Ugh.

Not everything hoped or planned.  Four things, pieces of business.  Plus bird seed in the feeder.  That was easy.  Most of the business that was completed was easy.  But two of the tasks took quite some time and multiple operators to fix.  However, as far as I can go, everything I started, from my end, was completed to my ability.  Two things are now in other people's hands.

I had planned to wake earlier, to get mom to the workforce center.  She has to, again, again, try to get medicaid in Utah.  They keep trying to deny her by playing ignorant.  Basically the denial game private health insurance uses.  Same game, public instead of private.  Though in Utah there is more to it.  Out-of-staters are third class cutizens.  If in-staters (save the favored) are second class.

I just couldn't wake until about 11:00.  Tried.  Woke a time or two.  Couldn't crawl out of bed.  Slept well... warmly.  Those things simply didn't matter.  Had hoped to be out, for mom's needs as well as to do some shopping.  A few things she needs, and some things for something I am planning.

Finally looking to make a few quart mason jars of sauerkraut.  If I get the technique down, I am hoping to ferment pickles, from farmer market cucumbers.  Well, and maybe a few other fermented veggies and mixes, in time.

Kefir is doing well.  Well enough that I can start collecting pure liquid whey, apart from mom's "cottage cheese" and my drinkable kefir.  A substance which supercharges fermenting processes.

My first sauerkraut attempts will be the very simple in one quart, and fennel seed and carrots added to the second.  Oh, I need to get another corned beef going.  This time using a chuck roast instead of the flat off a brisket.  Enjoying these food experiments.  Oh... will start a sourdough starter tomorrow.  As early as I can get up.  Then as early, after that, going forward, as possible.

On to something.  Later.
