Ugh? Yes. Definitely. Ugh.

.

I woke well, and about right on time.  Slept well before that.  And went to bed as hoped.  No matter, even with the furnace pushed to 75 I simply can't get to things, anything really.  And the blogosphere is deader than I am.  Oh, I can read, a bit.  And I can tinker if I don't use much energy.  It just seems ugly.  Is it the season?  I am getting hit with a short term cool front, which does tend to slow things down.  And less light seems to hit some switch in my brain which causes temporary zombie levels itself.  Perhaps I am simply not the only one?  Maybe I said something I shouldn't have?  Wait, that's not a question.

I keep hoping that the vigor I had the other day returns.  It was tough to get out, and even get geared for it the other day.  I did buy some foods I can eat without cooking.  Perhaps some of that would help.  Braunschweiger isn't to everyone's taste, but I sure enjoy it once in a while.  Hmm, I really out to get my grill together, that makes cooking quite simple.  I also thawed a portion of corned beef yesterday, so I ought to get on that.  I do have a clean pot, all the ingredients, and all it takes is a certain amount of time per pound.  A simple sandwich, now, though, would help.  Ugh...  Perhaps this evening, a real meal!

I did find a hooded long sleeve t-shirt, as per Desert Cat's preference.  Only I went with black.  I keep telling him that black is quite comfortable in heat but he just won't believe me.  I bought only one, to make sure it would fit.  I had thought to buy two.  But being how well I like them, I might buy a few more, and not just for camping.  These are extremely comfy.  While extra extra large are a bit baggy, it works great.  It allows for a short sleeve t-shirt underneath it, and is long enough without being a tall.  I don't like standard shirts this loose, I just fear that an extra large, or even a large, while the last would fit perfect I would have nothing to tuck.  Even this size is pushing that.  Yes, several of these would be quite nice, maybe a few white ones for under other shirts.  Great, for me, for winter as well.

Yeah, later.

  2. Yes, yes, I know. The thing is, as I said, when I go back on them I will go into a deep, dark, nearly non-existent tunnel, one I don't know when I will exit. I need/want to have some things done and arranged before that.

    Then again, as things are going, if I can't get to anything as I had hoped I will just start meds this Friday.

    Kids indeed!

  3. I prefer black. I wear it extensively in the cooler months. I am not unaware of the real difference however...

  4. Experience? With the colors?

    If you say so I'll take your word for it. If you have said it before, pardon... I so easily forget the little things.

    What baffles me is that, as a heatphobe, black works better than white for me, in many if not all situations. Perhaps each individual truly does have different... things going on. Different numbers of melanin, different reactions to heat by the skin, even respiratory systems, and such.

    That's right, you truly do wear black fairly often. Actually, more often than I do perhaps. *grins* Too funny, in a way. Just chalk it up to things sometimes running into the 'story line' sort of thing, then right properly clout me! That'll make you family right 'chere.

  5. If I could get away with wearing black in the daytime in the summer, I would. Here in Arizona the price to pay is not just discomfort, but outright pain in the form of first degree burns. Tight black jeans and noonday sun do NOT mix...ai!

    It doesn't take me long once the sun intensity ramps up in May to abandon ship for lighter colored clothing. And sometimes I switch to black too soon in the fall.

  6. Now, I don't do black pants. But shirts, all the time. About 1/3 or my various shirts are black. I'm trying to figure it out. We had a summer of 95 days, so it's not like it's cooler here. And with an elevation of roughly 4,500 in the valley I doubt if you have an elevation differential. It must be anatomic.

    Hmm, I don't get out in it as often. No, that isn't it, wouldn't that actually make me more susceptible to burning? And, beside black, I only wear darker colors, burgundy, red or brick, some blues if those are usually lighter but not light blues usually.

    Odd. As you noticed, I really am a big baby about heat.
