Around six thirty when I rolled out, give or take a decade. It is 78 upstairs, near where I sleep. If I could get venting for the attic, that would fix that. But I... at the moment, don't mind. Downstairs is 67/66, cooler up front, probably even cooler in the kitchen. Outside is why, which surprised me. It is only 44 out there? On July 2nd? Okay. But... yes, cooler. Maybe not freakishly cooler? Though... maybe. Well, that it rained yesterday, to my notion, at this time of year, is freakish.
Cold, but I am... almost... beginning to adjust. Not to the cold, or the heat, but both at once. I can adjust to almost anything. I just... need some time. I am one of "those" people? Or... something. Not absolutely convinced I am a people, but there is no legit app for that. :p
Blood sugar was... okay, at 168 fasting. Not where I want it, but it takes a while when you joke with it, toss trash into the furnace, and such. Gums the works a bit. Even if I think I am probably keto, and burning fats at least lightly if not more, blood sugar isn't a direct analog. It follows like a herd, not like a dog being called.
Each has their place? Hmm. Or? I like women, and some of them like me too? :)
Thinking out of the box. If... about the box? Never mind.

Anyway. Up and at it. Sassy has been fed, taking in electrolytes and morning water. Coffee is brewing. Plans for a bite right off, another third of the sirloin I cooked yesterday. Plans for a shower, since I didn't get one in yesterday. And... thinking of hitting the living room today.
--------
I am... really moving on getting things ready for the refrigerator. And doing well generally. I am hoping to begin pushing through, beyond that, as I go... and after. Life is improving to the point I may be able to begin working on the house, even when it is hot. And I do have ac, upstairs and down, should the heat become stifling. But, with my newfound heat tolerance, general health, and strengthening body, that... doubles down on things, or more.
So, yes. I may be able to get back to things, for a while. And, maybe longer. Oh, I know you have heard this before. But you haven't seen eighty to ninety pounds off my frame before. Weight is going up, slightly, but too I am gaining muscle. That... will happen. And, in the short term, it is an excellent trade off. I have gained, in two weeks, an inch to inch and a half on my arms. So... yeah. Doesn't sound much, from 14 1/2 to 16... 16 1/2... depending on the exact moment or something? That's... a lot of muscle. Still looks anemic, but... it's... something. And, in two weeks doing nothing unusual, but eating more protein in the form of meat. And it's not done. Though, the pain is easing. So... might have to do a bit more active to get more results? Time to dig into the house.
--------
That steak was really good. Just reheated, in the microwave, since it doesn't have much fat. And, really, just to slightly more than warm. My first 66 grams of protein down. I'll have the other third later. I won't get to 155 grams of protein today. Just... can't eat more. Am having a dose of collagen, but that's only 20 grams of protein? Or so. Hmm, but, by net not gross, that puts it to 152 grams? Okay. It does add up.

I did catch the final mouse. Still not sure if I got two or three before it. But, late yesterday, I saw another. But it wouldn't, initially, go near the trap. I feared it had seen the others, and so was tipped off. But, too, I notice mice don't like to feed while I am active. They wait for me to sleep. Well? It fed.
Whether tipped off or not, it's stomach led it to the trap. This one didn't nearly escape. So? I think that was all the mice. I still have the trap set up, and will leave it right there, for now. More various traps on the way. Plus the drop traps around. But... I really think I have, at least for the moment, managed the mouse problem. If that will be a permanent thing hereabouts. If I had a way to do it, I'd encourage cats to live here. But, once they managed the mice, they'd move on. It's... difficult to... managed that well.
--------
Oh, something strange? Lately? Day traffic, out in front of my home, has been impossibly busy. Coming and going all day. Never a break. Which is a bit unusual? To my mind, it is. However, night traffic has almost completely stopped. I very rarely hear traffic at night. But a year ago, even six months ago (so in winter even), night traffic was horrendous. A vehicle or three every half hour. Now? One or two vehicles a night? I don't know, just... noting a strange change in traffic. Why? No idea. I live, nearly, on a rural cul-de-sac sort of arrangement. It does "square out" to some mains, with smaller highways, but... Most traffic should be local, or a few truckers avoiding Logan, or a few other runs like that (bigger local city/urban type zones). Well, and the ag trucks, to pick up milk, and such. We have three or four, or five? dairies here locally.
--------
I must say? It is a beautiful morning. It's to 65 in this front room? Still only 58 as it approaches 09:00, outside. And, I am used to the cool, again, and can still tolerate the heat. So... am doing very well.
Meds in, electrolytes nearly down, coffee almost finished, breakfast in. Plus. finally heard a break in the traffic, so I could sneak out and get the bins pulled from the roadside to their little place by the tree. Life is good. Yes, I'm... a bit... paranoid? Avoidance prone? Such. Said. And so on. Plus... it's a bit of a game. It's a little life, but it's my little life.
Now, on to a shower. And to some more work down here. Then some calls, and other business. I have been looking at tea pots. But all the even "good ones" (All-Clad, Viking, all stainless) are made in China, and end up rusting inside. Which... means those aren't stainless. You can't buy quality, at this point. So... I'll... see what I can find, from elsewhere. There are Japanese, but they don't have whistles. *sigh* And, there are other issues with those. I am looking for European made, but even that is no longer easily found. Well, some are found, but they have severe quality issues. Trying to find something I trust to heat water, that I trust to be stainless, and such. As is, I may just stick to the stainless pans I have. Oh well.
Later.
