Never did nap.

It's good though.  I would have missed opening things up.  It is down to, according to my trusty thermometer, 52.  Further, it's only 3:19.  I wasn't sure I was reading it correctly, or that it was accurate.  Other forecasts have suggested that everything will be above average and pretty much stay that way until October, into September maybe.  Even nights weren't supposed to dip.  Well.  If true, that fell pretty flat tonight.  Though I don't put a whole lot of trust in most weather "news" these days.  Still, it was there.  In any case, I am going to continue to check... and enjoy the cool.

I still can't believe the after-meal blood reading, the second one.  That is getting pretty close to the normal range.  Further, it is 200 points down from the high about when I started, 210 to be exact.  Now I know how I kicked diabetes twice before, though also why I failed to maintain it.  I stopped eating.  But that was from failure, and was a forced starvation from being incapable of cooking, shopping, cleaning.  With control, as easily as I have been doing things, this really will work.  As I suggested elsewhere, this isn't something I will be doing until I hit my goals.  This is just how I will be doing things from here on in.  Mistakes?  Just go back.  Other health issues that crop up and cause issues?  Work through them, then get back.  I actually think, once I'm back in the ring, my health and diabetes will be able to handle some rough times fairly well.

I'm not sure about the outing tonight.  The heat... in the 90's?  After days of it, and mostly warmer evenings too for the last while?  Plus sleep twisting as it does?  I just don't know.  I love that folk can find their way into the burn, and enjoy.  While I can survive much, I... really have learned when and when not to take risks.  Mostly.  It's not a matter of want, will, or such.  It's simply physics.  They are people, in this case I am a hamster.  Hamsters do not do well in the heat, especially when already slightly heat stressed in the longer run.

Well?  I have been reading a new book.  I need to review the last book.  The new book is going better.  Not that the last book was bad.  Actually it is quite good, just dense... exactly what I cut my more adult reading teeth on in my teens.  Not to Tolkien's depth, but between that and the Narnia series.  With that English backdrop to make it denser.  If you have ever eaten truly English cuisine (I have, just not 'over there'), the gut bomb food.  Might stick to your ribs, might even be tasty, but you carry it for a generation.  Books, done correctly, with the English backdrop, are like that but of the mind.  I just wasn't quite up to it.  Anyway... I am cutting through this other book at a much better rate.  I'll be reading a couple more, and possibly putting others on my list.

The current book is Tom Swift and the Search for Planet X.  If you have a hankering for... at least for me... the books I remember reading when pre-teen and a little older... and even shows and movies... based roughly in science and adventure and some other such, this book might be the ticket.  It really reminds me of the whole era... it was a more hopeful era, a more structured era, but one in which right and wrong didn't need to be spelled out, pushed, or coaxed.  Just saying I am enjoying it.  I might read a bit more, shut things up, and head to bed... if I can.

Good night.
