Late to bed.

Late out of it.  Just could not get to sleep.  One of those nights.  It was just after two when I finally went down.  I reset the alarms from six and eight to eight and ten, waking before the ten alarm by half an hour.  I hit the eight alarm snooze twice but realized that... wasn't ever going to happen so shut it off for the next run.  

As alarms go, this is a good one.  It starts by flashing it's light, which isn't always on.  Then it starts off with a low and slow alarm.  Then, through it's alarm cycle, it gets up to it's max, which isn't too high but good enough.  If I am going to wake, that's all I need.  Plus, it has six snoozes.  It also has 24 hour time option.  Those are wanted/needed features.  It has moon phase, local temp, and an "outside" temp sender (though I'm not sure where that is).

I have been looking for a replacement.  I could do without an extra, or even local, thermometer read, and the moon phases.  But the rest is desired.  Oh, and it is battery driven, with receivers for the atomic clock.  Those, two, are highly desired.  It means I can take it with, when traveling, without any fuss.

They pretty much just make trash.  I can't find anything like it.  The batteries usually last two to four years, as well.  I doubt if they much such a thing these days.  Just... plastic trash.  It's plastic two, but it has served admirably for... twenty, thirty? years?  I have had it so long that there is dust on the inside of the front panel, making visibility a bit sketchy.  I... keep looking.  It won't even be expensive, if I can find it.  Oh, and it has a back light I turn on by hitting the snooze button.  I absolutely HATE having lights on at night, of any sort.  I want it dark, for a hundred reasons if one.

Coffee!  And food is warming.  Into the oven, meatloaf and mashed potatoes.  No, not... the healthiest.  However, with the body fat adapted still for the most part?  I still can do just one meal a day.  If I need something later, I have a fatted coffee.  Blood sugar is spiking.  But that'll get fixed when I can get propane, begin back toward carnivore.

The thing is, I am surprised I can eat this, and still, mostly, abstain.  When last I was eating carbs, I couldn't keep the volume down.  I would become terribly hungry, time after time.  A few hours after eating, I would be hungry again.  That just isn't happening this time.  And, I feel no... excitement... about eating it.  It's... just... food.  So I can easily go without.

I could even fast, but I am purposefully eating, to aid healing.  No other reason.  And I can't tolerate even whole fat raw milk.  I just... didn't like it.  Didn't feel bad?  Bloated, a bit?  No, not even bloat.  Just... nothing.  And I knew it wasn't good for me.  Didn't seem to aid with healing as I had hoped.  So... no more.

But kefir was started a few days ago.  I have been checking it.  Oh, I love the smell of kefir in the morning!  Damn, I am drooling just remembering, from moments ago.  It should be ready to pour off, reset, tomorrow.  The first batches take time, and it is cooler.  Even when poured off, I'll give them time for a long second ferment in the fridge.

I figured, all said, I should have samples for use by the end of the week.  Fermented, second fermented, mixed a bit.  For me?  Kefir is more of an art.  It doesn't just take time on the counter, it takes time in the fridge.  With batches being cross mixed and blended.  It evens the drink out, smooths it, soothes it, from a wild biochemical experimental burn into a refined haute cuisine edible of a finer nature.  Take your time, it's not a race to the end.

I am so... ready for that.  And, it will help reduce blood sugar by helping the gut flora, and fauna?  Fauna?  Whatever.  It feeds, helps create the right kind, and subdues and destroys the wrong kind.  I wouldn't have believed the tripe for the gullible, save that... I ate it for food reasons and found out the truth of things.  It's not magic, but... it... really is.  That and carnivore and I'll be back right as rain pretty fast.  Toss in exercise?  I... might... surprise me.  Like my father, you'll never see me coming.  Unlike my father, it simply won't matter.  I'm not here to destroy.  Or... destroy you?  Probably.  :)

Well... on with my day.  A shower in a bit?  Dishes and laundry?  The freezertop?  Yes.  Mother.  :p  Have a great morning and day.  I'll say a quick prayer for us.  Trust me, we need it.  Good day.

Oh, f me running, that looks familiar?
