 Friday, September  30

In bed around 10:30, up at 5:00, 3 pss, 2 glasses of red.

More troubling evidence of 'executive function' cognitive decline.  Made what should have been, and probably is,  a delicious (and expensive) beef broth last night for a sweet-sour cabbage borscht.  Costly beef shanks, onions, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and peppercorns, simmered for 4 hours.  At 10 p.m., discarded the vegetables, removed the shank bones, saving the meat, and put the broth through two strainers in the sink to remove gunky stuff.  Only problem: I forgot to put another pot or bowl under the strainers to receive the strained broth.  Realized my terrible blunder before all the broth went down the drain, but only salvaged 2 or 3 cups of premium broth.  I'll end up buying some beef broth or stock or bouillon to try to salvage the soup.  A lot went into that broth and most of it I put down the drain.  Very troubling.

The brain not working last night, and other parts not working today: plumbing, and back.problems.

Wasted day.
