Just past eleven.

I fed Sassy earlier.  Cleared her litter boxes.  Got the trash and recycling out, but there wasn't much.  Reloaded the trash cans with bags.  Then played games until around eight?  Nine?  Something.

Then I got coffee going.  Finished that.  About an hour later, it seemed time to feed Sassy again.  But I wanted to feed her some steak first.  The last of the sirloin was heated on the griddle.  Perfect.  It was a bigger piece, so seven minutes on each side.  Remember, it is nearly raw.  Most couldn't eat it that rare.  These days, it's the only way I can eat it.

I first let it rest.  Five minutes, with that long on the heat.  I like it cooler.  Then I sliced Sassy's portion, a pretty good little bit, as she is eating more these days.  Probably twelve little half but half inch bits, roughly.  She ate eight or nine of them.  Adding just a touch of salt in there, I can't eat it without a bit of salt myself.  But have to be careful how much salt is added.

Then I ate my portion.  Very good.  It really is quite good food.  The ribeye goes on the griddle next.  And, after it, I may take a few days off from eating.  Then thaw a whole chicken, oven roasting it.  Though I wouldn't mind getting lettuce, or a salad mix.  Though I need to make dressing.  Some sort of ranch... sour cream, cream cheese, and whole raw cream, plus spices.  Garlic and onion powder, dill if it smells like dill, some others.  I hate it when I spend extra for spices that end up having no flavor or scent.  It means they are just as old as most storebought.  Finding good spices these days is difficult.  Organic, higher priced, it just doesn't matter.  And the more that is paid, the less likely it is to be good, strangely.  Still, I'll look through my spices, see what might work.

As well, I'd like to make an oil and vinegar mix.  That's always pretty easy, and rather tasty.  Doesn't go well with meats, in the salad.  But just the salad itself, it works well.  With burger, just spice it like taco meat (not the packaged taco "seasoning", that is just as poison as most commercial foods).  Hot spices, of various levels, maybe garlic and onion powder.  Salt, pepper, and... possibly something... different.

Blood sugar is up to 99, but right after eating.  That's odd.  But it did have a lot of protein.  That can go carb, if the body wants it.  And that... will have some action with diabetes.  Still, 99 is okay, especially after a bigger meal, and coffee.  If I want something warm to drink later, I may have a tea.  But a regular tea, with a scoop of electrolytes.  That's really good.  I thought it might be horrible, but it's not.  Though, too, I would like to begin drinking things plain.  We'll see.

I heard someone pull up, and... sounded like some sort of tinkering.  So, I went to the door, opened up, and spooked the ups guy.  I just said hello.  I was... in a bit of a fuss, wondering who and what.  I just sort of surprised him, more than anything.  But I smiled and said hello, or good morning.  Not meaning to... be... ornery at all.  His disturbed countenance cleared almost immediately, so my initial, possible, scowl either wasn't seen, or was allayed by my greeting and then smile.  I never can tell if they someone sees that look, or if it even shows.  Sometimes I am truly poker faced.  Inscrutable, as they like to say.  Sometimes not.  And I can't always tell which way it is, at a moment.

Hmm... a bit more gaming, then a shower.  Good morning, still, hereabouts anyway.  Though good afternoon to you easterners.  And good day.
