Up just long enough to crash.

Up at, what, 10:00?  Or so, I think.  I made it to 13:00 and change.  I expected, at that time, to begin.  Instead I fell, imploded into a sleepy exhaustion none of my finest efforts could allay.  Down I went, to sleep, so hard and fast it almost hurt.  Even my nervous system seemed to be failing.  Couldn't type correctly, had twitches, had a difficult time walking.  I've seen this with Sam, when she is too tired.

So, back to bed somewhere between half past thirteen or fourteen hundred.  I did try to fight it off.  Not sure for how long.  I tried to remember the time.  It was put in, several times, but it just didn't stay.  I am waking at 18:00.  I woke a few other times, only 17:00 was remembered by time.  I couldn't stay awake.  It was warm enough up there, that wasn't it.  It is a good day, just down to 58 after several hours of dark... so... and it was nice earlier, a lot nicer if this is pretty good.  And upstairs was 67.

I did turn the fan on, but that actually warmed the upstairs.  Without the fan, it would be 58 to 63 up there, at best.  I removed what had been blocking the open vent to downstairs.  That doesn't help at all when ac is needed.  But when heat is needed upstairs, it does.  Convection and such, heat rises.  Two ac's don't produce enough cool air to help downstairs, so it just dissipates.

So, no, I didn't make it to town, or do anything else.  I crashed, hard, almost painfully.  I am hoping to do some dishes, and roast chicken tonight.  Get a shower, brush the teeth a time or two, and... probably go back to sleep by midnight.  If... I can make it that long.  So very tired, even now.  I can be awake, for a while, anyway.

Ducks are in, the girls have been fed, their litter box tended.  Now to some other things.  Later.
