Down late, up late.

I just couldn't get to bed.  Never did sew.  Just... sat, looking through the internet.  I made it to bed sometime after 02:00.  Perhaps as late, or later, than 03:00, but... maybe right after 02:00.  I just can't be sure.  Awake at 12:30.  I woke earlier, around 07:00 and 08:00, but just... rolled back in.  No choice.

I turned the ac down a bit.  And am leaving it lower.  With me up there, and through the morning, the temp got to 75, near me.  With just one ac and one fan.  That after the sun was up and heating the place, by noon.  It had been cooler earlier.  Strange, but I'll gladly take it.  It was the warming that made waking possible.  I would guess it was closer to 72 around 07:00 and 08:00, which is possibly why I couldn't wake.

Chores, shortly.  And the remaining roast and leftover veggies, shortly as well.  Not sure which first.  The next things are getting the freezer washed off, then resetting dishes, to do those before long.  Then, after that, a shower, and more dishes.  Laundry?  Not sure I have enough of any type of load.  Could do a general load, I suppose?  I'll have to check.

Sassy has been fed, and litter cleared.  It is warming, up to 82, with "Lo" humidity inside, 75 upstairs, and 88 outside.  Good enough.  But it will, of course, be getting hotter.  I like the upstairs.  When it is 70, or even 72 up there, it is too cold to work in.  Sleeping is fine, more or less, with enough blankets.

It think lunch, first.  The roast and veggies, and a fatted coffee.

I'm not sure what it up with deliveries, but... even when they have stuff at the local station, it doesn't necessarily get delivered until the exact day they said it would.  In spite of having things going out that day.  I received two packages today, while there are two or three packages still at the local warehouse?  Are they out of workers at the place?  Have they been firing, and not replacing workers, so that they simply can't load up the trucks?  Not sure, but it's... odd.  

And, I still have an item... not sure when it was ordered but was shipped the 27th.  There have been no updates.  I couldn't cancel, but I put in for a return.  The thing is, it has to be here before it can be returned!  Something is really going wrong.  The fuel costs have to be nearly crippling.  Someone is paying for that, and, so far, it hasn't been me.  So far.  Though, it won't ever be me.  If prices go up, I just stop buying.  I can barely afford what I am buying, but see no choice with what all is coming.

Expect people to be sent home, from many jobs.  And, other, realize they can't make enough to afford the gasoline, and else, to go to work.  It... just doesn't pay.  Until things change, they will keep changing for the worse.  You'll know it hit bottom when nothing is open.  We'll see about diesel.  And the required additive.  And parts for monitoring that.  Long-haul trucking, and short-hauls too really, stop?  You'll... know it.  Won't even be able to get gasoline.  What do you think delivers that?

My guess?  They'll, whoever has real power, pull the epa regs, and parts, and just go back to the way it was.  With the SC's recent decision, that may not even be stoppable.  It was a regulation created by bureaucrats.  I think those things are about to be rescinded in droves, this may just be a problem that fixes itself, and many other things.  We'll see.  Either that, or expect to starve.

Interesting times.  Not times chosen to live through, but... definitely interesting.
