Porky, Poky and Peckish

Saturday, December 7, 2019

I enjoy nonsensical post titles.

Stayed up way, way too late last night.  Got into a book.  Didn't sleep until after 3:00, which of course has me completely out of whack today.  Finally got up at 10:30, feeling meh but revived after a shower and some coffee.  I have things to do.

First order of business will be some cooking projects.  I have some bread dough to bake, going to make some ham and beans, and I'll need to get some carnitas in the slow cooker shortly.  If the pork dishes turn out I should have eight or ten freezer meals. ... hope I have room.

Brunch:  2 jumbo CF eggs over medium, Alexia hash browns in butter, 5 strips Kiolbassa thick cut pepper bacon, coffee


Ate about 1:00, maybe a bit after, so it wasn't really breakfast, though it was closer in time to get up than I am usually eating this week.  I also managed to set off the smoke detectors for the first time in the two or three years I've been living here.  Oops.  Had the hash browns on a different burner which was apparently more powerful than the one I usually use.  Second time getting the bacon, this time it was cooked perfectly and I really liked it.  When I went to the store I got a couple other Kiolbassa products to try as well.  Nice to see no funny stuff in the ingredient list.

Dinner:  Ham 'n Bacon 'n Beans, homemade buttermilk wheat bread with lots of butter


I mostly winged it on the beans, other than using the trusty spicy beans time guideline for how long to keep them on the stove.  Turned out delicious.  And the bread, really really good for almost zero effort.

Exercise:  Nope.  I will say that I have been at least a hair more mobile the last couple days.  If I'm rested especially.  I would still be put in a world of hurt by more than one flight of stairs, but any progress is good progress.   Definitely want to do more regular walking hopefully soon.

Now if I could just get consistent rest.  It's odd and unpleasant being unable to sleep well.  Finding a comfortable position is hard.  I get random knee pain from the one that is wrecked.  More than ever before I have to get up after a few hours to hit the restroom.  Bah.
