Kefir flipped.

It's a bit of a task, but the food is so good.  And, often, as today, I "have" to drink some to make room!  Chef's gifts.  I had to take almost a quart out of the equation, and did!  Gladly.  That stuff is quite good.  Sometimes, like this morning, sweetened.  Probably, later, plain.  And, sometimes, a few times a week, I'll crunch some berries in a mixer or other and add those.  Tasting a bit extra bitter, trying to figure that out.  Still, better bitter than nothing.

Then, I put dishes in.  They are mostly clean, but were set aside for about a week as I tried to... get and keep things open for showers, to keep pushing toward a goal.  Showered yesterday and several times this week.  So, I can put them in and try to get through them today or tomorrow.  Hmm, that'll mean cleaning off the freezertop.  Okay.

As well, I checked on the snow report.  It says we may have gotten five to six inches, and are set to get about an inch an hour, give or take, for four more hours?  Or... something.  So, up to ten inches (forecast, for whatever that means).  I wanted to go back out, but will wait a bit.  My back hurts pretty good.  It almost feels like the kidneys, but... a bit different.  Same area, different sort of pain.  More muscular than organ.  Trust me, I'm... used to various pains.  Though?  Can one ever be sure?  Ah, but the tell is when I bend, they hurt.  When it's kidneys, they hurt fulltime.  So, yeah, back.  But I have been seated or sleeping most of the time for the last two to three weeks.  Fair enough.

They say the windchill makes it feel like 18.  I think they are full of it.  It is a LOT colder out there.  I'm saying closer to zero, F, or colder.  It isn't reading close to it, out there or in here.  But, as an Iowa boy, I... know cold.  And that is cold.  Then again, they are saying there is a pretty heavy wind.  Not sure I am feeling it.  But if it's coming and going, that can strip the warmth down to well below readings.  Not sure if the phenomena last after the wind has gone through, for a bit.  But I think it might.  Ugh.  If we get heavy wind, we will have a whiteout.  No doubt.

Anyway... a few things.  It is 6:17.  I'll give it a few hours, then try to clear that patch I opened earlier.  Gaming, for now.  Later.
