After six, down. Nearing seven? Or so. Not awake until.. 13:00? 15:00? I... can't be sure, remember. Slept a bit rough. Figured out, after forcing myself awake to find the problem. Cold. Bitter cold. It dropped, snapped, chilled hard, from more reasonable weather lately. Cold, hard, fast. So I... got the electric blanket on, and going. That didn't really work. I had to layer it under the duvet.
But, with that done, even blind with exhaustion, in the dark, I... was able to sink back to sleep and get some fine rest through the rest of the night. It wasn't the cold, it was the cold snap. That sudden hit of bitter cold. It was 54, which isn't terrible, up there. But, it has been 60~61, mostly, up there, for the last few weeks. So that sudden change is what caught me out. Well, maybe on top of working a lot lately, and pulling a double shift yesterday, for no good reason.
The next thing I know, Sassy was meowing for food. I didn't wake that first time, but the next time I was able to wake and get going. Feeding her right away. I give her pets and minor scratching, while she eats. Like it or not, she stays focused on the food. A girl after my own heart. I'll get her litter changed out shortly, then change her water too.
I'll have some or the rest of the steak. It wasn't good. I don't think I'll buy steak at sam's club anymore. It... doesn't taste good. Mexican? Brazilian? It's... something is off about it. I don't think it's just my taste buds. When it's fresh, it was okay. But after a bit in the freezer... Oh... double or triple frozen, thawed. That... might be it. Won't buy from them from now on. As a fact, I think I am going to cancel them. They don't have much else I like, and their same cat litter is five to seven more per pack. So.... yeah.
Overcast, again, today. Between that and the cold, waking was a major task. Getting going is difficult. I have the main set to 72, which is keeping even this front room around ~72 (rounded up). Okay.
Now, maybe, to some gaming? Eating steak first? A shower before too awfully long? If I get the shower, then setting up the last of (or very nearly) the dishes... to soak and be put in the dishwasher with a few new things later. I received an ice machine. But then the r.o. system went down. Then I got that fixed. But... the things I... got... Well, let us just say I have been chasing my tail on this project for a while.
Now, I have the ice containers and scoops for the freezer, the ice machine nearly ready to figure out how to power, and the r.o. system running again. It is all ready for me to start keeping two ice containers full, or... in some state of fullness. I... love ice. Will even make iced coffee a bit more often, and iced tea. Plus, just plain iced water, or vinegar and/or electrolyte tonics.... with carbonated or r.o. water. I... like sips, of various sorts, iced doubles the utility by adding a sort of variety.
No reason not to attempt to enjoy your life, even if you are still busy dying at a murder pace? I'm good... with what comes, and goes.
On the good side, I didn't have women molesting my mind in my sleep. The first night of some peace from the feminine, for a while. Oh... I didn't mind them troubling me. Didn't even cause my heart exhaustion. Just... I'm trying to be chaste, until... the right time. Even just in my mind, as well as I am able. That's a lot of work, especially when the mares don't know, or care, and whinny at my mind and manhood with abandon. Damn but they can trot it out. *shakes head* *looks sideways* *coughs* *grins* *sideways grin*
Anyway... heating up the steak, getting the coffee poured and fatted. And... something or other. Will try to get to bed earlier tonight. Will see. Later.
Steak talk got me motivated, pulled two chicken breasts out, heating one..... may add a veggie.
ReplyDeleteWhat I REALLY want is one of those damn blueberry muffins, now I have to stay out of the kitchen.
Checked and added red and black pepper, looks like too much red, we'll see... still cooking. The muffins mock me.
When things like that are around, I can actually smell them. I always fail. Which is why I don't keep those things around anymore. I can smell chocolate, in stores, for heavens sake. Something is wrong with me.
ReplyDeleteI may, as mentioned, have to see if I can find bone in, skin on, chicken breasts. See if those are better than the thighs and drumsticks. For a quick meal. Foil, oven at 385 (higher altitude, or 415), thirty if starting out cold, twenty to begin checking it's temp otherwise. Then open it to crisp the top skin a bit. Hmm. Yeah. Later.
Wanted Tomato, heated split pea (turned my stomach, though I normally love it) dumped... sipping peppery cream of mushroom. working for now.
ReplyDeleteOh, that reminds me. I think I did find cream of mushroom that was keto compliant. Not... perfect, none is. But... good enough. Heating that, adding cream, maybe butter. But... what else? That would be good with fried burger.
ReplyDeleteI know. Mood, health, else, just pelts us into submission. Sometimes I just can't eat. Today might be one of those days. This isn't fasting, it is like you, only not able to find anything I can take in. Gah.
See, you "idea'd" me of taco-soup and sardines, I need to get. Eggs too, I need to boil. Thanks. Steak and burger.
ReplyDeleteOh the store package of red meat in the fridge turned out to be 3 beautifully marbled ribeyes... The package disappeared when the boy went back, so figured it was for him (glad I didn't get into it). When I pulled the chicken breasts out yesterday, there was the store styrofoam&plastic package frozen stiff in the deep freeze. I'm gonna commandeer that package, they shouldn't be treated like that.
