So cold!

 .

I took a nap.  It was 68° upstairs, which was fine, at first, mostly.  After sleeping a while, I realized I was frigid.  I had to work blankets and this and that to keep from being painfully cold.  My fingers, until being downstairs again for a bit, had become like dried raisins.  So odd.  I remember having that temperature be barely able for me to sleep at... it being too warm!

BP was high today, at 147/99 if pulse was a very good 70.  Blood sugar, as well, was running a bit high.  It started at 176, went to 135 after a fatted... milked... tea, then up to 148, then 141, and after another actual fatted coffee it finally dropped to 101.  Just an odd day.  None of that is horrible, it just isn't as low as food consumption and recent readings would have it.  Just 8 cc's per dose today.  I'm getting the grill going for burgers.  A spot of mayo and mustard on top.  It's what I can do.  Perhaps pasta-less goulash tomorrow.

I called a friend, to see if he happened to still have my mother's number.  I have tried checking messages, in case it would be there, but no dice on either score.  I wish she would try to call.  I don't have any number of anyone else who might have her number.  Unless she calls, I can't call her.  And, I do miss at least checking in from time to time.  She is probably just miffed I haven't called, answered, or emptied my messages!  Plus, I'd like to contact my brother, just check in.  And maybe get a few other phone numbers.  But, really, just talking with her is sorely missed.

After that cold nap, 84° feels quite good.  That's what it is at outside.  How very odd.  For the last thirty years and then some, just being outdoors in the summer was exceedingly uncomfortable.  I don't know what happened.  But something very strange has happened.  It is so good to actually be able to enjoy the summer, if not fully actively quite yet.  What is just as odd, is 79° in this the computer room, with the fan going, is... a bit chill.  Not enough to change anything, as it would warm a bit too much probably, just... quite odd.

Not really hungry, but I should eat.  Hmm, I ought to put some green beans on as well.  Later.
