It's struggling to warm in here.

.

The furnace is up a bit warmer.  The electric heating in here is a touch higher.  I have had a fatted coffee and a tea and chia seed breakfast to help warm me.  Am dressed warmly.  Am using the hand warmers, mostly keeping them in my pockets.  Hmm, though you know?  With my hands warm, and pockets a bit too toasty?  I just put them in my croc's.  With socks on...  Yes, laugh.  I'll take warm and socks over bare and frigid... if it only helps a bit.

Oh, and I almost always wear socks, anymore, for another reason.  When leaving my legs bare, the old wound started coming back.  Got scaly.  Couldn't seem to get that to heal.  Socks... stopped the deterioration, but couldn't fix the problem.  Which is why I used sandpaper on my leg, to remove the scaliness.  Right down to bleeding.

That seems to have helped?  It caused a bit of a problem, for a short bit.  But has improved.  So I have ordered something in an attempt to induce more healing.  And, from time to time, will again remove the scaly skin, then apply the slave.  The wound is, still, mostly, gone.  But it's... just not perfectly healed.  Getting there, or again.  It was gone, for a while.  But going without socks seems to be a bad plan.  Cold air, or just air, causes some sort of problem.

Oh, I keep thinking about tacos, and other things.  So, seeing this "recipe" video?  Makes me think.  At one time I would have completely ignored it.  Flour?  Aye, but I remember there is a flour I had meant to try.  A keto version.  Oh, it's not perfect.  And consumption still has to be limited.  But... it might offer me a more normal life, and something a bit different from time to time.

Oh, her?  She has severe epilepsy.  Ketosis was initially a treatment for that, before there were medications.  And, it still works today, if most people would rather eat like pigs and take medications with extremely, sometimes, severe side effects than just... eat better?  Oh, I get it.  Carnivore is brutal.  Even keto is difficult.  But really?  Okay.  Take the easy way out, then commit suicide when even that gets difficult?  Everything, and many people, including to themselves, are or choose be... disposable?  I am not.

I think I'll just choose to eat better.  And, to that end, there are these vids.

Last I looked it was still 2 below zero (F), outside of course.  Hungry.  But not sure I have anything easily available.  I did have some cheese I purchased at sam's club.  Not sure that was to my taste.  It did use rennet... just... rennet.  Not the pfizer fake rennet.  Still, it just wasn't a good tasting cheese.  A gouda, but not like anything I have eaten of the line before.  I won't buy that from them again.  I have some serious doubts.  I will finish it.  Hate to waste.  Maybe add it to a dish of some sort?  But, yeah, not going to buy it again.  May simply not be aged more than curing time?  Bleh.  Not good.

Hmm... I've got to have something.  And, I'll have another tea.  This time without chia seed.  Not the best food on the planet, but okay, and warming.  Hmm... sardines and keto crackers?  Or potted beef and said?  Both are very keto friendly, even nearer to carnivore than not.  Mostly.

Stay warm, dry, and don't let God see your bad side... at least not without some shame.  And gratitude... even for an allowance you may need to confess.  *devil's grin*  Be well.  Later.

  1. Haven't eaten in over 24 hrs (day off) so far so good, huge glass of milk 12 hrs ago. Will have to see if I can still salvage the last of steak and cabbage. Later. Cooking now.

  2. I am eating... bits... here and there. I want more. Just don't quite have it in me to do the work, go shopping, and else. So, yeah... I get it. Eating three to five hundred calories a day for the last... three?

    Strangely, I am finally warm. I'll even need to turn the heat down. One way, or the other. But... it's all good. I'll live, as happily as possible, until I don't. *grins* I... have started enjoying the game. Even when it hurts. A grace... I think. One some need more than others. Only one will eat more pain. And Him, I am not worthy to tie His sandals. Amen.

    Going on forty years. So... yeah. But... I still have things to do. A wife, kids, moving, after settling accounts. Check.
