A new day.

.

Still morning, here, barely.  The ducks are out, and out of food.  When I buy food I will also be picking up a trash type can.  Plastic... rubber... might work.  I would rather galvanized.  I'm not sure I believe in non-metal, if even those if not kept dry.  Yea, I'd best get... going.  Especially knowing that starting now means a three hour functional start as is.  It sometimes sucks to be me.

Meds and aspirin first thing.  Morning and afternoon headaches have become dailies as carvedilol is being added.  I've had much worse.  I may end up with much worse.  I have two more dose jumps.  First, the 3.125 mg, which boosts me to over half, probably for a week, then to the other 6.5.  I will be shifting up more quickly.  Even with the headaches, which are relatively mild, and the mild crippling, this medicine start is less painful.  I haven't lost awareness so as to fall off it.  I think it is all the summer sun and warmth.  This is harsh in the winter.

No good reason to check bp.  Then again, getting in practice wouldn't be a bad thing.  BP will be from terrible to horrible until I get back to dose and maintain it for a while.  I may even, at my next visit, double the small lower dose pill.  Between diminishing returns and the limits of my capacity to take this med... it may be as good as I can get, without a boost.

I got up in a hurry, when I  saw the time.  Couldn't remember if I had closed up the downstairs.  It got to at least 88° F (31.1 C) yesterday, if dipping to at least 48° F (~ 8.9 C) last night.  So summer is neither dead nor toothless, even if splendidly cooler around certain corners.  Thankfully it was all buttoned up.  A pleasant 71°.  Upstairs, just on fan mode, on one machine, and another fan, it was 68°.  Perfect for sleep.

The electric company billed at about $87?  Given ac, two of them for most or all of that billing time actually, plus three to four fans much of the time, on top of regular use?  Excellent.  I believe I have cut, over my last system configuration.  Now that I have settings, systems, and rigging down, I'll bet I can shave another twenty off a month.  Well, and that is more double, triple, or more than my typical bill... at least now that, when awake at night, I don't leave every light on.  :P

Yea, I best get... going.  I will start a load of laundry.  By the time it goes into the dryer... given it's "high efficiency" (lazy) nature, which means wash cycles take one and an half to two and an half hours...  I should be ready to shower, and start a load of whites.  *sigh*  Still, it is much gentler on the clothes.  That... is the real advantage.  It is taking twenty washes before aging is noticed, or more, versus five to seven.  By the time I notice aging, a standard washer would have killed the shirt, even jeans.  More so if I remember to turn them inside out.  Later.
