Mother called this morning. Cloudy, here. Looked like it would rain. She said it would get better. I was pretty sure it wouldn't. She was right. For a while. As it stands, it's been storming something fierce for the last two to three hours? Raining, heavy rain. Thundering. But... it... did clear up. For a while, earlier on.
A call from one of my many doctors. A change was needed. He had to clear up his afternoon for hospital visits. Yes, okay. Look, I don't have a schedule. I can afford to be flexible, especially with three weeks out. I've been taking pretty good care of appointments.
I missed one, and we changed another because there was some confusion about bloodwork needed, when, and such. Still, I've probably made fifteen appointments, mostly on time, some of them rather regular, others totally one off irregulars. Well, and figuring out where some of them were was a complication more than once. Even so, I did well.
Hungry. But I doubt if I will eat. I had planned to cook eggs and corned beef hash again. Though, this time, only half a can. Four eggs with that does well. I have canned bread, as well. Canned bread? A... prepper type food. Not the best for keto/carnivore. But I'm not fully back to that yet. It stores well. Well beyond expiration date. So I sniff it before toasting it in the oven. It's been good so far. Bake it, butter it, and cha-ching. It's a pumpernickel or some sort of exotic dark such and so bread. I have three or four cans of it a year. Usually with breakfast. Though I eat the canned loaf, slowly, over several days.
However, every time it sounds like it is slowing down, rainwise, out there, it... redoubles, starts up heavier, and... so... there I sit. Surprised to see this much rain in an afternoon, this late in the year. Not completely unheard of, just not a June regular? Some years, yes. Though... it's been three hours. Monsoon season is a bit off? Who can tell anymore. I don't think weather is allowed to be normal anymore.
Though, if they are messing with weather, it has nothing to do with flyover country. Not even big Ag has any say about that. Not sure who is getting priority, or why. But it's not us. Any irregularity we have is just a side effect for the elites trying to get it to rain where they make the most money through longs or shorts on the markets or commodities. It's... as a friend for my part has been saying... all fake, and gay, all the time, these days.
I may have some fatted coffee though. That wouldn't be bad. I had milked tea earlier. Bleh. Hmm... slowing again. If it doesn't start pouring, again, perhaps I'll be able to get some breakfast before too long. Bleh! Jinxed that whole thing. Later.
12 hours no food, handfull of vitamins, at work puking... I think I do, but I don't get it. Appetite and digestive system doing great... then this... Co-workers told me to go home, we'll see. I have food but can't eat.
ReplyDeleteHeck, could be old fashioned food poisoning... I don't know.
It could be. If you don't have other difficulties, say a fever, chills, headache, the shakes? I'd not go with food poisoning. Plus, for me, it sounds like your body is just getting the poison out from your body using your own fat. Which... is part of why I still get nausea even when I don't eat, or just consume fatted coffees.
ReplyDeleteYou'll know if it continues for a longer duration. Food poisoning bouts, for me, only last a day to three. Whereas if it it burning your own toxic candle, it'll last until you've lost the fat that contains the bad stuff. If you are like me, though, that is probably most of it.
As to being unable to eat. We are in the same boat on that. I have burger, beans, this, that, the other. And I just can't take another bite. Not terribly nauseas, just a bit of that, and... a strange resistive... disinterest in eating. And it is getting late.
I'm hoping to do eggs and corned beef hash tomorrow. Rain delayed eating, then it just got too late. But I'm not sure I ever would have gotten around to cooking. That... nausea is just annoying.
Oh. But good on vitamins. Might take electrolytes if you think on it. But if your body doesn't thirst for them, after trying them, I wouldn't push. I take a dose sometimes twice a day, when feel needed. But, if I take a dose and just bleh, I might skip a day or four.
Lost the comment I made from work couple hrs ago. Stuck it out, feel much better. No hot clammy sweat or chills with this 'bout. Still haven't eaten though I have roast beef sandwich right here (dogs will get the bread, weird soft pretzel roll) "a strange resistive... disinterest in eating" to quote you. I am hungry; beef, bit o' lettuce, and some cheese, not feeling it, will force. Oooooo... horseradish!, I'm on it.
ReplyDeleteAte half, with my nosehair intact (good horseradish). Begging Husky behind me licking his chops, He got a little taste of "bread", will have to wait 'till his sister shows up for her taste, to be fair.
After a bite I feel night and day difference from 8hrs ago.
Don't skip meals and try to use pills and water to fill up on.
I have started growing my own horseradish. Haven't dug and replanted the root, yet. Might this year. I hear it is a bear to process, like onions only much harsher. Might find out.
ReplyDeleteAs to skipping meals? I just... don't have what it takes, quite yet, to cook or process the food needed to get a meal in. I don't have a lot of choice. And, it is starting to warm up.
I am a bit limited. But when weather heats or cools quickly, I... go down. Until it stabilizes, and I get the furnace or air conditioners set up and stabilize the inside. Ugh. Summer is coming.
Between ill health, age, and weather, I'm... often just stuck. I'll... see what I can arrange this week. I have to get out, so may do some shopping. Perhaps buy three or four burritos, then some other things for easy food, plus attempt to do more cooking. Eggs, steak, corned beef hash, or else out on the propane griddle. Ugh. Will try. Just... nothing until then.
I could do fast food, I just won't. The burritos sound like fast food, but I can tell by my b.m.'s that they aren't like McDonalds or even Wendy's. Too much info, but... it's not greasy back there after the burritos, as it is with "regular" fast food. Why? I can't say. I suspect the chains are adding sugar right into the food. Just... dumping it into the buns, meat, and sauces.
Family legend has it that when my Dad's uncle would can THE best horseradish in the county?... His wife & kids would go visit relatives until the house was clear of fumes. From stories, he was a hard ol' coot. Stuff was wonderfully hot,pungent,and toxic. "we shall never see it's like again..." Last quart Mason jar of it I had ran out about 24 years ago, I can still taste it.
ReplyDeleteUhm... yum! What he had, on top of knowledge, skills, and balls? Was an old root. It starts when you put the thing in the ground, after getting it from someone else. Then, each year it gets a bit stronger.
ReplyDeleteMany folk only tolerate it out to, say, twenty years? So, you have a few options. Grow more hair on your chest, or try. Man, woman, child... you'll need it. Next? Every, say, five years? Transplant a new root or three, or whatever you plan to harvest. That way you can be sitting on more mature plants, constantly.
I haven't done this yet. My roots have been in the ground for... five to ten years, so won't be too potent. Hmm... would be a good time to put split the roots, harvest some, and put a new few parts of the root in new (and the old) place(s).
Thanks for the reminder. Being a solo gig, I can do this on my own. Sassy doesn't seem to be bothered by that, at least not the carolina reaper I used in my hotter dishes. Almost burns me out, but not her. Not sure about horse radish though.
