Yes, I best get to it.

It is hot out there.  I mean screaming hot.  My vehicle is always in the garage, so it is easier to start up the ac and then keep it cool after that.  But getting out of the vehicle means leaving the X to the mercy of the sun, entering a world of horrid heat and mean hot ugly people, and working up a sweat while I do whatever else I do.  Still, I have been betraying my friend and I didn't buy that watch.  I wanted to wait until it cools off but...  My friend called just a bit ago, but we were having trouble talking.  I will call him back shortly and see if this evening would be okay to get out.

The drapes, I think, are why I am sleeping until later.  Hmm?  Oh, well, by keeping my home cooler in the morning, I can sleep longer.  Heat, at some point, will simply toss me out of bed, ready or not.  After several weeks of not going to bed until 4:00 and then waking by 9:00 or 10:00, I need extra sleep anyway, so it is good.  Just catching up.  Hopefully though, when the other drapes and ac unit arrive, I can get to bed earlier, and wake earlier.  All I would have to do is have the ac set to stop at about 4:00, then let the heat of the day wake me.  Well, something like that.  I am formulating plans now.  The trick is efficiency.  For example, if I program the ac to turn off early, and leave the drapes open, then the morning heat would wake me.  BUT, then the house would be hot.  Hmm, I'll... work on that.  By next summer I should have an efficient system down? 

Yes, yes, a shower, grooming, and dressing.  I no longer actually shave, I merely trim my face hears with clippers down to a nub.  I suppose if I find a woman type, I will clean shave.  At least if I want more than a kiss on the forehead (and I DO!).  But for my guy friends?  Well, they don't always shave either, and it wouldn't matter anyway.  Male friends aren't about each other's looks, or at least there is a lot of give.  And, perhaps, not just a permission for a bit of grunge, but an expectation.  It's... a guy thing.  One of those guy things I like.  Oh, sure, I have had spit and polish friends.  We just tease and mock each other and get over it.  Something about goodie two shoes and ogre being passed around.  Hmm, I have gone through both phases though.  I'm in grunge currently.  Oh, don't worry, I am presentable when I go out, just not... spiffy?  Yeah, just not spiffy.  Save when I make it to Church or some such.

Later.  Stay cool if you can, cook if you can't?  Bah!  Time for me to think about flying this oven...
