Sleep, lots of it.

.

No choice.  I was exhausted beyond reason.  Trying to stay up, downstair, at 76°, for several days, ruined me.  I'm a mess, and will be until I recover, rest, and begin to acclimate.  Far too hot far too quickly.  From 8:30, I think, I slept until 14:30.  I woke several times.  Just... still feeling too warm, and a call?

The call I heard, maybe others, was from my bank.  The company I ordered from was Canadian.  And?  Well, my bank doesn't do Canada, or any foreign, natively.  Must be one of the (new?) national security laws.  They will, upon request, open up transfers to a foreign company for a short time.  Ugh.

This means I will have to fuss about in an attempt to get them to attempt the transaction again.  To bad they don't do this with Chinese goods carte blanche.  I will never buy Canadian again.  Not worth a few dollars savings, if that was even it.  I think I simply recognized the company name, so trusted from the praise of others.  Unfortunately, some companies I might work with in the US will pass off fake items.

It remained 68° up there, throughout.  I had been curious about rigging... open curtains for better cold air flow, or close the curtains on the air conditioners.  As it turns, closing the curtains keeps it cooler.  However?  It was far cooler today, and I was sleeping in a different place, plus many other possible factors.  I will do several more trials.  To be scientific, I need to check same temperature ranges, with same humidity, atmospheric pressure, while tending other variables, over similar periods of time.

Science isn't so much a tricky widget as an impossible one.  Thus the lab.  While a lab setting allows a more equal set of parameters, it also excludes known and unknown variables.  Which is why everything from application lab work to computer modelling absolutely fail.  Thus engineering.  I sometimes think they do, or don't, include the butterfly effects.  Only some actually should be included.  Picking the right three from trillions to the e is... well.  At least they have neat toys and stupid stories.  Might as well go Zen.  It has more truth than they can conjure.  All they have is faith.  I'll bet they don't remember that Einstein and Darwin died disbelieving their own works.

It was just 72° downstairs, and about 84° outside.  It is alread 73° and small change an half hour after waking.   Bleh.

Hmm?  Today?  Up with the shower curtain, a shower, out with the trash, and a stab at cleaning the bathroom?  Yeah.  If I get too hot, a trip upstairs to fold clothes.  If that doesn't cool me enough, then time on the puzzle.  A bit on that each day is getting it done.  Oh, I'd like to finish meal dishes.  They have stacked up a bit, but not terribly quite yet.

A bit of work, between cooling and napping as needed.  When those tasks are completed, a new list.  Later.
