A good dinner.

.

.

These pork blade chops looked good.  Now, I only ate one with dinner, but I cooked them both.  Carrots and peas on the side.  Initially I undercooked the pork.  No.  NO.  Just... no.  So, back in, and over time it got done.  Not too done, just... done.  I like to think of pork steak-like cuts as steaks that can be cooked to doneness and still taste good.  Not... quite as good as a solid beef steak, but not bad at all.

Fatted coffees, and a lot of kefir.  That stuff... I missed it.  And, with three quarts percolating, plus the big jar going, with one full, and that last one... which was half full but is now empty, I'm... good.  Should work out.  However, the kefir is taking time brewing, for whatever reason.  Dunno, patience will have to do.

I think I will buy not one, but two, extra gas cylinders, for the chairs.  One for changing out immediately, on the old chair.  I liked that chair too, but it... just started failing.  This should fix that up as well.  And, having one around for changing out as needed.  I do suspect a heavy person has been using my chair.  Though, after getting some things arranged, making it more difficult to get in, that has stopped.  Or... doesn't happen as often.  It wasn't me who broke it.

Several things are arriving today, or soon.  My mother is set to receive her Christmas gift.  Early, but it's something she might enjoy as it gets cooler, the other items may go with it.  And, another gift is arriving today, for a local family.  It's a tool, used for in winter, so no reason to hold off presenting it.  They help a lot of people, this might help them help even more, from time to time, for those in special needs.  But, for they themselves.  Who knows what winter will bring, but... I... think we will have a more normal winter this year.  Time will tell.

Next month I have one other set of gifts to go out.  Not sure what to get them.  They never did thank me, for what was sent last year.  But... oh well.  Nobody did, actually.  That... isn't my problem.

And, I got a few things for myself.  Little things, I have been wanting for a long time.  Cordless headsets, for the computer and play station.  I bought two, hoping I can plug them into both systems, and just wear one headset for either.  Then, if that headset dies, have another which will plug and play replace.  If it works, I may buy another one or two, for reserve.  As well, a heated blanket.  It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it does look handsome, and it has some safety features.  Just for those nights when it gets too cold, or my body can't warm.  If I can just warm up, I... can often do well after.  Just a spot of extra heat.  If it works, I may get one for down here, more a throw size.  Even just to set on, rather than have it draped.  And, again, usually I just need a spot of heat, not a lot.

I need to get to the grocery store.  Had hoped to get out last night, but my sleep is too off.  I had other reasons to try to get out last night as well.  I just... couldn't make it.  I will try to push through a little longer today, not sure that will happen though.  It is dark out there.  Doesn't help.  And cold.  I think it was 16, last I looked.  Though it could have dropped a goodly bit, or come up nicely.  Never can quite tell.

Have a great morning.  I'll keep tinkering on the game, after looking around to see if any reports are coming in from sources I am more likely to have more... belief regarding.  Later.  Or goodnight.
