Saturday Selfishness

Late start, did some lounging and general avoidance of the world which was aided by Youtube. When I felt that I’d exhausted the contents of the platform I slowly emerged from my nest to make some comfort food for the first meal of the day. It was mid-morning so anything was in play at this point. I chose a foodstuff that is as versatile as the timing of the meal and cooked up a whole mess of perogies. The Big T wouldn’t have approved of me doing it on a Saturday but he’s not here. When I’d eaten my fill and stored the rest I filled up my thermos and a big insulated mug with water and journeyed down into the basement, into my lair. I fired up Farming Simulator 19 (FS19) and got to work. I wasn’t alone today, I was accompanied by the third of three books of the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington. It is such a well woven tale. It wasn’t well received and I can see why the “experts” would be upset, it’s meant to be read as a complete trilogy, not a standalone. Either way.FS19 is going well. I’m working the same four fields and trying to swell my bank account after some purchases. Got the seed drill I wanted. Got a bigger tractor, a Case Maxxum with 409 HP. Which enabled me to get a larger cultivator. Next up should be a bigger combine. I should go mid-range and scale up but I’ll probably go big right away. That was about the size of it for the entire day. Later in the afternoon I warmed up the last chicken chunk from the previous night and wrapped it up with spinach and dijon and some radish chunks. I supplemented that little snack wrap with a Stouffer’s Bistro Crustini Mozzerella and Meatball panini box. That and a lot of water was all I consumed on the day. Other than a major swath of my audiobook and a lot of hours on FS19. Oh, I did take this photo for y’all, just to show you how my meal planning is progressing. The ‘X’ means I didn’t have that meal on the prescribed day, actually didn’t have it at all. So week two didn’t really go that well. I think for it to work I need to make the board then go shopping and have the jam in the evening to follow through. I’m generally too tired mentally to bother at this point. I’ll have to push through that I guess. Is that what people say?
