Still pretty chilly.

Even so, I finished the shoveling.  I had most of the snow out of that area, but, being so deep, it really needed a second attempt to clear.  Which it go.  And, I then scooped a path to the front walk, and cleared that.  The wind has died to an occasional breeze, a stoppage, then a short sustained gust.  But... it's still cold.

Just getting to coffee now.  Tasty, and warm.  Though I do worry if they are adding sugar or flavorings to the coffee.  I'll have to call in to the company and check.  Not sure they will be honest though.  It seems like the government is worried people will stop eating and drinking bad things, so have started pushing companies into adding ingredients, without having to identify them?  Seriously, I think they are poisoning food any way they think they can.  Sugar isn't just an addiction, it's a poison.  At least, as much as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and such are.

Caffeine is next on my list.  I have quit it before.  It's not as difficult as the others.  Though I am not sure I can give it up.  Sometimes I need it.  Just because something is addictive, doesn't mean it isn't needed.  There are times when heavy pain killers really are warranted.  Same with caffeine, perhaps.  For those of us closer to death... living on that edge.  It comes down to prognosis, diagnosis, longevity, difference in health between with and without, and some other things.  It's... only a consideration.

Basically, if I can figure out how to get back to exercise... and keep to it.  And, then, do that without caffeine?  Then I'll give it up.  Swimming.  If I can do that two to four times a week, I'll... quit or attempt to quit caffeine.  Yes, it's... sort of back on the menu.  If not... immediately, it's... being lined onto the calendar, in a month or two.  We'll see.

Hmm, burger and gravy.  I'm going to eat earlier.  And, then, maybe not the rest of the day.  If required, perhaps yogurt later.  That was pleasant, and didn't bother blood sugar... probably.  But, trying to eat earlier, and a bit more, then go without the rest of the day.  Trying different tricks in order to sort things.  Dunno, will try.
