Bits of cheese and kefir.

Well, and a couple of fatted coffees.  That was food yesterday.  Okay, as went.  A little shy.  I just... couldn't do much to alter the facts.  But, I don't want to repeat.  Meat was set to thaw, and it is.  A bit surprised that the beef roast thawed completely too.  Very strange, usually the bigger roasts take two days.  Heck, it is only even 68 in this front room, so it's not warmer inside, out, or else.  All good though.  Thing is, to get to cooking it all.  I am shy a pound of ground burger, which I put out as I woke and was feeding Sassy.  The rest will go in the fridge, until it is cooked.

Kefir isn't ready, though, strangely.  Not... sure what is going with that.  But it has usually been fermenting in right at a day, sometimes two thirds of a day.  Not today.  Fine.  I will filter the other kefirs around, to get chunks all into one container.  I don't mind them, since I know what they are.  But those aren't my favorite.  Not that I know, for sure, but it has the consistency of a snotter.  I doubt if the taste is the same.  Still, it's... an odd thing to eat, even knowing it's fine to do so.  No facial cave diving, public or private, needed for the indecency of it.

I keep checking the kefir grains in the fridge.  That jar still hasn't kefir'ed.  It's working on it, very slowly.  I think I may only need to turn that out once a month?  Seriously?  I think so.  I only add two tablespoons of kefir to a pretty full jar of milk.  Those grains are on vacation, in Greenland.  :p  Beachside.

I'll have a hot tea, first thing.  Not cold, don't want to get cold.  Keep a step ahead of it.  Slept rather warm, very nice.  I'll avoid anything with calories, fats, carbs, or protein, until later.  Trying to enhance my intermittent fasting again.  I lose track, come back to it, it's how it goes.

Oh, received a package I thought they wrote yesterday to tell me wouldn't be in for a while?  Very odd how that works.  Though, I think the message said it wouldn't be in until the 15th or 16th.  But... why... write me on that package, not others which were more delayed.  Very strange things happening at amazon.  But... as they sort things out, it will happen.  I am sure, if they are more fully automating, things will... happen.  It's hard to be on corporate side, or labor's side.  The two seem to deserve each other.  I do get that.  Still, for many of the workers, that is as good as they will ever get for work.  You can't have no education, be a part time doper, part time worker (or seasonal), and expect to earn as if you put in the educational time.  Even if you have a degree, but just "got it", without any practicum or real ability?  That or working coffee joints, or coops stores.  And those simply won't pay what you consider a living wage.

Corporations are there to make money.  I would guess amazon is on the losing side of things.  Chinese crap just isn't selling when the buyers have been crushed, are being fired in hordes, and production has slowed and has instant, huge, stopages at any moment.  Not their fault, though how much did they push the vaxx, covid restrictions (for others, of course), and else?  Played their part, most likely.

It is what it is.  I don't even wish a pox upon both their houses, they already have on in each other.  I just notice and leave it at that.  Won't terribly fault amazon, it has been useful, if it has to be watched like a hawk for price gouging.  Like any retailer, mind you.  Just another tool in my arsenal  of product procurements.  Hazards with all of them, and good sides.  Price is but one consideration.

Hmm?  Oh.  Just... babbling as I wake.  Dreams, but they have vaporized as I wake.  Normal dreams of a hound, chasing "rabbits", dealing with other dogs, knowing my limits, finding a warm place near the cooling stove, licking my wounds, and such.  Well, it is what it is.  Good... morning, evening, night, and day?  I suppose.
