Hmm, another day.

.
.
It is 80 upstairs, 78 in this front room if probably going to get warmer with me here and the machine on.  The rest of the house is around 73, for now.  Keeping things open allows enough airflow, that with the stone and masonry main, for now, it stays a bit cooler.  Amazingly, I slept quite well, and have for days.  Even using, if just one, though a thicker one, a blanket.  Nothing fancy, but sort of amazing... to me.

I slept well, comfortably.  It must be that blood sugar and the rest is at least moderately controlled.  I has probably been two months since I started on the lower dose, and at least a month on full doses again.  Insulin has been hit and miss, if even pills have been to some smaller degree.  But... it... must be enough.  Last year I tolerated the heat better, until absolute exhaustion set in, from it.  But before that, at 73 and higher, I was shot.

I haven't even set up the ac's upstairs yet.  I will set them up.  If I probably won't be using them until I really need the cool.  For now?  Let it go.  I simply can't believe this.  Even last year, it was touch and go until I got used to the heat.  This year, it just isn't a problem.  And, it came up pretty quickly.  Over a week, it has risen from the high 60s to the 70s and finally to 80 today.  So, it's not like I have had a lot of lead time, or a slow load up time.  I must simply be healthier.

Blood sugar was a little high at 150 fasting, if the weekly average is still only 123.  I had some dark chocolate, with peanut butter, before bedtime.  I had just a bit too much.  From reviewing the packaging, and what I ate... the chocolate is 11 grams of carbs per three blocks, and I had four... so I'd call it ~15, plus about a tablespoon of peanut butter, which is 4 carbs per two tablespoons.  So, roughly, ~17 carbs, right before bed.  I wanted to see if the chocolate was still good.  It has been in the freezer for... a year?  Two?  Oddly?  It is... still quite nice.  Molded into foil, sealed, very good still.  And, yes, that will do for a snack, just back it off... say one square, two if I really must, and an half teaspoon of keto peanut butter split between the two.  Check.

Cold water, to start off the day.  Coffee is getting ready.  I did get a shower, for what little that means.  I may take another, shortly, then set up dishes.  I need to reset waterers, refill Sassy's water, and do some other fussing.  I think I can.  Chores... yes... indeed.  Chores.  A bit rough and tumble, but far less than usual.  Heat is not a bad thing.  I feel more like a crinkled soot, being ironed out by the heat, than by a suit that is shriveling up in the heat.  It is a very different rodeo this time.

I best at least get to coffee.  Then, maybe, set up breakfast.  Ground chia, plus unground hemp hearts?  Something like that.  I do have to add more protein, vegans really don't... get it.  And, add fats.  But... I like the filling of it, without the carbs.  It's... something.  And, not bad.  Perfect?  There is no superfood.  Say it with me.  There is no such thing as superfood.  Although, if there was, it would more likely be sardines, liver, heart, even tongue maybe.  Those are closer to it, nutritionwise.

Oh, right.  On to breakfast and then... a shower, chores, waterers, Sassy's wants and needs.  Ugh.  Good day.
