Frigid?

.
.
Yes, yes I am.  I checked outdoors.  It's only 22, so not terribly horribly cold.  but it sure feels like it.  Not sure why.  Though there are things which can make the temperature feel colder.  Barometric pressure?  Air moisture levels?  No wind out there, so it isn't that.  But that can definitely play a part, rip the heat right out of a building, body, automobile.  But... cold, baby.  And I really can't be sure why.

Having coffee.  Not drinking it fast, so have had to heat it up once.  Might have to heat it up again.  Though, if I have something else warm to drink, I think I'll do chicken bone broth.  I'll need to salt it, and will add raw cream.  And, of course, heat it... just in the microwave.  I do have small pans clean, finally, now.  But... I... don't want to dirty them.

I haven't found my knee pads.  So I haven't gotten back to the bathroom sink drain.  Gah, but that was a stupid thing.  And!  I still didn't find the part that fell in.  Annoying.  The thing is, the trap is... totally bogus.  It wasn't well done.  It was a complete slap-shop job.  To be fair?  I don't think you CAN do that in a pro way, without tearing out a wall.  Literally.  It's the only way to get behind and in.  Ugh.

It's a pretty sink.  Pillar, up to the massive bowl, ceramic from floor to the top, but with only a very slim access to the central column in the back, about eight inches off the wall.  Very... difficult to maneuver back there.  I dropped one side of the trap into the column.  Thankfully, was able to, just, fetch it out.  Afraid I would get stuck, my hand, down in there.  Or get it twisted.  But... I... got it.

As to the french press?  I haven't given up on that yet.  I will see if one of the hardware stores has a part that might fit.  I need... a button ended, female threaded, length of steel.  Finding the right threading will be half the trick.  Then finding a big or small store which carries it will then be the trick.  Worth the trouble?  Between time, energy, and then cost?  Plus gas?  Probably not.  But, if I get lucky, and hit it at the first store?  Yes.  Sad that things are so disposable.  But the cost... makes it a truth.  Or... more likely.  A few days of running around, looking, hunting, pecking... if it isn't found, then... no choice anyway.  I just hate to waste.  And... I like to fix things.  I just... have limits.  We'll see.

Hmm, yes.  I think I will have some bone broth, fatted, salted, heated.  Yes I will.  Blood sugar came down to 113.  Still, it's frustrating.  Why won't it come down more.  I really have been eating well, right, good, and even little if that is more because food... just doesn't taste great.  Nothing tastes good.  Meh.  Later.
