Tricks for summer.

Actually, they work for winter too, some of them.  Keeping heat or cold in the front rooms.  Most back windows open, which won't work much longer, save at night.  Heavier curtains with sheers as well, heelps aton.  I would like an exterior door between one of the rooms, as both more weather shielding and extra security.  But those are terribly expensive, doubly when installed.  For now a curtain rod and sheet, but it did quite well.  It got to 90 F, or really close.  Actually it even helped the front room remain cooler.  It only got to 74.  The rest of the cave stayed in the upper 60's.  I haven't needed the ac upstairs, if in the main bedroom, on hot days, it is sometimes necessary.

Funny, I sometimes need ac in the winter, if we get a relative warm spell.  I suppose the warming has been gradual enough for even me this spring?  Well, and it will take a bit to really heat, at which time the cave will hold heat and the ground won't sop it up as well.  Still, I am slowly learning how to better rig the cave.  At least until I get central air.  Some of it will still work, getting ducts to the front rooms would be an engineering beast, at some real risk.

Dinner is going.  The last of the roast, a potato, and corn.  I think half a potato will do, the rest can be warmed in a couple days.  Smaller potatoes?  No, they are more expensive and ding my blood sugar more for some reason.  Just normal potatoes.  I should try red, gold, and finger potatoes... for variety and as raw data.  I was tempted to buy squash the other day.  Soon.  As well, with cottage cheese and fruit, I am cutting portions.  I am trying to figure out what, how much, and when to eat.

I bought more corn, but somehow got a bunch of creamed corn.  They faced boxes with regular corn, then had the other behind.  I'll find a home for it and shop more carefully.

Most eating advice, other than cutting most sugar and fast burning carbs, if what even those are, what those mean, is inaccurate, hugely, at least for me.  Finding which foods that work, then controlling volume and frequency of consumption are the tricks.  The latter are equally important.  A difficult set of obstacles for a nearly sleep walker much of my time.  Such precise balance must be developed to gain control, something obviously not sustainable.  And, yet, the only option I will risk of the options available.

Stubborn?  No.  Alive beyond all reason and unwilling to let fool's jeopardize that for big pharma, medical industrial complex power pushes, especially combined with a growing government involvement in medicine.  Socialism always leads to genocide, usually of the sick first.  Just stopping insulin production would get rid of a lot of expense fast.  If the truth is it has nothing to do with money.  Unlike other "medicines", insulin creates a dependence, a vital one.  If I don't see it my lifetime I will be a bit surprised.  And it won't just be here.  Global.  It also won't just be insulin.  They might even base it on something true, in many places... water contamination.  Though for that to work they would have to kill the pill too, which is why it hasn't happened yet.  They need much higher levels of infertility.  Killing of the masses is tricky business.

Well, couldn't eat much.  Definitely still green about the gills.  Later.
