I surrendered.

It did get up to 55 out there.  It was 52 most of the day, but right here at the end, the thermometer rose just a bit.  Inside?  It was 60, until I shut the place down.  It... only got up to 62, even with the sun out a goodly part of the way.  It's... like fall, not spring, or winter, by how I sense things.  Very strange.  I am tired of... being cold and tired.  So I tuned the thing to 72.  Ugh.  I'll enjoy just a bit before going on to bed.

I am having a bowl of chia, kefir, and hemp hearts.  I... made more than there is any chance for me to eat.  Forgot how much chia swells.  First, just adding hot water with the chia.  Then adding hemp heart after that had cooled.  Then mixing in a cup or two of kefir.  If I can eat half, or two thirds, of it... I should have the bulk for an easier bm in the morning.  And, if it works as it has in the past, I shouldn't have a blood sugar spike.

Ah, and blood sugar... last I checked it was 170.  Not as low as the 163 of yesterday, but... still trending downward nicely.  From now on I will only be testing three times a day.  Fasting, first thing... then two hours after my meat meal (or first meal really)... then as I am going to bed.  Not tonight, as I wanted bulk after what I had thought was the end of the night.  And, it is too late.  But, in the future, I will eat both meals earlier in the day.  Live and learn.

Time has slipped by.  It is already 19:00.  Posting time is at odds, because I have been getting my meal going, ready, and also eating it while writing.  Still eating.

Something... something.  Someone might be interested in renting.  For me, that... means some things.  I will need to get out.  And, that means some other things.  Travel, possibly.  But... that means a whole bunch of other things.  So many things I feel a bit... overwhelmed.

First, I will need to apply for a passport.  Next, I will need to learn how to ride a motorcycle.  In some countries I am considering, motorcycling is the only real option, for personal transportation.  There are... taxis, trains, tuk-tuks(or such), plains, and... other things.  But, none of those are much safer, they aren't cheaper in the long run, and... such.  For me to make that work, I need to be licensed on a 500cc bike, or bigger.

To that end, I have been looking around tonight.  There are... possibilities.  Beyond obtaining a bike, if used I will need to find a mechanic who is willing, and able, to look it over.  I may talk to my bank about financing.  As well, insurance.  As well, find protection for the bike, if it doesn't come with what I consider required.  It will be dropped.  There isn't an option.  Even senior riders know this.

Some people must think, though, that their bike is made of gold.  Having 30k on a bike is... pretty much... it's life... from a buyers perspective.  Way overpriced.  Looking for a sucker.  I've seen some priced correctly though too.  Of course, some are at dealerships.  I have to guess used bike salesmen are even worse than used car salesmen?  I've had... some luck with some.  But I wouldn't bet my life on it.  And, with a bike, that is very much what I would be doing.

Meh.  Anyway.  I had best get going.  One thing or another, I have some things to do.  But on to bed, first, I think... very shortly.  I may put the furnace down to 70, and keep the door to the upstairs open.  Perhaps I will sleep better that way.  I'll... see.  Perhaps it was just too cold, after acclimating to some warmth, for me to sleep?  I'll find out.
