Tired

So, I decided to do the good old-fashioned Atkins Induction 14-day eat-exactly-what-the-book-says thing, because that's easy on the brain.

I rarely think to buy chicken livers at the store, but I've been getting them from the farm whenever they were available because they were super fresh and freaking delicious. Sigh, I'm going to miss having an excellent poultry source so handy! But not for a while, because my freezer is literally full of chicken and chicken products.

And I figure all this food (besides the chickens) will actually last me for over a month, aside from things like fresh produce that I got smaller amounts of and need to buy more often to avoid spoilage anyway. Hopefully as I refill it won't all run out at once...
