Sunday?

I am lost, people.  While I am doing better, health wise, if only compared to recent depths, I am completely lost.  I haven't known, or otherwise been able, to track what day it is for a while.  Oh, for a bit, I figure it out, remember.  But even before the day is done, I... forget.  Lose track.  As if, for the most part, it matters.

It is 85 outside, 74 indoors, downstairs.  I am trying something different.  Keeping everything closed, but the front door.  Though with a sheet blocking the front and back areas, and a fan going, on high, toward the door, in the front room.  Currently it is 74 front and back.  Yesterday, about this time, it was 74 in the back area, 77 up front, give or take.  Trying different things.  Though, the upstairs still has the ac going.

Still haven't taken the shower.  Hoping to get whiskers at least trimmed, with the electric trimmer, too.  A shave?  If so, later.  I can't stand for very long.  Will need the shower bench today, in order to finish without getting wobbly.

I finally ordered walnuts, hazlenuts, and pecans.  I didn't think these were great.  Economical.  And... good enough.  But, for a while, they weren't available.  So I tried other brands, from high falootin' to store brands, organic to supposedly otherwise top bench.  They were all awful.  Some were worse, awful and expensive!

These were back in stock, so I grabbed some.  Not a lot, just... some.  Though, if I can't find them in the future, I'll just wait.  Who'd have thought that an economic, if widely known and available, brand would be the best by far?  I baked some up earlier.  Seven minutes, at 350, will do it.

Why bake them?  It does something with their natural oils.  Hazlenuts are not my favorite, even baked.  But it does improve both their flavor and their nutritional value.  While also, I think, reducing their natural disincentives to being eaten?  Something like that.  As well, they add just a touch of a crunch.  So, improves texture.  Having a handful currently, with vinegar tonic.

Life isn't fancy.  Lots of difficulties.  But, there are little joys, here and there.  And I find them.  When I can't find them, I make them.  Oh, hazlenuts are at least as good as macadamian nuts.  Not as tasty.  They really aren't very good tasting.  But, they are a quarter the price.  I can't afford macadamian nuts.  It's like the ribeye of the nut world, to my eyes.  Would love to have them, from time to time, but their price has gone sky-high, and started mostly out of my range.  Oh well.

On to something, or other.  A bit more gaming.  Then a shower.  Best get medicine down, that seems to be helping.  Hmm... Uhrm?  I don't know... I suppoe so.
