Awake, finally. Well, I've been awake for a while now. Two hours up? Moving slow, it is a cool day. The main of the house is down to 66 F. Strange, but pleasing. When I awoke, the upstairs was down to 68/69... differing between the floor level near where I sleep and table level on the west side of the room, 69 downstairs in the main, and 70 in the front room. With the computer going, and me in the front room, it is up to 72, while the rest of the house has cooled greatly. So... very strange.
I had thought summer heat was here. Not so much, or not yet. Certainly not today. I don't mind at all. I seem to be... fine... mostly... with... whatever.
----------
Oh, received some small good news. My electric bill had been $95 a month, on averaged pay. That has dropped to $65. Why I don't know, other than less usage. If that doesn't make sense. Unless the price of electricity dropped? The notification didn't have enough information for me to determine that, or I didn't see it. Then again, I was shocked enough by it that I... may have just totally missed it.
----------
Yes, overcast. But that doesn't always make all that much difference, as to temperature out there. No, the temperature, if it is cool, has to do with a front coming in, at this time of year. Basically a spring/summer polar vortex... or whatever they are calling these things these days. As mentioned, I don't mind. Sleep has been a bit cool, but my body is tolerating things well lately.
----------
For the first time in... a month, two? Maybe three months? Fasting blood sugar is below three hundred. By a point. But I'll take it. It has been running 330 or higher, fasting. Eating storebought food, and I think the alcohol based bitters keep ketosis from burning. Strangely, though, still losing size. Then again, I was eating so little that... yes. Odd how those things can both happen... increased blood sugar while still burning fat? Bleh. Working on it.
----------
Oh, I finally purchased Croc's. I have flip-flops, with an over the foot flip rather than a between the toe one. The thing is, they have no real support, and don't stay on my feet well. So, I wanted to try something else. They seem expensive, for what they are. Though, after a bit if of looking around, I found some that are less expensive. Priced by size and color.
I tried the 15's. And have one pair of those. But... that was a bit big. So, went for 14's. I think that is mostly right, if still slightly large (for bare feet, or even with compression socks). Still, I think that is as small as I can go. Might buy another pair. Why? Well... if you wear these kind of shoes daily, you need to switch them out or they will get stinky (if I had to guess). But, with three pairs (even if one is a bit too big), they will have time to air out nicely.
The only bad thing is, to find the less expensive ones, in my size, I have to take what colors are offered... which seems to switch. Though, really, I don't care. They are just for in the house. Though, this recent pair is silver. Which... looks sort of nifty. The bigger pair is pink. Easy to find for rheumy eyes. :p Same with the silver. Think I found a darker pair in my size, finally, after a lot of looking, that is cheaper too. So will be order those next. But... they will... have a tendency to get lost.
I just wanted shoes, for in the house, that aren't too hot. The flip-flops stick to my feet, the bad type of plastic. These seem to both contain my feet, especially with the "four wheel drive" option employed (the strap, pushed back to engage the heel). And, they are far cooler, in they they don't stick to my feet, plus have a lot of airway, and the bumps in the footbed, allowing air even there. At least, so far.
Problems are one trial at a time. With four or five things being worked out, and money being what it is, it takes time to get these things done right. Working on them, each, plodding through. Later.
----------
Well, not sure where to go, or what to do, beyond. Food would be good. Oh, best get medicine in. Eggs, fried? If it isn't raining. Though, even if it is, frying eggs in the kitchen isn't too messy. Later.
