Pretty ugly.

I think it was around 90~94 when I woke, around 16:00?  Up to an hour earlier.  It is down to 84, but that is still ugly hot.  For whatever reason, the upstairs is now getting down to 73, day or night, with both air conditioners running, and two fans going.  So sleep is good enough.  If too, because of it, I am sleeping twelve to fourteen hours a day.  

I did wake at 08:00 this morning, and shut everything down.  It was 72 and 73 down here, when I closed up.  But 76 and 80 by the time I woke, midafternoon.  I tried to stay awake, but my legs were even weak.  This heat is getting too repetitive.  I am doing much better in it, than ever before.  But, at some point, it has begun pounding me into the ground.  I can't really work my way through it.  If I could keep it to even 74, or maybe 76, downstairs, I could probably do a bit better.

The outside temp is actually moderate.  Given all the givens.  It could easily still be 94, or have gone up to 96, or even 104.  It's not uncommon.  And, some think a dry climate helps, and really it does, but at some point, over some number of days, the body of even the healthy begin to be over taxed just by the heat.  The unhealthy?  Yea.

I did get on the mower, and cut a good wide path through grasses and alfalfa, out to the outbuilding with the rabbits.  It isn't too bad of a walk, but there are some thorny weeds down low, and the grasses grab at the legs.  I just wanted an easier walk to and fro.  Plus... it felt like I did something.  

The front lawn is doing better, greening, but probably won't be doing a lot of growing any time soon.  Too hot.  Now that I am back to watering regularly, I need to get seed out there.  And, possibly, buy more seed and just overseed, and continue watering, but go without cutting, for a bit.  This year, maybe, I will get that going and doing well?  Maybe.

Ugh... so very hot.  Sleep is helping.  And I feel better, plus feel rested and mostly healthy.  But I am only awake part of a day, and not able to do much with it.  It's as good as it gets in high summer?  Probably.  Later.
