Couldn't sleep.

Just too warm.  Strange, because it really isn't?  It was in the low 70s down here.  Currently, near the computer, it is only 72.  Must be 68 to 70 in the rest of the house.  The ac has been running upstairs.  It should be cooler, though maybe not all that cool.  The upstairs, when the world heats, is doing good to get down to 73.  But that is in high summer.  I don't think it is quite there yet.

It rained again, before I woke.  After?  Not sure.  Had to check.  If for no other reason than to just... get up, on my feet, see if I could do it without too much trouble.  Well, it took my breath away, but I was able to get to it quickly.

The water that was out there is mostly gone.  No new, from the looks of it.  It is 52.  Pleasantly so.  It is 71.8/9 down here.  Even with things open and the fans going.  Summer is definitely back.  However, I am managing the warmth much better... again this year.  Probably better than even last year.  If, too, it hasn't been hot for long.  It'll wear me out quickly, on top of being ill.  Meh, fine.

I did play the game a bit.  And... watched vids.  Mostly regarding various disasters.  Some were about mountaineering.  Yes, if I were healthier, I would do that.  The risks?  Better to die young, learning, doing, teaching, challenging the world and one's own body?  I think so.

As is, though too, I am challenging everything.  Just by continuing to live beyond what kills a lot of folk, every day is another great risk.  I will eventually fall, a final time.  Amazed I haven't.  Every day, really, I am in the death zone.  We'll see if the medicine buys a little more time, or if this is the end.  Ah, but... at least I am near the mountains.  I may not be able to be up in them, but I... can see them.

Other things I watched include the Labonese port explosing, a couple of towns buried by massive landslides, and such.  There is often hope.  Though, sometimes, for no good reason, no one survives.  Though, with mountaineers, to my mind, that is half the gig.  It isn't testing death, it is... asking for it.  I... used to ask for death all the time, demand it.  And all I have to show for it is a lousy heart from a vaccine, most likely.  Assholes.

I do wonder how many others thought there was going to be something more in the crackerjack box than a one-way ticket to a bad heart?  Or other lethal, or near lethal, condition from it?  I'm guessing many.  I wonder how many have died without realizing it was "medicine" that killed them.

They say, in Europe, a lot of the doses were placeboos.  What makes me more curious is... how they decided who would get the real (poisonous) shots, and who got the saline?  Was that random, or did they pick who would live and who would die, based on social pages, politics, finances, or... such?  You don't think the placeboos were an accident, do you?  Really?  Not a chance.  And, if it happened over there?  It happened here, too.  It's just that America is no longer free.  You'll never get the real story, unless people start hanging, and some are offered amnesty for the truth.  Though... even then?  We may see, if the government can be saved, pulled out of the clutches of the evil which holds reign currently.

Yes.  More gaming, for now.  Just... leveling up until I can sleep.  Not pushing the edges, or trying new stuff, just running earlier areas while getting better in them.  Hungry.  Just not sure I have anything to eat.  I did buy heritage tomatoes, not organic but different.  They had a very nice sale.  I also have lettuce, but no dressing.  Hmm...  Ah, I do have plenty of roast, and onions.  That would be good.  Roast and onions, heated up, and sliced tomato on the side?  Sounds good.  And I can play while that warms.
