Up!

Can't be sure when I went to bed.  I think it was around 16:00.  With the last post being around 15:30, or so, it's possible.  I was cooked, from this and that, when going to bed.  It was a longer day yesterday.  More going on that I have done in weeks, even months seemingly, combined.

A success.  All good.  I didn't get it all, but I got a good lot of things.  Dishes, first thing this morning.  Well, trimming my whiskers before even that.  And a shower after, then setting up the dishes to a rinse.  Oh, from the meal yesterday, I need to clean the freezertop off again.  Bleh.  But, fine.

I may have some ribs and beans first thing.  I cut the ribs into thirds, which means about four dollars per meal, just in meat.  I... can do that.  Especially since I only eat, say, four to six times a week, or less.  Kefir, currently, costs sixteen to twenty four a week, but I'll be cutting down on that.  And, usually, a quart of cream, or $9 a week.  But, lately, I have been drinking more... double that.  Let me see, $18 for cream, $24 for kefir (cutting both of those, so minus $17 next week and on)... but...

So, forty two dollars a week in dairy, and say $40 in meats maximum.  But, $25 in dairy going forward.  So, about $65 a week, maximum for groceries?  Eating carnivore?  Give or take.  Probably less, I can't always eat a whole steak.  Though sometimes I finish the other half later in the day, about as often as I have it the next day.  No sauces, few veggies, little fruit as a rarity.  Carnivore isn't as expensive as I thought, with dairy being a third to half the cost?  Okay.

I need to find the recipe for sausage, grab the supplies for that the next time I am in town.  Make some of that.  A treble batch, I suppose, refreezing much of it, but in patty forms.  Using parchment paper to stack it.  So I don't have to thaw it all to get some.  Orange zest, or such, and fennel.  Plus some others.  Though every batch, to my mind, should be a little different.  Say sage this time, thyme next, or even whole other spice runs.  Oh, but I have tried dried zests.  Those... don't work, at all.  Fresh, only, or go without.  I've tried it in various cooked and just wet recipes.  No good.  I'll look for the recipe.

Yes, today, dishes, laundry, a trim, shave, and shower?  And, maybe, setting up the clothing hanging rack, and isolation hanging chambers.  And, as I do laundry, begin separating good, gooder, and house wares.  And, possibly, be on the lookout for what really needs to be replaced.  This isn't really a bachelor thing.  But, without a woman, so be it.  Even my feminist woman took care of my wardrobe, from washing to replacing.  I'm sure she sometimes used my money, sometimes her own.  I... didn't bother asking, telling, or such.  If she wanted money, I often just gave her some.  If I had it, if it wasn't too much.  Didn't really ask why.  

Why, yes, I... trusted her.  Not to do as I would do, per se, but to do what needed doing.  She was... good at things, in spite of her not wanting to be, or not believing it.  Yes, I trusted her more than I trusted myself, on certain things.  But would have disagreed, so didn't ask?  Right!  You think being a neurotic female sucks, being a bull headed male has problems.  Gotta always be right, but can't be?  Ugh.

Well... on with the day.  Oh, it's right at 50 outdoors.  Just around 70 to 73 at various places in the home.  I turned the fan on, here by the computer, just for fresh air.  But that can stop.  Sunday?  Okay.  I'll add prayers.  Would love to get to church, don't think it's possible.  Will be lucky to do the things I have listed.  But, some of those are in order to get back to church more confidently... when that is possible.

Get to church if you can.  Say prayers otherwise.  It's what I try to do.  As well, I... ponder things divine... forgiveness, virtues, God's will, His plans... personally and generally.  One or more of those topics, and others.  Good to consider sin, and why it might be named such.  What it really means, in function, action, and in my life.  Oh, and to plan fasting, again.  I'll try to get back to that a bit more often.  It's... a special gift for God, one I think He greatly appreciates... especially from one who loves food dearly.  And knows how to make flavor profiles of a seriously pleasing nature.  Yes, get to church, or pray if that isn't possible.  Good morning, day.
