I heard the five, turned it right off. With the seven I wrestled. For a while. Three or four snoozes, then it too was turned off. I started waking, but my eyes just couldn't see, or my mind couldn't take in what my eyes were seeing? Something, :07. I wrestled, for less than a minute. Then pulled the curtains to see, but that didn't help. So, I used the light on my watch, back in the shadows and... 8:07?
Up, pretty much right away. Then down to get the machine started, and tea going. Mint, this time, with white tea. Blood sugar is 162. Pizza, then breakfast out. Oh well. Part of my problems is I don't like food. Not even pizza, or breakfast platters. But... with it made, it is easier to eat. Just... some difficulties with food.
Got eggs today, but no cream. My source has started supplying a stored, but their supplies are tight, until they can catch up. That just happens. That they are supplying a commercial source is... a good thing. In the long run. It means they are more likely to stay in business more securely. Lose access to a few quarts this week, gain access to cream more into the future. Not a choice, just... a consideration.
Eggs... I am going to figure out how to cook those. The nice thing about cooking eggs is they can be cooked indoors without a mess. Fried, boiled, etc. These are cutting edge fresh, so I may hold one dozen for boiling in a week? See if that will do. The rest will be gobbled shortly.
And, I remembered to have cash. So as to pay for this and that up front, in advance. I'm doing better. It takes time to figure out life, when so near to death. But I am doing it. Even to calling my mother, and speaking with her a bit. Now to see if I can do that a few times a month. Though, she has to answer for the calls to go through.
I am excited to begin getting quotes on electrical upgrade and other work. Should have been done long ago, but... yeah. And, getting the en suite back to function. I like that little pocket bathroom. I like it better than the big one. I like having a tub, in that one. But so rarely use it. And, there is no counter space in the big bathroom, oddly. Ugh.
Today? If I can do much, it will be setting up dishes to soak. Figuring out laundry, this way or that. Possibly beginning to get things ready to go into the dumpster. Will see what is possible to get done. Perhaps getting a steak cooked, and figuring out how to roast the chicken. Hmm, yes. While the steak doesn't sound all that good, the chicken does. Strange.
Well, on more to waking. Later.
Roast chicken, haven't done that in...years. We have an electric rotisserie grill that does a bang up job on whole birds and roasts, but now days it's almost too much food to prepare at once. Back home we'd get whole birds with all the "edible parts" inside, from a Hutterite colony... Big chickens... never got any eggs from them, strange.
ReplyDelete0807 , now, that number holds special significance to those of us who served as Nukes on CVN-70, (in my time), it was sort of a graffiti tag/ rebellious number, that had the meaning of "This place sucks!" Alot of events were logged as happening at 0807, or for the subtle, 2007. You'd find it painted beneath deckplates, scribbled on out of the way bulkheads etc. Also became a greeting or farewell by saying "807 Baby!"
Always interesting to hear the stories, the rest of the story. We have to have our outlets. I tell people that, serving in the military is, essentially, the new slave labor. Pays about as well, too. Especially for the time and effort put in.
ReplyDeleteA rotisserie? I ought to see if that might be possible. Look for a device. As that would be fantastic, really. As it being too much? If you break it down, right away, for me it feeds me for nearly a week.
Beside the hanks of meat, say a thigh and drumstick, maybe a wing too... or half the breast, there is the carcass and bits from here or there to make into soup.
If I am hungry for chicken, like now, a whole chicken does well. I like to eat one to three a month. Haven't had one in too long. Rotisserie, eh? I'll... go looking.
Ours is a Ronco, not sure what series (older) came with all the "accessories". Might have to dig it out clean it up and fire it up. "Set it and forget it" was the catchphrase, set time (and temp?) it'll stop when done.
