161, after breakfast.  Starting out at 125, I am not terribly pleased.  I was careful with sweeteners.  It just doesn't seem to matter, sometimes.  I am thinking a few eggs, in a bit.  The canned corned beef hash seems to be okay, at least with diabetes.  I am getting a different kind, supposed to be better... or more of the corned beef flavor.  This really does taste more like beef hash.  And, yet, it isn't bad.  I just want more food stored, and some variety.

I keep watching my budget, looking for items, keeping them in my list.  Trying to keep enough available so if there is a really good price drop, I can jump on it.  I only put things in my cart if I consider them affordable, or am specifically waiting for a price drop (to what it was, perhaps).  Surprisingly, from time to time, prices absolutely crash.  

Or, with some things, like this hash, the price was relatively good.  But, it dropped a seventh... making it much better.  So I ordered not the three I was going to, but four twelve packs.  This is stuff I can use.  One can of such, per day, for food, is doable... if it all fails, falls, crashes.  Or, I could trade food for something else.  Canned food is semi-liquid, and yet can feed me.  A relatively reasonable item to have.

I keep checking, and looking over the cart.  Buying occasionally.  Trying to keep some money in the account, for any expenses which might arise, unremembered.  But, I don't want to keep much money in the account.  With inflation and no interest, they are scalping me.  So, I prefer to not give them anything to take.  Food will have value, even if there is never  crash.  Money?  Not so much.  I can't collect it fast enough to make it useful to save.  If I were rich, these days, even a millionaire, I'd be terribly worried.  As a pauper, I don't care.  I... don't have much to lose.  House could become worth less than I owed.  Though... probably not.  Not here, not now.  And, technically, with everything locked in, I almost can't lose.  Even if my house went 'underwater', considering how much rent is going up, it is still better to be underwater than paying rent.  Rent on this place would be $1.5k to $2k.  The mortgage is much less.  The thing is, I think... I can sell the current mortgage rate, if I choose to sell the house.  It was part of the program.  So... the value of the house will remain higher than those who don't have that built in.  Of course, finding someone who could afford to buy, in almost any case, would still be a trick?

I would only sell if I thought I was going overseas.  There is, currently, only one nation functionally open to the unvaxxed.  I am waiting for more to open up.  If there becomes three or four reasonable nations, with some protections against enforced vaxxes, I'll stay here.  Hereabouts, if there were more problems than not, I could... drift.  Not so easy in the Philippines, or Ecuador, or Cambodia, for example.  Outright impossible in Vietnam, China, or such.  I'd place Europe closer to the latter group, as to sliding.

Well... on to something?  Or nothing, as usual.  I really want to get to things.  I just can't seem to do so.  I do keep praying.  I really want to get to work.  I haven't been able to do the stairs.  I did so for three or four days, then just... couldn't.  Though, I am setting up something to begin practicing upper body strength too.  Something I bought a few years ago, but never set up.  I... will... get to it.  When... when I can get to things again.  Later.
