Done, but... not.

I got in.  First the the bigger town.  Propane.  Two tanks filled.  Wasn't sure one was still good enough, but it was.  Just a bit cranky.  The vet at the shop set it right and filled it without batting an eye.  Now why didn't I think of that?  Because propane makes me nervous.  Two filled, and bought another.  But didn't fill it, not this month.  I expected the fills to cost nearly what I paid total.  Which is why I pushed and bought the extra tank.  Hoping for another this coming, or the month after.

Then I went to my bank, deposited the cash I had... maneuvered from a friend... not cost to either of us.  I just paid bills of his that he was going to pay in cash.  So, I got the cash, if just to put against a card I had paid early.  Anyway, that was put in.  Was hoping cash would show up immediately, in my account.  And it did.  So, when I finished some things upon returning home, I signed in... after checking the account had cleared the deposit... then paid the bill.  Or... what is currently due, and some.

Though, when I got home, I about had a stroke.  The bill seemed really high.  Had been quoted at $9.99 a pound, they charged me $16.15 a pound.  Not... good.  They overcharged a $100, a few bills, and change!  I called.  Not much to do tonight, but they will correct it.  If not, they get the meat back.  Don't care about rules.  I can't afford that much more.  About had a stroke when I realized the problem.

So, I get to go out again tomorrow.  Hopefully earlier.  I just couldn't push out until I warmed, showered, and... that took a while.

Still, if it works, I have plenty of meat.  Meat I like, and can eat.  One package of steak a week, which is three or four months worth.

Before I had figured things out, I had opened one of the packages.  I had eggs, corned beef hash, and one of the two steaks in the package.  Thin cut means they are about half a pound per.  Perfect.  I really can't eat all that much, but pushed it tonight.  I will have to practice getting the grill going.  Though, it was windy and cool out.  So getting the griddle hot, and keeping the temp up, was difficult.  Good enough.  And, it was delicious.  Now, when I can stumble over to the kitchen, a vinegar and water.

Oh, and then to bed.  It is almost 18:00.  I have done well.  But I do need to finish the tonic and crawl up and into bed.  Ugh.
