The next steps.

Chops and burger out, thawing.  Oh, I'll get a chicken out too.  Yes, that works well.  Whole chicken, as parts are rancid far too often.  Whole chickens seem to be good almost every time?  I can't remember one not being good.  If... buying good is a requirement.

A steak is out, as the griddle warms.  Can't put the steak on until both the griddle is warm enough, and the packaging will come off.  It'll get there.  Hungry.  I... am more than ready to eat.  I'll wait for two hours after the meal to check blood sugar.

While at those things, I washed the freezertop.  It was easier than anticipated.  Clearing it, again, after having sorted another counter in order to handle the microwave was more of a trick than... anticipated.  Again, again, with the microwave.  But I could only just do so much.  Had to sit then.  Did well this time, better.  But... Keep running out of energy.

Ah, and the steak?  Thick cut.  Will have to see how long it takes.  And, hoping that the fat doesn't taste rancid.  It is a new york strip.  The fat cap on those, when I thaw them, taste rancid.  But the two I have cooked straight from frozen have been delicious!  Sure, had to add more salt directly while eating.  But... worth the effort and that little exchange.

Still foggy out there.  Thought I'd check, and pull some chicken?  Yes.  It is 38 out there, at least above freezing.  Chicken is out, that may be my Thanksgiving meal.  I'd like else, but... no.  Especially not when I am almost to ketosis.  No, I'll stick with just meat.  Fowl is as close as I'll get to... other.

As well, I pulled bone broth.  I'll let that thaw, and start drinking that from time to time.  I need... what that can give.  I need a lot of it.  I'll need to make more of that as time goes on.  Beef, chicken, lamb?  Depends on what bones I have and can purchase inexpensively.  Pork trotters?  Haven't seen them in while.  Chicken legs?  Only one place I have seen those.  Ugh.  I'll... get to it.

Hoping food helps me regain strength.  Either way, I will keep at it today.  After the meal, and letting that settle, I'll get a shower.  Then set dishes back up.  Try to get through those.  Get to the post office.  Maybe finish dishes yet today?  Perhaps start a load of laundry?  Maybe get a couple of baskets of clean laundry upstairs?  Some things, I hope.

Crashing.  Definitely hoping food will help.  May only be able to eat half of the steak though?  Will find out.  Aches and pains returning.  I could take my afternoon pills now, adding painpills.  Yes.  Starting to ache again.  All good, though.  This time it is from actual work.  Weak-sauce work, but given my state, it's... a lot of work for the condition.  My body isn't eating, hasn't been in spite of me giving it food, for... nearly a week.  So, yes, almost any effort will hurt.

Soon, I am hoping.  Soon my body will begin using the fat.  Feeding the cells.  Beginning to function more normally?  Vision is improving.  Pains are less, even when I work past them.  Getting there.  Another week?  Two?  Seven?  It... may take a while, longer than I thought.  Or... It'll snap right in place, shortly.  I can feeling the body trying to... make it happen.  Later.
