Doing well.

.
.
Not as fast as I had hoped.  But I did get one load of laundry through, with the wools hanging to dry.  Another load started.  With no drying, being that the wools are air drying, just waiting on the wash.  As well, reset dishes, putting what the machine could handle into the machine.  Far from a full load, so I'll wait.

Kefir was reset.  I'm at the point where I can back off production.  For the next few days, since I went ahead with three quarts fermenting at once, I'll drink kefir with some abandon.  Two or three mugs a day.  As the third one is going down, I am feeling rather warm, from the inside out?  I was beginning to wonder if the kefir is what is elevating, or holding, blood sugar.  So I checked it, right in the middle of feeling too warm.  Nope, blood sugar is down to 109.  While not superior, after my meal, two kefirs, and a fatted coffee, and what it has been running, it's... better.  And, really?  At 109, after my main, probably only, meal, that's not bad at all.  When a doctor tells you that medicine is required?  Get an honest, wise, or smart doctor.  For many people, who won't or can't change?  Okay.  But... the medicine will kill you.  On a different trajectory.  Faster?  If it takes out your kidneys and liver, or other things?  Who can really say for certain.

But, yes, eating better, rightly, really makes a world of difference.  But it will take a bit of trial and error, mistakes, failings, and keeping at it, to get there.  But, yes, it is very doable.  Good to know kefir is just fine with my diet.  Sometimes I worried.  But, then, I was sweetening it.  And I may yet.  My new sweetening mix actually helps with blood sugar, the old one, even if "keto" didn't work that way.  As a fact, if I have another, which I may, I will add my sweeteners, then test after a few hours.

Time to turn the blankets.  Out on the line.  Then check the washing machine.  Just washing things that can be folded.  Takes more effort, but less effort than both hanging, but figuring out where to put up the extra new rack(s)... which would mean clearing more space, plus putting them up... so a day, half a day, of work.  So... fold it is, for now.

As to boxes?  I am hoping to get to those yet today.  Will see.  Don't think I'll get beyond washing the last of the dishes to be hand finished, and the load to dry... possibly one more.  And folding one or both of those loads.  Though I have started sorting clothes, for future loads.  I'll do a bit more of that.  Ugh, but that is fussy work.  The clothes to be hung are being sorted, then sorted by synthetics and natural fibers (more or less, cotton/poly is considered cotton, all poly is synth).  Then separating by a few other ways, if wanted/needed.  Or was that it?  Fabric, color (whites and not, really, is as far as I go with that), and whether hanging or folding (for now, don't always do that... don't ever do that, typically).

Something else to eat?  I do have boiled eggs remaining, sardines, and pickled pork hocks.  Plus more kefir, a bit later.  I may see about setting up the griddle tomorrow.  Getting the new tank on, lighting her up to clean her off, and seasoning her after overwintering.  If that goes smoothly, I may cook a few eggs and corned beef hash.  Or the steak I have thawing.  It's a Sunday, but for me that requires cooking.  It... just does.  Some cook in advance, I don't have that much extra.  So it goes.

Burned out.  But doing okay.  A few days back into work, then tomorrow mostly off.  Maybe a few fiddlies, like putting the cotter type pins into the racks.  Perhaps finishing the kitchen tabletop, clearing and cleaning.  My dishes, today, pretty much caught me up for the week on those.  But a few edges around the kitchen could use a light cleaning, maybe clearing.  Still trying to figure out a place for everything, and what to keep and what to toss.

I hate tossing a cup and saucer set, but... I ended up drinking my coffee differently.  And tea.  And, people just don't use coffee cups and saucers, mostly, around here.  Though anywhere, anymore?  The world is just different.  Oh well.  Bone china, nice, not top shelf, but good "old school" cafĂ© quality.  Before everything went plastic.

Well... on to check on a few things.  Perhaps wash those dishes.  See about the laundry washing.  Then more gaming as things finish up.  Boxes an hour after I sit for a break.  Oh, best feed Sassy again.  And check her litter boxes.  Later.
