After Ken left last night I made a miso soup with pork that was really good. My basic recipe is to take to each of the instant miso and veggies packets from one of those big packages of instant miso that's like "20 Servings!" and put that in a bowl, add a little of my own wakame, last night some onions because those go well with pork, and then I take some fresh miso and add that also. That just stir-fry the pork that took a few minutes to thaw, put that on top of it all, add hot water, and mix.
I had to move all those boxes out of the office so I could spread out my sleeping stuff but I just shunted them to a temporary location so make it easy on myself and I'm glad I did because I have a plan - Ken thinks it's only 2, maybe 3, types of project boxes so I'll inventory them, list them, then find someplace for them to sit while they wait to sell - hopefully they sell fast.
I probably had about 350ml of sake at beddy-bye time and went to bed at 2, waking up around 7. It was better sleep than I'd been having and possibly in spite of that much sake rather than because of it. So today I'll have none during the day and 200ml at bedtime.
I took my temperature after putting my bedding away and it was 98.1 so that's a bit more normal.
Breakfast was a couple mugs of Earl Grey tea and a small handful of almonds and some natto. I tried a new one, that has a little picture of a smiling Daruma. It's pretty good. I could happily switch between this brand and the one in the orange package with a big drawing of a bean on it. But there are a few others to try yet.
The thing is, I need to become the kind of person who will be an asset to Hawaii. What if I have to skedaddle in a year or two, rather than the planned 4 years?
I got out of here at 10 with the packages and did my drop-offs, and scouted my regular places to find packing materials without much luck except I got 16 of these little battery boxes that are great for first-class packages.
After I got back here I cooked up some scrambled eggs with shallot and shishito peppers and ate and took it easy (it was now 11:30) until about 1, to avoid the lunch rush, then went to Lowe's where, amazingly, they had Windex in gallon jugs again. Their Windex had been wiped out the last time I'd been there. And it was the regular price of $10 too. So I got that, then went over to H Mart and got some groceries and came back here.
I saw the usual lunch truck out in front of the complex so I put the bike and stuff away and walked out and got some chicken wings from the lady for $3, and came back and ate those, and some arare I'd gotten at H Mart, then felt tired and like I ought to try taking a nap. I wasn't really able to sleep but sort of half-slept at best, until 7.
