That's different.

I had hoped to be asleep by 02:00, or earlier.  As 2:00 came and went, every next hour or half hour marker became the next goal.  It wasn't until 04:23 when I was finally able to lift and go on to bed.  As to getting up earlier, I still had a few tricks up my sleeve.  First, turning ac off and opening windows.  Fans were going, but as the morning air warms, that wakes me.  As well, leaving the door open so the girls can beg.

The upstairs was 70° when begging started, at around 08:00.  It took half an hour, with the girls tag team begging.  One would beg for three to five, take a break of similar length, then the other would start.  Had to laugh, that is how we worked it as kids... a wolf pack mentality.  By a bit after 08:30, I... surrendered.

It was still 70° upstairs.  I worried that it had heated downstairs too.  Nope, it was 67° in the main downstairs, but 59° in the front room?  Wow.  Outside, by 09:10, read around 60°.  A rather cool night for reaching to the 90°s during the day.  Happy for it.  Last night and this morning is very good.

Even if the rest of July, and August, are blazing, we have had a good summer, a cooler one anyway.  But Augusts have generally been cooler summer months.  It is just that I couldn't acclimate well to the local heat, initially, so couldn't initially see the difference.  Even now, heat fatigue will limit the benefit of slight cooling, unless it is profound.

I am hoping to wake and pick up sticks, possibly mow, before it warms too much yet today.  Not sure, with so little sleep.  Will see.  On to waking, or crawling back to bed.
