Not too terribly late, at 20:39. Still, keep hoping to be in bed more like between 17:00 and 19:00. Or half after either of those, or in those ranges. Just isn't happening. I'll keep trying.
Cold. The body. Shouldn't be. I have the house quite warm, again. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it just doesn't matter.
I have been hitting the waterpills well. But it's not working. Or... it's odd. I had expected to be peeing often and with greater volume outgoing. It just isn't happening. Still, I'll keep three jugs up there, in case. If it happens, it may require me to empty those through the night. Maybe it's just taking a bit of time to work. Or... there was a lot less fluid in there than I thought? No, the legs were huge. They have almost normalized, but the legs usually fill last, or empty last at least? Everything seems a bit off.
Gaming, again. Starting with a new 'toon. This time I will be careful not to overlook something. Part of the problem, why I made a mistake, was because they changed the way certain things worked. It's bad enough when they change so much that a character type won't work from advice given as little as a few months ago. But when they change who the game plays, in the storylines? That's... Nobody can keep up on everything they are changing. They should be required to keep story elements stagnant. And, really, most of the game shouldn't be allowed to be changed. Even if something is being abused. If it's a pvp problem, let them solve it by not engaging. If it's a pve problem? The devs made the problem, they can eat it.
Everything, in game and in real life, is about finding a ticket that works generally, and then playing it. It's not about reinventing the wheel because someone doesn't like things round. The same with gaming.
I haven't gotten far enough in to get to the point where I am playing the type of 'toon I am aiming to play. Just about to it, but... wanted to level and pick up a few starter things before banging my head on the first portion requiring some work. And, may do just a bit more before going for the main weapon required. Ugh. Always something. There is no easy way around this first part. The trick is to have nothing, or as little as possible, to lose while placing the bet. Then hitting it until/unless it is realized to not quite possible be possible at that point. Then, moving on and coming back when leveled just a bit more. Ugh.
Yeah. Well.
Ribeye, tonight, half of it. Fried in a pan, for a bit. The baked in the oven for just a bit. A bit too long, but just for my absolute preferences. More a medium doneness. It was good though. I'll put the rest up. Oh, I heated corn and peas, but forgot to much on some of that. Will reheat that, then have some of that with butter. Bah. Forgetfulness sucks. :)
Later? No, good night. If... not exactly quite yet. Sleep well, work well, dream well, live well, play hard, die old... unless you are lucky. :p
Oldest son is back here from college, He's somewhat of a health nut, will have to have "conversations".
ReplyDeleteOkay, I overdid it on the red pepper flakes, too spicy to share, I'm sure they'll pout (yep it's starting).
Hazards of co-cohabiting with other adults... someone brought in 8 bottles of wine on the dining room table, one is open next to the coffeemaker. Open bottle is a "45 Trump 47", one glass down, must be my Brat,(son says he doesn't drink I believe him, I was a bad example, maybe that's the good that comes of this addiction of mine). Brat will take 3 days to finish 1 bottle, I would take 1 morning to down 3-5 bottles solidly averaging 4. I have downed a whole box of wine (6.5 bottles) in a day.

Don't think for one second that I didn't weigh the odds of "borrowing" a bottle (and getting away with it). Even if it is not a temptation setup "dick move if it is" one of 8 would be missed, have to be a case or more to steal from.

Yes, talk with your son. You can both gain from it. Especially since you are both on the same boat. Since he has become a man, and is trying to become legit. Now, when you hit loggerhead, only one of you can be correct. But that doesn't mean you can always be certain which one. All I'm suggesting is... do what you believe is right, but don't take yourself too seriously? :)
ReplyDeleteUhm... wine. I love to hate wine. But I do... love to drink it. I'm with you, I can down a lot of wine. The thing is? I get sicker on wine than I do on whisky. Three, four, five bottles of wine will trash me like a texas fifth of vodka AND fifth of Yukon Jack or Johnny Walker blue won't. Even if I tossed in half a case to case of beer. Yeah, when I drank, I... did it up good. Wine would ill me harsh, tequila would get me in bar fights. The rest was... okay... in... my levels of moderation.
Brat? Queen of Darkness? Must be sisters. And, mine, when she wasn't having sex, would make sure her panties were out for to spot. Wine, women, song. Devils, I'm telling you. *grins* I don't... mind. Usually. Gah!
Most "browns" would do me in, there were a few "clears" I could abuse, wine became my "fruit juice", Beer was my water, Mead a treat. My "mellow after meal sipper" was appropriately Norwegian... "Linie Aquavit" potato based liquor flavored with anise and caraway, Barrels are "aged" on the decks of Norwegian merchant ships. The temp. and humidity changes, the stirring motion of the waves, along with each barrel crossing the equator at least twice, is part of the "mystique". and the '"Flavor" touted as a "digestef" (spelling). Could never drink enough to do damage with the Aquavit "water of life", was always one of my only "sippers". They have a decent website. Still have a couple empty bottles (you can track the casks journey at the website with a code on the label.)
ReplyDeleteI do dig maps.
Now I miss the Aquavit.
Could this be a parallel to bitters? asking for a friend. But I kid, I kid... really.
ReplyDeleteIt has been about 5 years since I bought a bottle or two.
The Aquivat sounds absolutely wonderful. I had never heard of it. And, don't know about spelling, though that would depend on the nation of the spelling anyway. French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, and many others, have some sort of apéritifs. I wonder what the Japanese call theirs? Everybody has said, I am almost certain. More a matter of how commonly it is known and used? There is a salami made as said, minus alcohol, if you ever want just a... touch.
ReplyDeleteI do miss the days. Not just drink, but food. Surprised either of us made it. Meh.
Not sure how much I regret. Living a clean life wouldn't mean much if you hadn't known the difference? Then again, there are folk, like the Amish, who live more simply more or less their whole life. Might not know the difference, but... maybe they didn't need to know?
For my part, I am glad to have known. It makes the sacrifice of it the more of a value. It isn't an unknown. For food, wine or spirits, women. I know what I gave up. Still would like to find a woman though, but not just... as a delectable. Or... only as one. :p Ha.
Oh, as to bitters? It would more depend on the alcohol content? Or maybe not. Some of those are pretty stout... the German one, jargameister or some said? Or is that more of a schnapp level? All based on legality, and else, of alcohol content? Tradition? Meh.
ReplyDeleteI had to stop the alcohol based bitters though, they were... getting to me. I... love alcohol way too much.
