Going to have to push things. Things to do soon. It was 77/77 upstairs, when I woke, which was part of the problem. Heat does that. I really thought it would be another cool day though. Technically, I think it should have been, should be, one. Overcast. With a decent breeze going? I think there was, or is, a breeze. The curtains were fluttering, at least upstairs.
It was 72/77 down here. Odd. But... no, just odd. I shut the door between downstairs and up, this time. Seems to make an odd difference. It is 78 outside. I thought it would be in the 60s. Nope. That's the problem. Though... is it cooling, or heating, out there? I'll find out in an hour or so.
A shower, when I wake up. Then laundry. I'll wash the pants I have been wearing. Only wear them three to five hours when I rarely do go out, so I keep them around for... a while. It's time. Either by how long they have been out, or how many times I wear them, I eventually decide it's time... before they get ratty. I have plenty of pants washed, though. In airtight bags, ready for tomorrow. Or I'll just wash this pair, and take it? Hmm, new color. I have desert brown or darker mustard to choose from, for summer. I have an iron grey for winter, lined... not for summer. Not many choices. I... don't need many choices. Mostly black tshirts to go with them. If I have branched out some, in tshirt color... for rare occasions, or whites for undershirts.
Kefir, first thing. I also checked the fermenting kefir. It'll be ready to change over by early evening. I just need to eat enough kefir to make room for it. If this keeps up, at this pace, I'll cut my kefir production to two jars, until it cools off again out there. Today, and possibly tomorrow, may be kefir and coffee only days. As the weather begins to improve, I am hoping to become more active.
As well, I am hoping to begin losing weight again. I weighed in two days ago. At 162, that's... as good as I could expect with the inactivity due to heat. It's still nearly thirty less than what I had been running. And, a good start to begin losing another, say, twenty to thirty more pounds. Kefir and meat will do it. Toss in vinegar tonics after meals, and... yeah. If I can be more active, on top of diet, I lose well enough. Sometimes I lose crazy lots of weight. Well, and being better able to manage water retention will help. The summer makes wearing compression socks a bit rough, and I have to be careful with the water pills. Until I have a more regular supply. Those I have the fewest. Want them more for bloody lung than for swollen extremities... decisions, decisions... would much rather breath.
Coffee next! I do like my coffee. Would much rather have fresh, ground myself, but haven't been able to get out. Yes. I DO want to get out. Just haven't been able to. Getting to the hospital will be a trick, and on time? Crazy. But... okay. Will do what I can. Ugh. I have wanted fresh coffee for... a month? Either burn out the few times I dug my way out, or forget, or it got too hot (or I did). Fresh coffee, so wanted. It's just better mud water, but it... is better. And smells good. Freezedried, for today, it is. Hmm... could I try to sneak out this evening, as a dry run for the future? Maybe! After showering and getting clothing ready.
Oh, out of curiosity, with an old tester albeit, and right after eating kefir, I did a blood sugar test. So... right after a meal. It is 177? Not... bad. I haven't been testing. Ran out of everything, and lost the newer tester. Just have an old one with test strips which don't time out. No guarantees on the readings, but there are no guarantees on even the new ones. Only four or five readings, over several days, might bring some clarity... and fasting tests included in the mix. I have enough to check in two hours. From after coffee. Curious, now. Oh, but I am not going back on insulin. A) that isn't insulin, b) can't lose weight on it, c) looks like I am doing better just by diet, d) I hate pills (or etc), hate them. Later.
