Breakfast, sort of.

Steel cut oats.  Take a long time to cook.  But, that's... how I want it.  Healthy?  Probably not.  Still, it's... something.  As is, I am experimenting with them.  I wanted to try them straight up.  Thirty minutes to cook.  Still, pretty tasty.  I'll be mixing it with chia, for an overnight soaking gig.  And, maybe, a few other ways.  Some say it isn't actually fit even for most livestock.  But... they have been saying many things about many foods for a long time, and seem to be... generally... wrong.  The more certain they are, the harder they fall?  Something.  

I'm not sure there is optimal actual food.  There is far suboptimal food stuffs.  But for real foods?  Balance, limits.  But as we age, we will gain weight.  Our systems simply can't keep weight off.  Can't burn what we eat.  Nor do we have the strength to do the work needed to lose the weight.  Those skinny old people?  I have to imagine they nearly starve themselves.  No, not nearly, just not to death.  Or... yet.  I'm not THAT old guy.  I believe more in keto, paleo, carnivore.  But those aren't bulletproof, perfect, or absolute.  Just... probably... for me... better.  Usually.

I put the canned ham and potatoes from dust out, to warm, before putting into a warm oven sometime tonight.  I'll add a can of green beans, the moisture will keep the mixture hydrated.  Nothing fancy, but it will do.

While tinkering out there, I got busy on the table.  There have been things there for too long.  Some I tossed.  Some will be going down to the larder.  Some will be staying up and put into the larder up here, or finding a little place on their own.  I got down to the tabletop!  Not... cleared, all the way, but... that was... a bit of working.  Not hard work, in the physical sense.  Hard work, for me, in the sorting sense.  But I did very well.

Before long, I am hoping on a shower.  I may eat first?  I just am not sure.  A cup of joe first of all?  For sure, I think.  And, if all that gets sorted, perhaps a bit more cleaning.  I'll save the oven for Friday.  Boxes, first, in here.  And clearing this room.  I can't do the book cases.  But, perhaps, I can begin going through even those?  Maybe.

It is 75 in this front room, near the computer.  But I have everything, mostly, shut.  Cooler in the rest of the house.  The oven will, while warming food, warm the house a bit.  With as dry as it is, that heat dissipates quickly, though.  It really doesn't linger.  Still, for a bit, it will warm the colder part of the house.

On to... things.  I think I'll get a coffee going, and start the food with it.  Then, play games until dinner.  Perhaps a bit after, until it digests a bit.  Shower.  Then begin in on boxes.  Good... morning, evening, day.
