Twenty hundred, and pleasant.

When I woke.  It was 70/71 upstairs, 71/71 down.  A few fans going, but that was it.  It was 54 when I went to bed right at ten.  It is 52 now.  Not sure if it warmed.  But it did rain in the interim.  Coffee, as I wake, and veggies.  Other than the fried chicken dinner, which is playing havoc with blood sugar anyway, my other "cheat" this month was veggies.  A pack of carrots, celery sticks, broccoli, and cauliflower.  I separate the veggies into their own packs, otherwise they would go bad faster, together.  Then, munch on the varied.  I always cook broccoli, rarely pop a fleurette in for a raw chew.  But the others I eat raw, if sometimes, rarely, cooking the cauliflower.  Celery sticks, carrots, and a few cauliflower fleurettes tonight, with coffee.  I'll have a dose of kefir before long.

Trash and recycling, gathered, out, and to the curb.  Hitting the dishes and a shower.  A load of laundry from start to through, while folding the towels which already went through?  That's... the plan.  Plus gaming.  I have figured out a couple of bottle-necks in the game.  So can run until I have to find another difficult to solve, or find, element or puzzle.

Trying to do these games complexly on you own is... difficult.  There aren't good, or easy to find, hints.  And the hints aren't that good, as they hint at so many different things, with only a very small portion of the hint list actually being in game.  Even if you memorized the hint list, you wouldn't necessarily catch it "in the wild".  That's not how it works, real life or game.  So, after days, and moving on to what I can, until there is nothing I can move on to and no new clues?  I look things up.  The only bad thing, as I may have mentioned, is a lot of what is offered out there isn't good data.  Either griefers messing with noobs, or the game has changed, or the helpers aren't good at it?  Still, eventually, I have stumbled through.  And, I have found a way, that in time, I should be able to sort some of  the mess out.  

Building what is needed won't take a day.  Slow, difficult, acquisitions of materials and knowledge, gleaned from trial, error, and (if in game, but still) labor.  All good.  I... like this game.  And there is a game after it.  If it has been gone "woke", I don't know.  I am careful.  A game that gains viewers also draws in venture capital, which at this time will likely cause "woke".  A poison for all things.  And it will kill the brand.

I have one more steak thawed.  It was salted and wrapped, for later.  I have the process down, at least for steaks.  As well, I may smoke the roast and ribs also thawed.  Not for tonight.  Mostly.  Might have a small portion of each.  But for through the week.  Slice and griddle some of the roast, for with eggs.  Portion out the ribs, to be heated in the oven, with a potato or broccoli side.  Life is... good.  Sure, a rib might cost $10 to $15, but that is three to five meals!  I can do that.  Need to figure out a dry rub for it though.  Not needed with the roast, to be honest.  Beef is good on it's own, even the cheaper cuts.  But pork needs help.  It's... a strange meat.

Hmm?  I don't know what else to say.  But... on with things.

Oh... someone reminds me of... someone...

Not... an accusation.  Mostly.

If I suspect this is.  Mostly.  To... From...  Like those little gift tags?
