New day.

I wondered about something.  As things heated up for the summer I changed some habits.  Rigging my home for the heat requires a few things.  Being half stone, and much more really by mass, my home can be trimmed to deal with the heat.  During the day everything gets closed up, locked down, and shaded.  As soon as the outside temps are cooler than the inside temps, just the opposite.  I have roughly figured out how to get the fans pointed in the right directions at the right times to help this all work.  Because of the stonework, if done properly, the inside temps remain 15-20 degrees cooler than the day temps.  Without air conditioning of any kind.

Additionally, in the last few days to week, I was turning my ac on, but just the fan, which brought in night air.  Oddly, I think that doesn't work for me.  I need it cooler to sleep well.  So, the ac was set to keep cooling while I slept last night and that saw me up by 9:00, or so, even with a rather late night.  Yes, I do think regardless of how I feel, regarding the heat, I simply need cooling through the night to sleep and wake well.  I'm just not a heat tolerant type.  I used to suggest that I was allergic to heat.  I have learned some tolerance, but not as much as I had hoped.

Today?  When I wake I will be hitting the plumbing.  I am hoping the pipes have drained and dried enough that I can debraze them.  Then probably, or maybe, working on the trickler system.  I'll do what I can.  I received a call, which went to message, saying the sewing machine is fixed and ready for pickup.  I'll grab her on the way back from my appointment tomorrow.  Oh, right, fasting.  I have to have nothing but water or black coffee from midnight until the blood tests tomorrow, though I can take my medicines.  Yum!  Then again I rarely eat breakfast.  One meal a day, when and if I can get it, need it or not.  Not exactly a motto, just a fact. 

A bit tired though.  I'm not quite used to being up this early.  It seems like only a few days ago when I was getting up at 8:00 or earlier regularly, but that has probably been a week or more, coinciding just about perfectly with when I started using the ac as a simple fan.  Waking just a few hours earlier can throw me.  I'll probably be taking a nap around noon, a short one.  It's a good time for a nap, and cool down, anyway.  Strong, in some ways, as I am, and more, becoming I am still as fragile as egg shells in some ways.  My heart may eventually be fully healed, and I think it is getting there, but it isn't today.  Unlike the saying with regards to Rome, the damage was probably done in nearly a day.  It is just that the reverse isn't possible, or... not this late in the game.  I guess I will never know what could have been if doctors had been more awake than me.  At least I had an excuse.

Later.
