A brutal day.

.

It isn't just the heat.  Or even the heat, to a degree, mostly.  It is the heat adding up over time, eroding my tolerance.  Yesterday it was as if I had no tolerance left.  Today was a goodly bit better.  Though waking before it gets too hot helps.  As well, I am going to have to go upstairs and cool off, perhaps shower or bath a few times a day, and possibly nap a time or two a day.  It's beating me harshly.

Even with the sleep interruption, I was up earlier today.  I felt better, mostly.  I have gone through moments of extreme exhaustion, with headaches, and else.  I have taken aspirin twice today, if I think the second time was a waste.  This is the first time in months?  A month?  I have been taking medicine, regularly and well, so it isn't that.  It's just the heat.

I need to make a few calls tomorrow, along with trying to clean up.  I really need to clean, but I am so broken down.  Do it anyway!  Well, yes, there is that.  Which works unless it doesn't.  The thousand piece puzzle upstairs was just too much, for a starter puzzle.  I have several five hundred or so puzzles.  I put the 1000'er away and pulled a 550... I think.  I have begun sorting, will do a bit more yet tonight.

I am up for a while, as I am finishing watering the lawn.  As of tonight, every inch has been watered once, for at least an hour, over the last three days?  Something like that.  I will look the lawn over tomorrow, let it go another day or two if that seems reasonable, and hit it all, but very little, one last time before leaving it go again.  It seems to have recovered better than I thought it would.  It wasn't horrible, but it was looking a bit rough.  I do enjoy keeping the lawn kempt, as possible.

I was sure, when it rained last night, that we would be getting rain for a while.  Not so much.  Not at all.  It was just a short, nothing, rain, leading to nothing else.  The hurricane(s?) might end up bringing something, as last time, but I wouldn't count on it.  It would have to go the wrong way, again.  I was surprised with the first one.  If it doubles down, it tells me something is very wrong.

I did contact the contact I had been given.  I was already ahead, having an account already.  The rest, as I explained, will take some time.  Heat is beginning to fray my cord.  If I can manage things a bit better, getting up into the cool, bathing or showering more, napping, and possibly working on top of those things, I might be able to figure this tech out a bit quicker than otherwise.

Yes, a bit of puzzle play, as I wait for the last watering zone to finish.  I hate getting sprayed... until I love it.  I might have to go out and get a facefull of sprinkler before going on to bed.  Still so very hot.  It is reading 74° here at the computer, so odd.  Bleh.  Later, or most likely good night.  I think I will crash early and well... and rather soon.
