GN nostr. I didn't have any caffeine today. No coffee, no tea. It wasn't planned, I was just going ti have my one coffee later, between 10a and noon. 12:30 rolled around, hadn't had it, decided not to. Same plan for tomorrow and rest of this week. 2-hour coffee window, if I miss it, oh well. I should just quit, but I've got a little over a dozen pods left. Never been good at tossing things out like that. Still need to get better control of dairy.

Buenas noches, notramigos! Figuring it out. Later coffee today was okay, but as much later as I wanted to. Tried to eat less steaks, but ended up eating cream cheese instead.

Good night, Nostr. I'll.be.back.to play.again tmrw, promise! Kk,bye.

Today's adventure took me to Coldwater Lake. Mount St. Helens. Ride around and find out.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times... ... Then bitcoin found me.

Made it through my weekly store run without poisoning myself. Leaving the first store, where I am more likely to buy a sweet treat, I felt my stomach knot up, so clearly the mental withdrawal was initiating a physio reaction. Still, putting a lot of my focus and publicised effort into not poisoning myself definitely feels like it is helping. This isn't about publicising a goal. This is just flat out accountability and focus. I also bought 15.5 lbs of meat (all roasts) for an average price of $5.29/lb. It is now all cut into steaks. Those may or may not all get eaten this week. I expect not, as I think I've been eating a little too much lately. I'm playing around a little bit with the caffeine as well. I waited until a couple hours after I woke up to have my one coffee. I've just been sipping at it occasionally. I drink it room temp anyway, so it not being hot is no issue. 2 hours after making it, I just finished it while making this note. There's probably something to breaking the habit of having it first thing after waking up. I think that will make it much easier to fully give up. I'll be trying that this week, if I don't just stop it altogether. #carnivore #coffeechain #diarystr

Gn nostr Only one pod of coffee this morning. No poison today. Tomorrow (Sundays) is usually my hard day, because I go to the store. We'll see how it goes, but I'm bringing new levels of awareness and accountability to this struggle, so I have hope.

Why does iodized salt have dextrose in it? #asknostr

Planning to go shake a rancher's hand, in an hour or so.

GN. Didn't poison, blahblahblah. Failing another metric rn, gotta go.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the anti-virology argument. What I'm not getting is if there are not organisms that can infect a host and reproduce to create other organisms that can be passed from one host to another, in such a way that an organism, once passed in a way that permits it, can infect another host - then how do we explain a pattern of symptoms that appear to temporally coincide among individuals in close proximity? Maybe individual reactions to environmental stimuli - like we all smelled the same fart, just some smelled it later than others?

GN nostr. This is probably repetitive, but I didn't poison myself with sugars today. I did finish the last of the cold brew. I did stick to no more than two k-pods of coffee. The goal right now is to just have one pod of coffee in the AM, no more caffeine throughout the day, except for maybe iced tea (unsweetened of course) if I'm dining out, or a gas station coffee occasionally. I had gotten to this level of caffeine avoidance before I quit smoking. It's been over a month, time to get back there again. To tell you where I was at before, easily 8+ kpods (in 12 oz pours) throughout the day, plus whatever other caffeine I could find. Yes, I could still sleep at night, but no way was that good for me. I think I'd like to no longer have a daily caffeine event, but still would like to enjoy an espresso occasionally. Not sure if that is reality, though. It definitely isn't with nicotine. Probably not with heroin either. So, we'll see. Right now it is more important for me to focus on keeping the sugar poisoning to an absolute minimum while staying off nicotine. And that is happening. One damn day at a time.

ok #asknostr - how long does it take for the moon to be fully above the horizon? moonrise is when it first appears on the horizon, as I understand it, but I want to know how long after moonrise the entire moon (whatever portion of it may be visible or not) is above the horizon. #grownostr

GN. I didn't poison myself with sugar today. I drank more cold brew coffee than I should, and ate more cheese than I should. I bought some iodized sea salt from WalMart. I looked at the label more closely today, one if its ingredients is dextrose. What the actual fuck? Why are they adding sugar to salt? Fuck this world, seriously. Outraged. I should just rage quit everything NOW! Into the bin with that nonsense. But also, why does my mother-in-law (who lives under my roof) just leave most of a crumb cake with some magic cookies in the space where there wasn't crumb cake sitting out in the kitchen where I have to see it and walk by it every time I want to get a drink? Maybe I'll go buy some meth and just cut out a nice line and put it on the bathroom counter, in case anyone wants to dig up histories of poisoning one's self. For fuck's sake. I threw that crumb cake in the bin too, after the rest of the people in this house had eaten everything in the middle of the pan except for the crumbs and the edges. They got their poison for the day. I can't stop 'em, and I won't join 'em. Shit is still rough, maybe less rough than yesterday, maybe the same and I'm one more day used to it. Apparently the wisdom of the day is patience, so I will let it blow by. Whatever happens probably would happen anyway. I might get a peek at a big harvest moon shortly; not entirely sure if was full tonight or last night, but either way, should be pretty big if the clouds cooperate. Cheers nostr. 🌕🎉
