Not a bad rest.

A bit short, so a nap may happen later.  Pick-up sleep isn't perfect but does help.  I don't know if I mentioned, but I only had to stay awake to a bit after noon.  The scheduler for the n.p. I was hoping to work with called and, after speaking with the n.p., decided to see if I was interested.  Tracking blood sugar will be about $100 every three months.  I don't know if lab fees are additional, though I suspect so.  I don't know about prescriptions, but that would be a good add.  Just an emergency source should the V.A., or myself, mess up.  I don't even need a three month supply, just monthly... though with enough scripts in that I can keep afloat as needed.  The one that concerns me the most is lantus.  I only get a two month supply, and that has been pulling lame.  It's as if they are putting less than a month's supply in.  I know I don't use more.  If anything I miss a day or two a month.  But it's not lasting the full month.  Did they power it down to 28 days but miss the thing, or rip off the V.A., putting in 24 while charging for 28?  Oops!  A two month supply means I pretty much have to order every other month.  No matter how much better I am doing, that is like anyone else always standing on their toes.  There is no fast way to get it here.  Oh, I ordered yesterday.  Haven't heard a peep (they call to schedule delivery, even if a signature isn't required).  Fine, but... I'll call them tomorrow.  A little breathing room on medicine means I'm not as much of a captive.  Yeah, the V.A. can be nasty when you don't play the game of your life the way they want you to.  She's... just... like... a woman to me.

I think I have enough kefir made up to keep one as a double sour this time.  I've been drinking that quite heavily.  It does clean you out, as I mentioned.  But that, mostly, seems to have past.  At least past peak.  My body is sort of figuring out to do with the new biofuel regulators.  I'm still having to be tender with gas.  No sharts yet, and I'd like to keep it that way.  I'll bet my internals are now a veritable who's who of nutrient separators.  I am hoping my stomach becomes more accustomed soon though.  Not so much the cleansing as a bit of gas.  I don't get gas, or haven't in the passed.  Not since draino.  Hmm... maybe that part of my body never recovered completely?  Dunno.

I don't know if I will get out to work tonight.  It is pushing into or at least very close to 100 around here.  It just doesn't cool off much at night.  Between the fans, the humidifier, and the ac, I'm breaking even.  I can't work whenever I want, and can only work sporadically as is, so my windows of opportunity are a bit more scarce.  Still, I am doing enough better generally that I do get some things done.  I just won't work in high heat, which is the 80's.  At nearly 19:00, it is still in the lower 90's out there.  Bleh.  Murder!, she screamed.  Iowa was worse, but at some point, hot is hot is hot.  Microwave or kiln dryer, too much is just that.  And more, it isn't just the temp, it's that there is no way out from it.  Well, we'll see.  Not sure what the temps are up and away.  Hope to find out Monday.  If I can cool enough, I may begin hiking up around there too.  Maybe camping just a bit.  Just won't promise much until I know how much cooler it is up there.  At 80, that would be better than 100, but not enough cooler to hike.

It's summer!  That's just the way it is.  I actually like the weather here.  It is, to my mind, ideal.  Full true seasons.  Very hot, very cold, generally dry, with altitude for attitude thrown in for good measure, and more where that came from.  I would hate to live in a place that only changes with weather, but not separating into seasons.  I understand why some like that, want it.  I'm just not among them.  If I must visit, it will be in their version of winter.  Bleh.  Plus, this weather keeps them from visiting at certain times of the year, should they think to do such.  Makes it easier to control that.  Think... weather barricade.  :)

Oh, right.  My final count for pageviews this month was 2,130.  Not sure what that means, don't trust the number.  Suspect flaws with it being both that many, and that few, for various reasons.  So... it's as good as it gets for a count.  Later.
