Did I make a "biscuit" out of only butter and eggs. Yes, yes I did. Was it delicious. Yes, yes it was.

I'm on day 6 of a planned 7 day fast. I've kept strictly to water, electrolytes, and coffee. There are a number of physical benefits from fasting but the one item I don't often see mentioned is the ability to say "no. Especially to yourself. It seems that if you can turn down food, in the face of hunger, even with the amazing scents of meals being prepared around you, you can turn down pretty much anything else. It feels like self-control has gone through the roof. Is this just because I'm in the "clarity and focus" portion of the fast? I don't know. I probably wouldn't have said this in days 1 to 3. But right now, at this moment, I feel like I have more self-control than pretty much ever. I hope it remains once I add food back to the routine. It might be the reason to start planning future fasts - to keep myself grounded and under control (of myself). We'll see.

From Tuesday (Sep 30) some 100,000 federal workers are set to exit in what is being called the largest mass resignation in American government history.

Just found and installed Sakura. Great job, nostr:nprofile1qqst94nsmefmya53crp5qq39kewrtgndqcynhnzp7j8lcu0qjple6jsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qqggnq. It was super easy to install and get running. Now I can easily upload items directly to my server to share. I appreciate it!

I'll have to try this out. Deodorant is the one item I'm still using the fiat version of. Many of the "natural" types are either irritating or just don't work.
