Fine and dandy.

Sleep was absolutely wonderful. After getting the house cooled down, I closed everything early this morning. At 17:00 the house is about 76 F. While only 4 F less than what it was running, that 4 F is significant. I can easily live with 76 F, which is running from 15 to 20 F cooler than outside. Add fans and it is simply delightful, comparatively. As well, any humidity that might otherwise come in doesn't. Perhaps as what of dew exists, or what comes on the winds during heating in the morning? I don't know, it just seems less humid. Since I don't have a gauge, I don't actually know, just a 'felt' thing.

I needed that sleep. Between being a bit off due to meds, a bit off due to heat, and of course just... being a bit off all by my lonesome, sleep had been a wretched thing for some time. Brutal, hard to control, not very restful, difficult to shake, and hot and sweaty on top of it. Meds might be helping again, though I can't swear to it. I have already started dropping weight, 5 pounds so far, which means water, so there is that. And I had wondered if, on top of everything else, water weight specifically held in more heat or somehow in some way made heat less tolerable. My blood pressure is still elevated, but that usually takes a little time to bring down. It might take a week or two to get things back in order. But I have never quit... trying. No rest for me, not now, or at least not yet. I need to get into a solid regular 'low orbit', keep it there for a bit with plenty on my plate comparatively, and then I can relax a bit but only by maintaining that 'low orbit' of activity instead of shooting for a higher orbit.

Oh, the other day I saw a debate about birth control. I had been hitting that blog hard, so I decided not to pump more of my thought into the place. Even so-called conservative women become a bit drawn out with continued use. So I thought I would write it up here. The notion being presented was, now that there (apparently, not independently verified) is a contraception for men, an injection that places a device or dose of medicine in the bicep, which is clear visible and felt, whether women should also be forced to use a form of contraception which is visible. The suggestion was that feminists would wheeze and moan about any such proofing.

I hated to break it to her, but whether feminists complained about this was actually a moot point. Oh, sure, they might complain. But they complain about everything. If you understand that feminists, whether they understand it or not and being mostly women there is some notion that they may not actually be fundamentally capable of understand what they do, they are for contracepting as many children from being born as possible. They are for this form of societal, self-imposed, genocide, just as they are for abortion, which is the other part of it. For often siding with the "greens" (oddly, considering how much the pill pollutes the water system) and "naturalists" (despite the fact that both contraception and abortion are completely unnatural horrors only few animals in the most dire of situations can sometimes enact (think rats)), they either do not understand or they are outright hypocrites.

What I am saying is, arguing with feminists about the minor issue means you have already surrendered to their main points. This is like the Repubs debating Obama, to date. They always lose because he moves the goalpost and complains he isn't getting his way, after he has pretty much gotten everything he wanted and just looks for a few more peckings, and they RUN to accommodate. And they yield and yield and yield until they might as well have been Demos. No, Helen, having women prove they have contracepted is not "showing feminists!". *sigh* Modern women. You can tell em'. You just can't tell em' much.

Oh, and to add cheer to joy, enjoy this.


Well, off to sort of wake up and then to figure some things out. Have a wonderful afternoon. I myself shall endeavor to enjoy my 'morning'. What's that you say? "But, Doom, it's afternoon"! Bugger off, it's morning somewhere you, you... you!
