13:30, I think.

That is when I went down.  And hard.  I had to push to get to then, but made it as far as I could, and then som.  Up at around 19:00.  Not enough sleep, but my eyes flew open, and I found myself fully awake.  No recourse.  Okay.

I'll finish the stew tonight.  When I shop next, I will pick up a small chuck roast.  But a real one.  Not a hind, or left, or upper, or whatever else they add to it to get you to buy an inferior non-chuck chuck.  They eye will tell, look closely.  Don't let a low price and a false name sway you.  Or, I won't, again.

And, I'll chop that into decent sized near cubes, fry it well, and make stew from that and what else I am using.  I keep looking for whole chickens, but so is everyone else.  They finally realized the parts are far too often nearly rotten to be trusted to be eaten.  Nobody can afford to toss meat, even chicken, at this point.  If I find a  few birds, though, I'll take them.  I may have to start doing store runs, hitting my three mains.  Two mains and a same name, anyway.  They are expensive, given that parts are often sold at $.99.  Whole birds are more like $3 a pound.  Bastard thieves.

Yeah, sleep grumpiness.  Hush it.

Oh, I forgot to add shitake or anchovy powder.  Though, I can't be certain that really added any flavor last time?  I need to try a cup of buttered bone broth, plain first.  Then the next time, add half a teaspoon in.  Of either.  The anchovy powder, I am hoping, will have the pleasantness of miso soup, though, can be titrated.  I don't want it overpowering, until I get used to it.

Then, I can begin in on actual miso.  I will be ordering some of that, for a nice winter warm, nutritious, drink.  As well, it is said to lower bp.  I... don't necessarily believe that.  Salesmen and advertisers are the same, world round.  And doctors will support them, and scientists, for the right price.  Though, at this point, not even sure scientists have to cheat, as incompetent as they are.  They are petty politicians, not men of letters, these days.  Especially the ones with boobs, both male and female.  :p  Oh, that had to hurt.

 Yeah, the morning grumps.  But... honest.  I was asked my greatest flaw, since going straight(er... "er" as I was never went gay).  I told her it was my honesty.  She said honesty wasn't a flaw.  I told her I didn't give a fuck what she thought.  Okay, I think she got it.  Would have gotten some leg out of that, in the bad old days.  Straight er.  :p  Never le minde.

Ordered no fluoridated floss a long, long, long time ago.  It finally arrived.  Tea tree oil, mind, and floss.  Good.  Bought a six pack, like having it... on hand.  Plus, if it's significantly cheaper that way, it's the only way to fly for some things.  And it was two dollars less per pack, or so.  So... yeah.  Six for the price of four.  It's not like floss has a shelflife issue.  Probably.  If I can eat corn, or peas, or such, two years out of date, I can use floss that is a year or two out.  Though, not sure they will make it that long.

I haven't been brushing.  Life has been difficult.  I am not doing well.  Remembering, standing, doing.  Still, I used some floss just now, to taste it.  Very mild.  Not much flavor.  All good either way, as long as it doesn't have fluoride in it.  But, it came as clean as a whistle.  I have picks I use, to keep meat, veggies, else, out of between my teeth.  I am obsessive about it.  So... yeah.  While I can't do some things, sometimes, what I do... helps.  As well, I don't eat sugar, or mostly even carbs.  That... keeps the teeth better.  And I gargle with a salt, baking soda, and iodine mix from time to time.  That does more for mouth health that you'd imagine.

Though, even without brushing for decades, before I came back to life a bit better, then wasn't so busy with school that I could hardly stand, and drinking a six pack of coca-cola a day, for many years, my last cavity was in 1993.  I have been... doing better since... 2016? 2018?  When they started treating the heart, and not acting like it was depression.  That... caused enough of a burden to be lifted that I could do a bit better.  It's just not, and never will be, perfect.  I do what I can, when I can.  And, have learned a few shortcuts, bypasses, methods, and techniques, that... help in my efforts to stay clean(er), healthy(er), and such.

Pick your teeth, lad.  Never let something just sit in there.  My teeth are extremely tight, I still figure it out.  Picks, floss, whatever it takes.  Eat the right foods, so that is less of an issue.  Do what you can.  You need to take care of your body, even if it has failed.  But, more so, if it hasn't.  That is your first duty.  You can't help your wife, your friends, your neighbors, your community, if you don't have health.  Ask me how I know.  Though, to be fair, I didn't choose this, or live wrongly to get this.  So... even so.  I must take care, if just of my body for that is all I can do, and to the level I am able.  Reminds me, I need a shower, and then to get the scab off, and kept open for a few days, then reset.  Life hurts.  Do your best.  Later.
