A busier day?

Yes.  Gaming is helping me be awake more often.  As such, mom can ask for things.  I don't always agree to help, if I can't I don't.  And, not always when she wants something done.  "Now" isn't always possible.  A half hour from now?  Allows me to gather myself, finish whatever I am doing, or be in a physical state, or rest from else, in order to help or do.  She is learning patiences pays better than harrassment.  Harrass and I just go back to bed.  Not in anger, in exhaustion.

I grilled a chicken today.  It did come out very well.  I grilled (smoked, and the chicken too, really or rather) a portion of a btisket the other day.  Both came out pretty good.  A smoked meat, with enough for leftovers, twice month?  More often, with the oven ooc.

Ah, about that?  I checked the electrical outlet.  It is two sided.  Should have two 120 volt feeds, delivering 240 volts.  One side is only 90 volts, the other side is dead.  So, at least part of the problem is the fuse.  I don't think the wiring would die.  It's relatively new.  But the double sided fuse is easily a problem.

Waiting on the new panel in order test for any other problems.  I could find a new fuse, but it is for a panel that isn't ul listed, from a defunct company.  So is very expensive.  And with the new panel supposddly on the way?  I just don't want an expensive fix for a short term.

I keep trying.  Gaming really is helping.  For now.

Oh, bp is crazy.  I missed meds for all of yesterday.  The first med time was skipped, because bp was too low.  The last one was missed because I got busy, it got late, then I simply forgot.  I was worried this morning, that bp would be crazy.  It was 134/88 (or so).  Below 140/90, my goals to be under, whatever the number actually were.

So I took one quarter of what I had been taking.  BP dropped to 109/67, or something stupid like that.  So little medicine, such a large effect!  I am going to have to be careful going forward.  While I can't sense high bp, I can really feel low bp.  It's spooky, to me.  I'm going to have to monitor, and simply skip medicine if bp is below my maximums.  If bp drops, I have no way to bring that up.  Spooky.

A new smoker.  One of those electric pellet jobies.  Will have to see how it works.  No pellets, yet.  And it has yet to be assembled.  I told mom I'd do that this weekend.  And, if we get out this week, I'll see about pellets.  This one is supposed to be more accurate, as to setting interior temp.  Will find out.  Will have to try a pork butt, chuck, brisket, and chicken.  Hoping to finally get to pulled pork and beef.  Maybe a turkey, for one or more of the fall/winter holidays.

Ah, over 52k visitors already, so far, this month... just into the 3rd day.  Interesting.  But I'm still not a believer. *chuckles* Well... on to bed.
