Rather cool out there.

I almost wonder if I read the thermometer incorrectly earlier.  But... after thinking back on it, I am pretty sure I didn't.  Then again, it really only went down four degrees.  I suppose the extra cool, and the feel of it, surprised me.  It is 24 out there, and frost is in place.  Not a heavy frost, just a gentle blush of it.

More, the frost was the moisture, so that is all gone.  It was bone dry and chill in a way usually reserved for winter.  Well, and spots along the way in later fall.  I would say it's a bit early for this level, but... it really isn't.  I think.  It is neither too cold, nor else.  It's... time, or possibly, usually.  It is still 63 in this front room, and 69 to 70 in the main house.

Dressing more warmly is a good way to go.  I can easily handle 70, now.  And, when I crank it to 74 for a bit, I really feel and appreciate it.  At 70, some days, I still move a bit more slowly.  But I can move.  It is being off medicine, currently, I think, which is slowing my wagon... now that I dress more warmly.  I need to get back on medicine.

I did get a return call from my brother.  He is in really rough shape.  He can't eat with his temporary dentures.  The only thing they can do is grind the bone, which... has him on edge.  Some of his jaw bone is making it so he can't use the dentures as intended.  Ugh.  So... he keeps losing weight.  His blood sugar keeps diving.  Yea.  Danged kid... but nothing I can do for him.  And life, in our situations, is rough.  I think, actually, he is in much worse shape than I am.  Worse than mom.  I do worry about him.  Pray, for him, them all.  For good or ill, he has family around him.  That, too, is difficult.  But... it's... we all have our shoes, and crosses, whichever event we live within.  Amen.

Almost eight.  The stun still hasn't crested the mountains.  It would be light in flatlands, but I wouldn't live in flatlands for love or money.  Well, maybe for love?  Maybe.  I suppose even for money, but it would have to be enough to buy a cabin in the mountains, for vacation, as well.  Yea, we all have our prices, on some things, if mostly fiction.  Who could afford such a terrible cost for a fool's errand?

Well, onto something?  Hmm, how about gaming, while I heat the house in an attempt to get a shower before long?  Sounds good.  Well, and some tea.  Just tea.  Yes, I think that would do.  Later.
