Still hungry, so...

.

.

I have a head of cabbage, a pound of very thinly cut top sirloin, broccoli, cauliflower, and mushrooms.  I decided to make a sort of stew.  Steaming the things, rather than boiling them, though.  Will I make it into a stew?  Probably not.  The cabbage takes the longest, so it is going.  I'll add the harder but smaller veggies next, mushrooms to follow after five minutes.  Then, five minutes from then, it should be done.  Meat?  I think I'll add it with the hard veggies.  No... with the mushrooms.  Very thin.

Should make a superior meal, slathered in butter, with sour cream on the side?  Okay.  Salt, pepper, no other spices or herbs tonight.  Should do well.  And, yes, there will be leftovers.  Enough for tomorrow and the next day.  If, too, I will have another meat... I thawed a t-bone.  I'll fry that, and have a third of it as well, tomorrow.

All good?  Will find out.

Oh, did try the sardines, in water.  I didn't care for that all that much.  Though, to be fair, I've had sardines, tuna, and anchovies a bit too often.  I don't know about you, but I can get a bit stressed eating too much... odd food, too often.  Then again, ribeye, t-bone, top sirloin, and chicken can get very old, very quickly, too.  Actually, food, of any sorts, can get... tiring.  Which is why I fast for days, even weeks, now, at a time.  Well, that and it's... very good for prayer.  Somehow I can hear God much more clearly when fasting.  Not that He literally talks to me, but virtues and bible passages, and such, become much clearer.

I had hoped to be fasting this week, or next.  Not sure I can.  That hunger is just crazy.  It's the weather, my health to a degree, the season as the sun is just not up that early, or for that long.  The body is supposed to try to pack on some weight in the fall and winter.  It... knows what it should do.  My job is to... manage that, negotiate with it.  Keeping it more carnivore helps, but even that is just slightly blunting that starvation type hunger mode.  I must be part bear too.  :)

Gaming is going well.  Nearing where I can... push through, a bit, more on my own.  It gets annoying, following a guide.  Even if I have played the game three or four times.  But, I have a reason for doing so.  And, it is paying off.  If, as with anything, doing it by the book is annoying.

It's just hitting twenty hundred.  So, there is time to play a bit more, then eat, and maybe get to begin writing the minutes up.  Or start.  We'll see.  It might move more quickly than anticipated... or not?  Will find out.

Oh, and my tending the wound?  I do think I will work on removing, then letting the scab grow back, as often as weekly, to every other week, depending on how things are going.  That is really helping, giving it a break for, say, a week or two, then getting the scab off through lighter dressings, keeping it off with the really good dressings and wound bed filler.  Then relaxing and backing off.  Cleaning off any scab that remains, as I do the various dressings, fillers, ointments, and showering.  But... the wound is finally sorting out.  It is much, much, smaller.

The wounds on the hand, arm, and knee, did well being bandaged all of the time, other than when changing.  The ankle, though, just... won't work that way.  But, at least I learned how to dress it well, what tools work, which dressings for when, and have really gotten on my game with that.  I think this wound, too, after a year and a half, may finally be nearing closing.

I'll tell you though, after this?  I'll be much more careful.  And I will handle the wound much more quickly, should another occur.  And I have a method.  Though, I think part of the problem, with this wound, is that it came to be during a time when I had really bad diabetes, uncontrolled really.  Something... just changed, or altered, the site, the wound, because of being created during diabetic problems.

I am hoping that, now that I have managed diabetes, and naturally to boot, that I won't have issues with healing.  No guarantee.  Some damage may be permanent.  We'll see.  But I... think so.  I have some faith.

On to putting the mushrooms and meat in.  Later.
