Ah, but why?

As I was planning sleep tonight I decided to really pay attention.  All I remember from last night was that I could not shut down.  Tonight, what happened, was as it came to be time for bed, my perception of heat actually increased.  With the sun down, the outside cool, windows open, fans going, I started to feel warmer than I had all day... when it was actually hot.  Something tripped and my body started to become too warm.  It wasn't food, it wasn't what I was drinking, nothing has really changed day over day.  What has changed is that the days have become warmer, hotter really.  It is reaching 80 F in my home now.

So, why that last burst of heat?  As the house cools down into the lower 70's my perception was that it was hotter than it had been when the thermo suggested it was 80 or 82.  Sleep, of course, was out of the question.  I suspect that I will not be able to simply cool my room, then go in and sleep.  I will probably need to be in there doing something to cool my core, over time.  One of the items of personal interest I just purchased was first and second year Latin book course, and some of the things that make learning a bit easier.  I haven't found a great oral Latin presentation, but that isn't as important.  Among other reasons for the purchase is to, perhaps, read the vulgate along with various old tomes, stories, and such, in their original format.  My guess is it won't be quite all that, the stories.  The vulgate is said to be one of the best translations of the bible, bar none.  Though I am sure some will debate that.  Be careful, look deeply before you place that bet.  What is doubtlessly debateable, is that the vulgate contains books at the time of Luther which were not found in any other source language (at least until the Dead Sea Scrolls, which at least point to such books, or have parts of them).  Anyway, learning Latin would be a good way to cool down and bore my mind into sleep!  Perhaps...  Learning is one of those things that, like reading, really takes up energy.

I am not sure I will get far in my studies.  I have two years worth of material to study (or two courses, not sure if they were meant to be year long studies or semester long studies... the titles... first year... often just means that one course is taught, say, as a freshman, the second course is taught as a sophomore, but only due to the scheduling of the curriculum.  I'll find out soon enough.  When buying a number of books it isn't worth the extra shipping (per each item) to order them overnight (save a special occasion perhaps).  So my air conditioner will probably beat my books here.  How CRAZY is that?  Seriously, that is messed up.  But... I'm not complaining.  I couldn't sort myself to read without a cool enough environment in which to do so.

Hmm, 2:30.  I'll try to sleep.  I may even be able to, having so little sleep "last night".  I sure hope that ac actually fits, works, and life can begin normalizing again.  I am always behind the eightball.  Some of it is lack of planning, some of it is lack of ability, there are many reasons.  But here, in my own home, perhaps I may begin to... get ahead.  There is something about being static that allows one to collect just the right parts and pieces, to begin putting together what works now, and to even begin developing improvements over time for the future.  It is much easier when the rules can't be changed arbitrarily, and when I have something at stake. 

Good night, I hope.
