A few things, finally.

.

.

I checked upstairs, first.  Yes, the ac had to be turned on.  Cooler than the front room, by nine degrees, but at 81 it's too hot to really work.  Definitely too hot to sleep.  So, I closed the windows, turned on the ac, and came down to do a few things where it is cooler.  It's 75 to 73, in the center or back areas.  Nice, really.  Almost cool.

Oh, and I am a bit surprised.  I used to keep the house closed up, because I thought... it would all burn, if open.  I have been experimenting.  To be honest, I think it is a lot cooler open, even up here in front, than it ever was all boxed in.  The ac upstairs wasn't on today, so that wasn't a part of it.  And, yes, I had the door to the upstairs open.  Two fans going, up there, for what little that does?

I filled a bucket of water.  Remember, I prefer to water the critters, including Sassy, from before the water softener.  I have the r.o. to take out stuff, they don't.  And, yes, the rabbits prefer that water to house softened water.  As does Sassy.  Strongly prefer... so it's a win-win.  It just means I have to hump a five gallon bucket from the hydrant three or four times a week.  Check.  Will do.

So, I refilled the waterers.  I just refilled Sassy's water yesterday, so... won't bother today.

Then I filled the bottles, of r.o. water.  I may need to refill the reservoir.  As well, while at those things, I rinsed and dried the microgreens growing columns/trays and set up two of them.  Alfalfa and broccoli seeds?  Something.  I watered them incorrectly, but figured out what I was doing wrong, and how to do it right for next time.  As well, I swished things around, to get the seeds separated better, again.

Then I put up dishes.  What were dry and ready.  I wanted to get to the dishes, rinsing.  I just ran out of steam.  I didn't even reset them.  Then again, I want to wash the freezer top off again, first, anyway.  Then I'll reset the rinse.  Set the alarm for an hour and an half.  THEN, get to dishes.  But, really, I will get upstairs, cool off, and do some work, or set up medicines, while the place cools.  I may experiment with a window down, to see if hot air can be pushed out with fans, and cooled faster in the process.  It's sort of surprising how things really work compared to how one thinks they do, should, ought to, work.

Well... at least I got to some things.  While it is 90, with "Lo" humidity, in this front room, it is down to 86 outside.  I am not sure when it started to turn around.  I can't remember when I looked last, but it was 92 then.  Did it get to 96?  I can't remember, but I know I saw it 92.  A bit surprised that it is already cooling.  Or that I am doing just fine.  Moving a bit more slowly, but... not crashing, hurting, dying, in the heat.

And, still... thinking.  Later.

Not terribly interested in talking.  At this point.  Choices.
