It looks to be working.

I let it go about three hours.  And the drain pipes are holding, dry as a whistle.  Hmm... my whistles are wet though?  That's... not the point.

A spot of coffee, finally.  Gaming as I was trying to wake.  I must figure some things out.  Work, at getting things right.  Dig in, do some more work around the cave.  And, I think I can.  Maybe not through this week, until next week.  But, Christmas is fast upon me, so that's okay.

I'd love to get to church.  But that would require... clothing, showering, a haircut, and... things.  I... can't get out.  Not... quite yet.  I need to try to get these things arranged.  But... not this time.  And, maybe no more?  I always have hope.  But, if that doesn't work, faith will do.  And charity.  I love even my enemies, if too I will kill them if required.  Amen.

So... I don't know.  I have meat thawed today.  I am hoping to get chicken roasted, see how that turns out.  Odd, how chicken is such a cheap food, and yet... really isn't.  In some countries, chicken are too precious for eggs, and too expensive as general meat, to be considered.  Even here, meats of all sorts have become... terribly expensive.  Even pork is running four to six a pound.  As a general rule, I need about a pound a day.  When... I can eat.  It almost doesn't matter if it is meat, veggies, or else.  If too, that is at about weight loss food baggage.  I lose weight at that.

The good side about carnivore is I waste much less food.  Well, assuming I can eat.  Though, even then.  I'd just waste meat AND veggies AND fruits AND whatnot, so even if I can't eat, and pull to have meat thawed in order to possibly eat, I only waste just that.  So... yes... even so.  Still, I'd really... like to figure out how to eat better, more.  One thing I have found?  Adding room temp butter, to meats, is the better way to go.  If I cook with it, it tastes... too greasy.  And as a hot fat, it really isn't as good.  The only fats I really have to fry, are the fats on the trim of a steak.  Those... have to be fried.  Though, too, I let steak sit for five.  So that fat, while having been fried, isn't hot.  Something, I think she was right, about hot fat, makes it worse for consumption... at least if meat is all one eats.

Keto, the carnivore part of it, is quite difficult.  So much fat.  It isn't as much as it seems, by volume?  Remember, carbs and proteins are four calories per gram, while fats are nine.  So, you can eat two grams of either of those others for the single gram calorie, and then some.  Now, subtracting carbs, and going to seventy percent fat on a medium keto/carnivore diet... that means  for 2k calories a day, 1,400 would be of fat, 600 of protein... 1,400/9 = ~156 grams of fat, while 600/4 = 150 grams of proteins?  Well, that means you are eating, by volume, pert near equal parts fat and protein, if definitely not equal actual counts?  Something like that.  How... clever.  

Hmm... I... used to hear "pert near", and thought it meant pretty near, like close as in horseshoes and hand grenades?  Sort of.  Then looked it up.  There is a Spanish word that is pert near pert near, but not quite.  But that wasn't it, thankfully.  Strange how languages work, or don't?  *grins*

I really do have to figure some things out.  Food is primary.  If that doesn't work, there will be greater problems.  I won't get to any other solutions, if I can't eat correctly.  Brutal.  Later.
