Hoped.

I had hoped to be out.  To get to town.  Had specific things to do, and had to be out by no later that 16:30.  There... just wasn't any way to make that.  I tried.  I kept an eye on the clock.  I got the shower first thing.  I had coffee in an attempt to push things along.

It wasn't enough.  Awake too late.  Or, too late to make it to town.  It is 70, in here, even right near the computer.  Sort of amazing, really.  I had thought it was probably up to 80 out there, by now.  But upon just checking, it is... down to 72?  So... very strange.  The sun was out, too.  Very odd.  Usually, often, the sun on even partially sunny days will heat the place incredibly.  Nope, not this day.  And so cool, while the sun is even yet up?  Without clouds or other weather formations?  Strange.  Strange days indeed.

Anyway.  The goal is, then, to do some work.  Wear myself out mechanically if possible.  Then sleep as early as possible.  Waking tomorrow, at a time which will allow me to get to town.  Things to do.  Other than mass and a meeting a week, I haven't been able to be out in... two weeks?  Three?  I missed a mass in there.  Yeah.  Tomorrow... tomorrow?  Tomorrow.

Eggs and bacon, later.  Since I can't really fast.  I also need to pull meat out of the freezer?  Hmm, wait.  I should check on those chops.  Probably bad, but I can check.  Still, need more meat out.  Would like to do a roast, but would want to do that on the charcoal grill.  I am out of charcoal.  I use the lump cowboy stuff, and that has been really expensive lately.

Burger, a steak, and... something else, or other.  Might pull out a couple of packages of ground pork, and make another batch of sausage.  That was really good, did well.  Oh, and liver.  I have beef and chicken.  Haven't tried chicken liver, yet.  I am sure I have eaten it before, just not recently.  I haven't cooked it myself.  I wonder how well that would cook on the griddle?  I'll find out.  So much better to cook outdoors.

I plan on working on the drain, today.  Getting a load of laundry through.  And setting up a batch of dishes.  Just enough that I could clean and clear them tonight.  Hmm, I'll only start dishes if I can get the freezertop cleared and cleaned first, with time to finish dishes.  Yeah.  So... maybe just laundry, the drain, and clearing and cleaning the freezertop?  Well, and pulling meat to thaw.  Yes.

On to it.  Oh, A kefir, before I start, and a vinegar tonic.  Might need to reset kefir, too.  Best do that first, as I eat.  And, yes.  I can see that people still visit.  Not all are anyone I personally know, or allow.  The .gov is here, as always.  But, too, .church(es), .mil org, mens group, some from those, and others.  Though, too, definitely a few I know.  If... not necessarily allow.  But it is what it is.  Odd, but I don't care.  Come here at your own peril.
