Ah! So that's the problem.

Just staying awake today has been difficult.  Waking up has taken a very long, unusually long, time as well.  When I finally started to make sense of my world I realized something.  I'm COLD.  Chilled to the bone, really.  I thought perhaps I had turned the furnace off.  Nope, 72 F and running.  If it gets below 66 I can have a difficult time waking.  At 70, definitely 72, I usually do well.  Save when it doesn't matter, like now.  Something fails, in my body, to be able to use heat, retain heat, whatever.  This is one of those days.  And those days are difficult.  I will be doing good just to stay awake until bedtime.

They say diabetes can do this, but I have had this problem in pretty much the exact pattern for a very long time.  Days or weeks where I just can't get warm, sometimes where I can't get cool.  It probably has something to do with the heart, though what precisely I don't know.  It might even be other organs having problems with a low oxygen.  I don't think doctors know.  Odd, with heart disease being so prevalent how little they know about it.  Then again, even with super-funded things like some cancers, they still seem to know the disease, or how to treat it, no better.  Basically the human body is too different, one from another, and too complex even where that not so, for anybody to get a good grip on diseases and how to treat them.

I have tried several times to schedule an appointment with the cardiology clinic, or whatever it is called, but keep getting referred to the wrong places.  I will look through my wallet.  Perhaps I have a card with the exact information, a specific name, or something.  Just calling and asking isn't getting the job done.  And I am quite sure they will want to continue having me come in.  My guess is the place is bedlam after a three day weekend, so it will be up to me to get through.  I'll call on the medicine too, soon.  Though, if I have been timed out of that clinic I might not have refills.  This could get tricky and I'm just not up to being clever today.

Dang but I want a nap!  Later.
