Physics test tomorrow.

It is still cold in the cave but that is as it is. Study has been going pretty well for the last few days. I have done all of the work at least once, the last few chapters were available just this week so I have only done the work once. The rest of the work has been worked twice already. I have two units left to cover, the last two. We will be testing over 5 units of material and it is material with which I am only partially familiar. The knees ache, actually, from sitting in the only place I have to study. The couch is too low for me but there is no better place. Something would be sore no matter where I studied I think. That much time sitting in any place will cramp some part of the body. It is the price needed. I just hope I can keep enough of this stuff available when the time comes.

I cannot wait for heat tomorrow, hopefully! Though I will be in a test, my landlord indicated that he would be here to let the furnace man in. It has been a frigid week or so. Though I like the cold, I really need to be able to warm up from time to time. A shower helps, but is very short lived and there is that little curve of naked, to wet, to finally warm, to overcome. Waking has also been difficult. I tried using the oven to heat the place but that does no real good oddly. The best bet I have found is having the computer on, me dressed and working, and having the TV on. The TV cannot be on, as even on mute, the pictures suck out my brains. Stupid vile thing, I should give it to her sooner rather than later. So, to study, I have to do without one of my heaters. I think the cold adds to the aches.

I have been missing things, church events, doctors appointments, and such. I call when it is an actual appointment, but otherwise I am just absent. I have also been very sluggish. I think it is partly due to the cold, mostly I am hoping. I have been trying to wake earlier, but I have had little luck with that. It is too cold to just hop out and get going. At least the medicine seems to be working. My blood sugar is down to a respectable 125 fasting and dropping from previous readings. I am not sure about the blood pressure. I have a monitor but I am not sure when the best time to check it is and I have been too busy anyway.

I will be heading to my Mother’s house for Thanksgiving. I need to do something before I go, though there may be time to do it there if I run out of time here. She is not celebrating on Thursday, instead preparations are set for a feast on the Friday. I had hoped not to stay past Thursday but a good meal might be too tempting to pass up. As well, the company is quite good there. I do miss good company, being an old guy on campus. Beer parties and even the typical nature of the young can be a bit daunting or uncomfortable or too much for me. Yes, I am a grumpy old man. But then I sort of like that. I have earned it. There is occasional adult company, just not enough.

Back to studies. It is getting late and I already have a difficult time waking! Goodnight.
