A rather late start.

I was to bed by midnight, perhaps one, up to an half hour after either at most.  And, it was down to 73!  Oh, it was wonderful.  That is the coolest night I have had in... a very long time.  Both ac's were running, and the fans were on high.  Downstairs was open.

I think it got down to 58~62, I can't remember exactly, outside.  Indoors, when I woke, upstairs was still 73, downstairs was 75 everywhere, and outdoors was 80.  It was just before 13:00.  Lucky I caught it when I did.  Would rather have awaken earlier, and shut things up, if I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference.  

I think, without air conditioning, 75 is probably as cool as the downstairs will remain without being open to cooler air.  It is based on ground temp, and how much of that can pull heat from the house through the stone and cement buried underground.  It used to be possible to be cooler, but that was because the branch kept the sun off a large portion of the roof.  It didn't really hurt, in the winter.  The sun just doesn't offer any warmth.  Besides, at that angle, the branch wouldn't keep any sun off anything.

I suspect, the reason I couldn't get up earlier, was the temp.  While it is only a few degrees cooler, my body needed that, terribly.  I left on ac on, and one of the fans on low.  I always do the latter, rarely do the former.  I am hoping, again tonight, to get upstairs to 73... maybe cooler.  That one ac will help temper it up there, during the day.

I am hoping to catch up on sleep, and get good sleep.  At this point, 73 is oasis like for me.  Another night, of sleep as long as needed, and I might be able to get back to a few things.  I have been crippled, broken, overheated, and unwell for it lately.  Can't get much done.  Even chores are difficult.  Once a day, lately.  Too tired, sleepy, achy, and heated to check or do more, other than an occasional little thing.

Oh, I will start towels, in the washing machine.  And put those out later.  I need to set up water for tonight, but hopefully be done in an hour or so.  Perhaps do the back too, so maybe an hour and an half if I can get it going, and see it through.  I can hope.  Well, and maybe another shower today.  The one yesterday was fantastic.  Though, not midday.  It is far better to shower if I am up before 06:00, or after it starts cooling out there.  Later.
