The steak was still good.

Well, I hope.  After opening, inspecting, touching, sniffing?  It... seemed good.  So I fried it.  No more oven baking, that seems to just get it too done.  I'll either have to skip that, or cut the steaks closer to two inches thick.  An extra half inch, and a shorter oven time?  For now, I'll just pan fry them.  Crusty and raw.

As well, I had keto crackers, with keto peanut butter, and keto strawberry jam.  Will test blood sugar a few hours after a tea... in a bit.  Loving that white tea.  Sweetened this time.  Every other time, though especially when eating higher carbs.  The sweetener concoction reduces blood sugar.  When tested.  And, while everything was carnivore or keto, I may have had too much of the latter.  It just tasted so good!

I need to stay awake.  A call, from the VA, to keep the kidney doctor in the loop.  Was given a time, so I'll... do it.  Could try to nap.  A nap would do, but there is a chance I wouldn't wake, even with the phone dancing and singing.  I do my best, but that... just doesn't always do it.  So... I'll push through, one way or another.

Payments are supposed to go out today.  Cards, bike loan, all of it.  All should be paid off or close enough that I can finish anything remaining sooner or later.  I should, also, be receiving a few dollars myself.  I had only wanted that if it would have arrived on closing.  As is, it is days, almost a week, later.  So... I'll just put it back in.  Along with the check from my mortgage company, and possibly even more from my other account.

Why?  To keep the number low.  They will take out for interest only, automatically.  So, really, they would keep me just paying interest for the first twenty years?  No.  I'll try to keep that as close to zero, without zeroing, as possible.  Which means I won't even do much shopping, after this.  It's... mostly going to be keeping that low, and for food.  Storing some, in cash, as well.  Just because.

I'll be curious what all can be done before I sell the place.  How much better it will be, as well, how little I can owe at that end.  It would be nice to have only ten or twenty thousand to pay off, out of the sales.  Well, and the mortgage itself.  Would like to walk with $300k.  Maybe more, perhaps a lot more?  Will find out.

The only thing else I might spend some of the money on is corrective eye surgery.  Having clearer vision, if possible, before going over seas, would... be very good.  As well, being done with glasses, if at all possible, would be super.  My reading vision requires a closer, rather than further spread.  So... that makes reading, at least in good light, easy.

Just... thinking and posting.  A few songs.  Later.
