I hit the dishes first thing. I'll put some in the dishwasher, though there aren't enough to do a load. Brushed my teeth. Thought about feeding Sassy, but it's too early. Or is it? She has lost some weight, more active I think. So, I don't mind feeding her. Just... don't want to start overfeeding her.
What else today, tonight? Not a lot. I must admit, I need a bit of a down time. But if I can continue to work, I will. Clearing the kitchen table would be good. Cleaning the countertops and kitchen sinks would be good. Gathering all the empty boxes, wherever. Mostly just upstairs, some in the living room? No, those are full... need to set up storage areas though. For the extra tp, mattresses, and such. Tearing down boxes. And, maybe, just maybe, beginning in on ironing some of my dress short and long sleeve more casual, or dress casual, shirts. The good ones are dry cleaned. The standards, tshirts and daily drivers, don't get, or need, that attention. Sheets and pillow cases? I... don't think so. I'd love that, but won't put in the time on that.
I need another blanket upstairs. I don't want to use the electric blanket anymore. Last night was both a bit too hot and a bit cool? I'd kick off the blankets, only to need them back on later. But ended up too cool most of the night. Frustrating. Even so, a clean bed is a wonderful place to be, even with other problems.
Once I get the cast sorted... and I am close... I'll get a shower, too. I love those things. Long, hot, soapy, clean. Like a child all over again. Almost do the Snoopy dance when I finish as I am drying off. With a "cleannn!" vocalization, to no one in particular.
Blood sugar is 132. The highest average, now, the ninety day, is 138. the rest are lower, with the weekly and biweekly being also 132. Down from the 140s on up. It's... moving back into place. A fatted coffee, and more keto tacos. The stuff... seems to work.
What else today? I may begin doing selected loads of laundry. Filling specific niches of my wardrobe wants, but kept to the number of hangers I have. It's all been washed relatively recently. But it is all wrinkled, and probably slightly dusty. Oh, and the extra parts, for the rack without a cover, showed up. So I'll add that to the one rack which didn't have it. There should be another rack around, but I can't seem to find it. May have to order another, or two? Just... one more, for now.
Sounds like a lot. But I'm hanging tshirts to jeans, shirts you'd expect, and all. They aren't as long as they sound, and my clothes are bulky. Oh, and I want to go through my coats and jackets, getting those washed and on the racks... because those are covered. I wonder if they have manly scented sachets...
A quick look at what manly scents might include found this page. I think, from the few I reviewed so far, this might be a good starting point. No alcohol smells, no tobacco. A little too close to a rough past. Has it been five or closer to ten years, since I used tobacco? Five years since I drank? Give or take? Not terribly tempted, but don't want to push it.
Could sort how to make my own scent bundles, with things I have. Sandalwood, black pepper, and lavender? Would they mix? I have some forms of this or that, that have those scents, at least. Though not sure what will mix with what, well. May look around for commercial options, or how to experiment with getting those odors from natural products. What mixes well with what? Just... trying to get ahead of the game, as I blunder forward.
Well, and talking with whatever medical I can reach on the phone or such. Setting things up as able.
Will see. Maybe more, maybe less, maybe different. Today, I am not as worried. I need a bit of a more restful day, possibly through the week. But I can do little things. Starts, finishes, bits between. Can't finish everything in a day, start everything at once, or more than do a few things toward something, for this reason or that, at a time. Rules? Physics, reality, engineering, limits. Like having ten guns but only one, or possibly two, trigger fingers that can be used, at one time. A thousand albums and only one set of ears. Limits.
Hmm... on to getting coffee and tacos going. Will start with the tacos... that'll take the longest. Though can get the water heating. Reset it to heating each time I check on the 'chili' concoction. Does that need more burger? I have more, fried it all, bagged the majority. After the chili-tacos, I'm going to use the rest of the burger for spicy keto italian... or rice. Hmm... I have mashed palm heart arriving soon, a mashed potato substitute. If it arrives in time, I'll try it with that, make a bit of a gravy too? That'd be nice.
Well... enough for plans. Need to turn the heat up a bit too. Later.
Cedar, Sandalwood, and Lilac flowers from back home.
ReplyDeleteYuck burger with pickles, don't even think the dogs will eat it, maybe I'll wash it off for them and go with the other half ribeye (like I should have).
She has been going to the office all week (first time since the "lockdown") Dogs were out of sorts, but they have been "joining"me if just for treats. Last night... Gosh I cant even stand the smell of the "food?"... "yukburger", well Balto just scarfed 1/4 of it to start. More power to him.
As I started, last night when I got up and ready, dogs had already gone to bed, had a 1/2 hr to kill so sat on the couch, pulled a blanket up and shut my eyes. After a bit I feel something heavy land in my lap "daphuq?" Sasha is standing there head in my lap staring at me... scratches... almost a minute later Balto shows up for "his" scratches too. They've never both done that before. Then this morning, they were both in the entryway when I opened the door (not normal)...? Then they (we) started our "pack" howls and yips, (me doing what I imagine as a timber wolf, probably sounds like a dumb human). They did the excited run up and down the stairs a few times and disappeared. Fine, they joined me when I heated the burger, (I just pulled the pickles out and doled it out to them). Gone through the doggie door just as fast, stuff going on outside that they think needs attention.
Off to read your newer posts.
Hey, any opinion on "cauliflower" based rice/ potatoes? I remember trying some of the "potatoes" years ago.
Oh, I think I would like cauliflower potatoes. It's just that they... take a bit. Not really, when I think about it. Steaming (if that does take a while with cauliflower) (or boiling), then mashing.
ReplyDeleteThough, since I buy veggie packs, which include those (raw), I should give them a go. I have a ricer, too... a hand squisher that can rice potatoes even. Yeah, I... may have to just do that.
Oh, I know they won't be exact potatoes, but I'll bet they have the texture. And, with butter, salt, and pepper... are probably pretty good. I've just been too lazy and a bit chicken. Thankfully, I think KFC has a size limit. :)
