Burned out.

Not sure why though.  It has been cooler, but nicely so.  I think it hit 80 today, or close.  But... that's nice.  It only got up to 74/76?  Or so.  Didn't have to turn the ac, didn't feel the need, have a want even.  The upstairs was 68/69 when I went to bed, 66/69 when I woke.  Nice.

I had good sleep.  I had food, coffee.  I got a shower in.  I made it to town, to pick up the steaks.  Which... weren't there?  A day late and they are gone.  But, I could and did reorder.  I won't fuss.  And, it was my fault.  Half dead or not, the world had rules.  I'm... not upset about it.  Plus, the steaks I reordered will be fresher.  Never worry.

Life has been quite pleasant, but I am have trouble living it even so.  And, I keep forgetting medicine.  In this case, putting it in a dispenser won't really help.  Forgetting would happen wherever it is.  I'll... try to get back to it.  I did get storebought milk, while in town.  For kefir.  I'll pull the kefir grains out, get them thawed, and...  Actually, they will thaw in the milk.  Though I need them to be thawed enough to drop out of the little containers.  Shouldn't take long.

The first few doses will be tossed.  It just isn't... good.  It takes a while for the kefir to really get going again.  I can't wait for that to be back on the menu.  I had to quit for the summer.  I couldn't keep up, well, in the heat.  Even with the ac, the heat is... oppressive.  Especially for us old ill guys.  I simply couldn't keep up.  On the good side, I did get all the jars and jugs cleaned and ready.  Lids on, so they will stay clean.  Though, I will put in the 160ish F tapwater.  I keep it hot.  But, at that temp, for ten minutes, it will pretty much sterilize.  Here is one quote "150 F for 20 minutes", I'll take that.  At 160, it will take less.  But, twenty minutes is fine.  Put them in a dishpan, flood them inside and out, with their plastic lids in tow, and... that should do.

Oh, another problem, was I wasn't able to wear compression socks.  The heat just... I couldn't.  Even with the ac.  Not sure it was just the heat.  Wearing those, for a while, tests one's fortitude.  They are harsh.  I just couldn't do much, medicine, compression socks, food.  It's been a slower summer.  But, fall is coming around.

Someone at the store was complaining that it was 80 outside.  I had to laugh.  It isn't uncommon for it to be 90, even 95, this time of year.  I just told her 80 is pleasant.  Didn't tell her that I'm three quarters dead, with a bad heart, a flooding body, and else, to boot.  Kids these days!  It really was nice, and I had compression socks, slacks, and two shirts... a t with a short sleeved semi-work, semi-dress shirt... buttoned up, too, if only the t was tucked.  She got a bit butthurt.  Though, she was chunky.  Then again, so am I.  Bleh.  :p

I got grapes and grapefruit.  The first of each month, I look around for something... different.  Fruits, usually, though sometimes worse, say corn chips and salsa, guacamole, such.  Cherries, if they look good, grapes, oranges, whatever looks the absolute best.  Grab a bag, or several, or such.  Even a few little plackets of berries.  Just... a... treat, usually a better one.  Variety, and such.  Finishing the grapes.  Will hit grapefruit the next few days.  Yum.  All sugar, but... yeah.

On to waking and polishing.  Grapes, that is.  A shower at some point.  I did open up the upstairs, turned off the ac.  The downstairs had a few windows open, I opened the rest upon waking.  Will open the front door.  It's 58 out there, so not terribly cool, or cold anyway.  But, pleasant.  Be well.
