A very short sleep.

.

Too many things on my mind.  Getting the lock cut off, groceries, getting the car cleaned... it had an extra coat of bird poop paint...  So much to do, my mind wouldn't let me sleep.  I studied a bit, but that... more or less just helped me get going.  I couldn't stick to it.

I couldn't get the lock cut off, it had already gotten too hot by the time I was ready.  I won't ask someone to do that.  I may try tomorrow morning, if I am up early enough.  I did get to town, checked my account, purchased groceries, and got the care cleaned.  Not bad, given that it was 100 out there.  I was... running into trouble.  Anything else I thought about doing, and there were several options, had to be abandoned.

Still, a good start.  As well, I called my mother.  I worry about the old girl.  She sounds good, and things sound like they are going well.  They could use rain.  Who couldn't... save the Chinese?  She will be checked out by her surgeon, after the heart doctor gave her the okay.  If the surgeon checks things and gives his okay, they will go in next week.  I actually have great sympathy for her.  This all just stretches the things out, and she frets so.  I fret with her, and pray.  It's what I can do.

Oh, I have been thinking.  I may try an evaporative cooler.  A small one, in this front room.  If it works, and with a 39% humidity the highest I have seen in months (thanks, I think, to an early monsoon season... if a dry on the ground one so far), I think it would do well here.  According to charts and advertising.  If it works well, I might put one upstairs, for the daytime, and try to use just one ac at night?  Or both, still, if needed.

If those work out, I may get a bigger one for the living room and rest of the house.  Everything is separated enough that... it could really work well.  Cheaper than an whole house ac, up front?  Yes.  But more expensive on electric?  Probably.  Though, I wouldn't have to run them all, all the time.  Just now and again.  If I can handle 86, I can handle 72.  Heck, 72 might be too cool anymore.  Though adding moisture, maybe not?  Bleh.  Worth a shot.  Just a small one, for this closed off front room.

Enough food for, probably, two or three weeks to two months, possibly, of driving meals.  Sandwiches, deserts, fruits, and a side else.  Not every night, but... options.  Perhaps still a dinner out a week?  Just... because.  Oh, and some stuff for tacos.  Even tortillas which are supposed to be keto friendly, plus regular ones.  Oh, I need to get sour cream from the raw milk store.  The best!

Well, I think I'll go up and study a bit.  Perhaps a nap after that.  And let my partner know there is food.  Pretty cheap, but the stuff he likes.  Mostly stuff I can have.  Mostly.  Later.
