Couldn't make it.

Noon was the goal.  But not today.  And... most likely... for reasonable causes.  Food, that is.  I was starting to feel really rough.  Everything I did was difficult.  The cold water earlier didn't help, but that wasn't all of it.  No, my body needed food.

While you can starve, if in decent health, for days, weeks, even up to a couple of months?  You will suffer.  Even if you have fats, taking that out of storage must not be an easy, or efficient, thing.  Nor does the body really want to do that.  Much as you don't want to go through your house, and get rid of what you aren't using?  I'm thinking the ideas are linked in some way.

I have eaten, in the last five days, twenty four ounces of hamburger, sixteen ounces of steak, and four eggs.  Well, add in a pint of whole raw cream.  The burger is 85%, the steak was new york strip... so leaner.  Cream is cream, and eggs are eggs.  So, not many calories, not a lot of fat, not a lot of protein.  Nausea, and inability to walk or digest, little interest, from the changes, was why.

I am assuming that hunger is a good sign.  This was actual hunger, not just a craving for food.  And, there was pain and exhaustion along with it.  Bones ached, neck and shoulders started to hurt.  And that terrible exhaustion... unique to starvation.

So, I fried the bacon, as I had suggested... in the deep pot.  It worked fairly well.  But it took longer than suggested.  Which was fine.  I don't mind taking the time.  I have two packs of bacon fried.  Took longer, though, too, because it was more than I thought.  First, I used two packs.  Second, they were 1 pound 4 ounces each.  An... odd amount, but okay.

I cut them into thirds. and parted them in the basin.  Then just let them go for five minutes at a time.  Lid on for the first few runs, then off.  Medium high, then down to medium.  I had paper towels ready, in a bigger bowl.  The first batch, and a second batch, were cooked to my preferred (extra crispy) doneness.  Then, I let them cool for five minutes.  Pretty good.

Then a small plate of those, with four boiled eggs.  No extra salt needed for the eggs.  And the bacon was still warm.  Quite good.  I am pleased with that.  As well, now I have bacon should I get a hankering for a snack, as with eggs.  Or just to have a meal when I want.  I'll probably have just a bit more bacon.  It's been a while.

Later?  Chops?  Burgers?  I don't know.  Something.  Just ate at around nine.  But I really needed something in me.

Now, on back to gaming.  Just a bit.  Then rinsing dishes, a bit more gaming, then drying and laundry, then more gaming?  Dunno.  Working on sorting things.  Will try to get a bit more done today.  Oh, but food was so very good.  I didn't even eat all that much, and am full to the gills.  I needed it.  Later.
