Sleep is wild.

I woke up around midnight.  No choice.  Stayed up until... four?  I think so.  Then went on back to bed.  The alarms remained set, at eight and ten.  I was sure I'd be able to get back up by eight, or ten certainly.  So left them set.

I didn't wake until two, or three?  Later.  I've been up for a while, but not sure how long.  Burned through both snooze cycles, to no avail obviously.  Crushed by exhaustion, I couldn't rise.  Sassy had to help me.  She tried several times.  She kept at it, ever few hours.  Of course, she was hungry.  but I had fed her through the night.

That doesn't matter, though, if she is used to eating at certain times of the day.  Changing that around is hard on her.  Cats like regularity.  A lot.  Fed first thing.  No, I don't get angry with her.  I'm just glad she doesn't give up, or go passive aggressive or outright aggressive... by clawing, or jumping on me.  Oh... she... has, in the past.  I have taught her not to do that.  She... has learned.

They say cats can't learn.  I promise, they can.  Method, madness, tricks.

Coffee down.  It doesn't seem to matter.  But, it's some calories in.  Oh, and kefir in too.  I'm loving that stuff.  It may take a bit to recover, from the antibiotics, and two rounds of the stuff.  If I think the gut biome is probably still in reasonable shape.  Why?  Still burning fat more than else, various regularities, no bloat even when eating carb laden foods... signs, signs, everywhere.  If... you learn how to look.

I am out of milk, though.  Need to get another gallon, or two?  Maybe just one.  I think I could do that, and start back on the raw whole milk this coming week.  Probably two gallons, then one gallon, staggered, to keep up on the kefir usage and fermentation cycle.  As well, I'll be cutting cream from two quarts to one quart a week, as I'll be drinking less coffee.  Though, every other week, an extra quart, to make sauces and such.

I looked at making my own cream cheese.  It's just heated whole whipping cream, heated, with an addition of lemon juice.  But, it's much more expensive, and not enough cleaner over what I already purchase to make a difference.  Same with homemade butter.

Oh, but I would like to look into crafting, and jarring for storage, my own ghee.  That is excellent for cooking, probably baking too?  I tried to buy that, but at every price level, I found indications that they had added seed oils to poison the ghee, and save some shekels.  A twofer to the modern (American, at least) industrial food/ag/medical industrial complex system.  So... it's either diy or go with tallow, lard, duck fat.  Those more outside the industrialization formats.  Ugh.

Well... I need to figure some things out.  Good afternoon, day, and later.

Hmm?  Oh, lost track, doing something else.  Forgot to post.  Two hours late, it's all good.
