Too hot.

.

I purchased a fan for upstairs.  It makes it feel better.  I was up there for a while, unable to sleep.  I didn't quite understand.  Then I checked the temp.  While the fan makes it feel better, the truth is it is still 78 up there.  No matter how one dresses some things up, they just won't work.  I may have to further purchase a small window ac for up there, close it up, and use that as needed.  I know I can sleep at 70, maybe at 72, possible 74, but not at 78.  And I need my sleep.

While I have misplaced some of my medication, so been off it for a few days, I have somehow nearly completely drained of fluids.  I would have thought, with the added heat stress, drinking "bad" fluids, eating the wrong foods until I can sort things, that I would be even worse than before.  Nope.  My feet are down to normal.  I started back on medications tonight, resetting the spare medicine container.  Though I cut the water pill to just one.  I fear what two might do, with me being this low on fluid.

On the other shoe, so to speak, I seem to have obtained a pretty hefty foot fungus.  I'll be working at erradicating that, if possible.  Perhaps the more recent, and severe, swelling left my feet vulnerable.  I have heard that daily, or twice daily, soaking in an apple cider vinegar and water mix will fix it, in a month... along, perhaps, with vix vapor rub?  Anyway, I might give that a try.  If I can find a foot bath that fits, or something that will work beside... hmm... one of those storage totes... but will require a lot more fluids.  This world is not built to be convenient to even pseudo-giants.

I said I would get the weed eater going tomorrow.  She has an electric.  It may not be a single shot, as today it was 90, with high humidity, putting the index up to 100... a bit dangerous for pets and gimps of various sorts, and the young and old.  I can probably get to it if I don't push too hard or long at any time.  Probably.  I'll be giving it a shot.  It is actually too hot to take her dog out, at least until later.  I have been walking him from time to time, for both of our sakes.

While I won't take care of complete care and feeding, I would like to see about walking more and more, and doing some of the care.  In consideration of obtaining a dog myself.  I could use the incentive to walk, and pal on the road.  But it can be a lot of work on all ends.  Dogs need and want a lot of time and attention.  Perhaps too much time and work.  Even a small dog needs quite a lot of time and a moderate amount of attention.  Though they walk much better than cats... which, on a leash, produce more like a drag... which is illegal in many states, immoral in even more.  ;p

I have been trying to make myself handy.  Not sure living together would ever work out though.  She loves to work,  And loves everyone else within a two square mile area to work with and for her.  I have let her know to make lists.  And, if she asks for something, do it when I am already up or getting up, not when I am in the middle of something.  She has done better with that, so far, mostly.  But that will always be a challenge for her.  Still, I think, with a bit of patience and effort on both sides, it might be possible.  While she is healthy enough.  And well worth it, with some pains to keep it sorted.  I just don't see her really doing it.  Oh, and she could go to my brothers for longish spells when it gets cold there, or just because.  I could probably keep up, for a while, if the place was mostly in order... or even afford help for when she was gone.

As I suggested, I have doubts about the veracity of her consideration.  But if she really gets to that place, I'd do what I could to make it happen.  To that end I really need to get back to work on cleaning and clearing when I return home.  I'll definitely be getting a dumpster in when I get back and clearing much out.  Then cleaning harshly and powerfully.  I may not get it all up, and keep it up, but I will approach that and shut some areas off, then hit a room every other month or something.  Ugh but housekeeping is just not my forte.

Not sure what to do tonight.  I would love to sleep, want it, but it's just too warm.  There is the couch, down here, but it is a bit too small and uncomfortable for me.  I may go up, read, and hope it just clicks, in time.  Good night.
