Up at about 4:30.

Nothing fancy.  Ended up going to be a bit earlier, a bit before 19:00.  Which... was a good thing.  Electricity went out and there was little draw or pull to do anything else.

It got up to 80, ~27 C, again, yesterday.  Two days in a row.  Not a bad thing, this time of year.  And, so far, that doesn't feel too horrible.  But, in the afternoon, we had a windstorm drive through.  Dropped the temp to 68 in very short order.  Just a little reprieve though.  As shortly after, I believe the temp again climbed back to 80, but then started falling almost as soon as it got warmed again.  A weird day.

It is 51 this morning.  Though it may yet drop a few or a lot of degrees.  I'll check in an hour or two.  Usually truly is the coldest right before dawn.  Not always, but... what... 60 to 70 percent of the time?  Something like that, at least here.  Birds are really singing out there.

I left the house open, mostly.  Being so warm in here.  No fans going, so it got up to the mid 70s.  Starting out this morning, it was 72 to 68 upstairs, cooler in the main.  Down here, it was 66 in the main, 68 up front here.  I even figured out how to keep the front door ajar just a bit.  Won't always do that, but once in a while.

Blood sugar is just coming down, slowly, from eating sweet corn.  That drove blood sugar up to 360 or so.  Today it is down to 236 or so.  Yes, I suppose I forgot about that.  Won't do it often, but will still have sweet corn a few times a year.  I'll just have it in season.  Though, to be absolutely honest, the sweet corn I froze tastes as good as any storebought frozen on the cob sweet corn.  It... just doesn't freeze well, on the cob.  imho

Oh, I made a roast yesterday.  What I thought was a roast.  It was thin sliced roast, meant for making jerky.  But, it roasted well, and was rather tasty, to be honest.  Roll with them punches, especially when they are tasty ones.  As well, I had sardines for a later meal.  Never that shortly before bed again.  Oh, I brushed.  It just doesn't seem to matter.  That... smell... really gets on everything.  Kippers, not sardines, that is.  Kippers are a bit larger of a fish, herrings.  If I had thought it was another fish.  All resources showing are from Europe, and they... don't speak English for shit.  Especially the English, to be frank.  :p  Still, that is what it is showing, but I have seen it called a different name, just can't remember.

My bad.  I had to dig, and peck, and look.  Finally?  Mackerel.  But, that isn't kipper.  Could it be kippered though?  A... quick double check?  No, not really.  Even if they do that process, it is just called mackerel.  So, yes, kippers are herrings, sardines are sardines, and mackerel is mackerel.  Just... so you, and I, know.

Which is best?  I think, for the most part, they are all the same.  Better with bone in, tail on, for nutrition.  But tail on is a pain to chew through.  I would like to find more with bone in though.  Steamed, as tiny bones, they become very edible.  And add a slight crunch to an otherwise slightly soggy, slushy, food.  The thing about these fish is they are too small to farm, so aren't as toxic.  Are smaller, lower on the food chain, so again are less toxic.  And, they offer all the benefits of any other healthy seafood, but at a much less cost and are shelf-stable, more so in a basement.  Just for the edible iodine, you can't beat the cheap and storable nutrition, if... you can handle the smell, taste, texture.  Which I can, just best not right before bed.  I kept thinking... never... mind.  :p  I brushed again, first thing.

Looks cloudy out there?  Yep.  But, the temp went up?  It is more like 52 now.  Strange.  The cloudcover is keeping the warmth in, I guess.  Without what brought it bringing cool with it?  Odd.  But, not bad I guess.

I did get messages, from the electric utility.  The first one, at 20:41, called to ask if I knew what the problem might be?  Strange.  I had called an two hours before, to check on the outage.  Hadn't asked for updates.  Got them anyway.  Then, received a message at around 21:41 saying they had fixed the problem.  With the windstorm, it was just branches taking out a line, though that might have 'sploded hugely, a transformer (or two?).  I... don't know.  Didn't hear anything, but wouldn't necessarily have heard anything.

On to gaming.  I have an alarm set so as to get Sassy fed.  I cleared her litter already.  I have dishes soaking.  Some bigger jars, eating utensils, bowls, and such.  A bit of refreshing, and a bit of catching up.  I'll check to see if laundry could be done.  Take the towels out and fold them... maybe fluff them a bit first.  Trying to get back to work, but still so... off.

Ah, something funny?  I would have thought gaming would have increased my heart rate, and caused disturbance?  Nope!  It actually improves things.  Just sitting here, which isn't really a choice?  When that happens, that is when my heart is bad.  Hmm, though I can't always play, or do other things.  So, maybe, it isn't the gaming that is helping, merely that when I am better, I can game.  When I am in worse shape, I can only sit?  I just don't know.  But I do know I have just lately been able to... do anything.  As I am doing more, my stats are better.  In the main.

I'll see if I can push things, but... who knows.
