Better.

.
.
Brots, these ones, must have sugar despite their label.  There are only three left.  I will finish them.  I'll make a slaw dressing and have that on the side.  Blood sugar had been 199 before a few brots, the last of the steamed cabbage, and tea.  After four hours, much of it sleeping, and a solid dose of insulin, it is 152.  I'll get to it.  Back on the other meds, off since Saturday evening.  Full dose return.

I set the cot up.  The kidney region throbbing had become unbearable, so I napped on the cot.  The throbbing continued on in to sleep.  I woke to a few remaining aches, but the dissipated quickly.  It isn't perfect.  Still, really, too hot down here to do much.  But I am awake for just a bit.  I will enjoy a bit of time then go on back to bed.

As with medicine, food, and else, I have been neglecting sleep.  Not a choice.  Between the pain of sleep and the heat, there... I got what I could get.  I haven't given up sleeping on the floor, I am simply taking a break.  It may not be possible, or with what I have.  Or, I just need a break as I adjust.  The cot isn't a joy, itself, simply easier.

At first I didn't think the cot was going to work.  I had initially believed it might be cooler, with cold air over and under.  I was sleeping on top of a sleeping bag, which initially did make it too hot.  Well, and I was heated from having helped with the duck hutch.  There is no way to cool down quickly, even cool showers just heat me up.

So, initially, it was a bit hot.  However, over time, I did cool.  And my butt got a wee frosted.  Not really a bad thing, but in a longer game.  I will be sleeping on the cot until sleep is back in trim, so I will need to sort that out.  I just, well, it's strange.  I've never had a frigid ass before, or as the only component near frozen.  Too funny.

I stayed up all night, due to aches, pains, and heat, as well to be awake for work.  Even so I couldn't sleep until late afternoon, and then only for a few hours.  I need more sleep.  This time I'll try the sleeping pad under all, and my makeshift mattress on that, then a blanket  and/or bedspread.  I'll remove the sleeping bag, it doesn't make a good sleeping pad.  If I decided to use it, it will be zipped out as another blanket.

Later, good night, etc.
