Thursday. Reality hits for lots of people - but I'm sure there are still lots of people taking the entire week off as well.

For me, the reality of Cheniere wasn't as bad as the shock of just having had walked out to the kitchen, opening the door and finding that all the meat had been cleaned out and thrown in the trash.  Some of it needed to go, yes, but some of it was still quite good, edible and was planning on taking  some with me on this trip as there is literally nothing down there - where Cheniere is - to buy.  If you happen to get stuck down there overnight and you take nothing with you to eat? You are going to starve, plain and simple.  If there is a cafeteria at the facility, I have no idea where it is or if they would allow "outsiders" in there to buy something to eat.

My smoked rib roast - trashed : ( !!

Oh well.  I found some Omaha steaks in the freezer - they're small so they cook easily even if frozen.  Those are about done. Found some cream cheese and sliced some onions to go with the steak.  Take some Atkins shakes and I will at least have something to eat.  Yes, I cheated - a little - yesterday for New Year's. But the cheating is over now.  I won't cheat again for quite a while. 

Well, I'm going to pull out a large chunk of meat from the freezer, put it in the freezer and hopefully get home in time tomorrow to cook something for road trips.  Really, I guess I should have put some of that now-trashed meat into plastic bags and frozen it.  Just have to remember that for the future. I was going to do it, but I've been ill and thinking about driving,, much less plans for driving, haven't exactly been at the top of my priority list.  When I went to bed last night, about 30 minutes later, the coughing and hacking kicked in.  For a good hour. I had taken a Mucinex before going to bed so I thought that would deal with it.

It did not.  Instead, I dragged myself out of bed, went into the bathroom, turned the hot water on and stood in there breathing in the steam for quite a while, which eventually dislodged whatever in my lungs and I was able to go back to sleep.

And, of course, it's raining as the weather app predicted.  And will be raining down there. And supposed to deliver this stuff tonight, regardless of weather : ( 

Whatever. I always take extra clothing, I'll just have to get out of that facility tonight, strip down and change out.  And warm up. And hope no worse ill effect.

Ugggg, and the rotting food put on the counter after emptying out the refrigerator : (  Why do that? I cleaned most of it up, but, it's time to leave.
