Good, I suspect.

It was already up to 88 by 09:30, right?  I think so.  And, here it is, 17:32, and... it's at 87/88 yet.  I have checked several times.  If it was warmer, I didn't see it.  Though, always slightly possible that it went up and came back down, if highly unlikely.  It is 80 in this front room, with the fan going.  At about 73 in the main area, living room, and kitchen?

The ac is going in the main downstairs area, and upstairs.  Probably in the 70 to 73 range upstairs.  I like to have it cooler when it stays warm most of the day.  Even the 80 temp up front, with the fan and ac's going, seems cool?  Pleasant enough.  More so when I can cool off in the other places, should I need a little time off.  It's only when it is 80 everywhere, or more, that it will get to me.  I need a cooling spot, even if just for moments.

Just one fatted coffee today.  A few tablespoons of cottage cheese.  I would guess three or four cans of water, and probably another before long.  All medicines, save one dose of antibiotics.  I missed it this morning.  Just took night medicine, and a dose of antibiotics.  Will take the missed dose shortly.  An hour or two.  Yes, it's almost doubling up, but I want to take all doses of that stuff.  But I don't want to stay up too late, long.

I would love some steak.  But I just can't eat.  Blood sugar is 117, was an half hour ago or so.  It was 144 earlier.  Fasting?  I can't be certain, but I think so?  Weighing in daily, is the new goal.  If I can find the bp cup, I should start checking that as well.  Weight I expect to be a slow mover.  Even going up a bit from time to time.  So testing that daily is more an ego management thing.  I am hoping to see a slow downward trend.

I must be honest, I fear that it isn't just fastfood joint which are crashing food quality.  I do worry that grocery stores, of all sorts, are beginning to provide questionable foods.  Being allowed to do so, perhaps being required to do so.  I fear fish offerings, so those are pretty much off the menu.  The sirloin steaks I just purchased seemed... odd.  Not the petites.  Those aren't great, but they seem okay.  The ribeye, too, seem strange?

Paranoia?  Not so much.  Just, I know what a steak should taste like, how it's texture should be.  And the ribeye tasted... odd?  More by texture than flavor.  The sirloins just looked a bit odd, when I was repackaging.  At the store, I just looked at size and price, if not exact appearance, I was satisfied.  I'll have one of those tomorrow, see how those are.  Not... inedible, just... a bit odd.

Oh, and amazon is being strange.  Taking it's dandy time with delivery, even sending items.  Something is really odd about them.  Things that were supposed to be shipped quickly end up being delayed for a month?  And they are pushing delivery to the very edge of promises, and then often more.  Something is going bad for them.  Sourcing items, sizing.  They must be fleeing China, but not having enough other places to get items made.  They are between new shops and old.  They must be in some sort of serious trouble.

If, too, I think they are trying harder to get out of China, since the assassination attempt failed.  Were they party to it?  Doubt it.  But they had probably been told not to worry about Trump's particular issues with China.  Didn't know what, or when, but that it wouldn't be a problem.  Now... it's... a problem.  Yeah, I watch, listen, see.

I'm guessing they don't think they can steal this election too?  The numbers must be even worse than last time?  But, yes, amazon realizes that... the past is not proof of future performance.  Or... it is, but not with the same criminals in charge.  Yea.  And, everyone is fleeing China.  Even China is leaving China.  Russia only needs just so many rounds of various ordinance, rockets and parts, and else.  And... only has just so much oil, and else.  My guess is China is stocked on oil, and what else Russia can offer.  Now collecting gold, since they have been given the gold pricing gig, or for now.  Going to be blindsided on that one.

People think gold will save them.  It could, but in the modern controlled economies, pm's are merely used as bait and switches.  The stonks die?  Go to pm's, steal em' blind in that market.  Force them into cre.  When those go tits up, switch to small caps, or silver, or...  It's one hot potato after the next, with no real way off the marry-go-round.  They are all losing money, save the 0.1%ers, or 0.01%ers.  Who just make money, for sell to everyone else, at extreme usury percentages at this point.

Only if all systems fail will pm's have any static wealth value.  Until then, it's just another way to rob the little fish.  Every form of wealth collection and store is currently rigged to absolutely crush any but the big fish.  Been that way for a while.  And, no, you aren't a big fish almost no matter who you know or what you think.  Which is why they won't offer real worth for even property.

As much as I'd hate to see the fed drop rates, for the real value of the dollar?  Fed drops will increase inflation by a lot, or a lot more.  It would make it more possible to sell my house for it's right price.  Currently, the only buyers are cash buyers, with absolute no interested in negotiating, since they have few competitors.  Certainly no competition from anyone who requires a loan.  A pox on both their houses?  And mine too, it seems, no matter which way it works.

Yes.  Life could get complicated, difficult, and brutal.  They can pull your insurance, or crush you with taxes.  There are one or a dozen ways to steal your home, or endanger you out of it.  And they don't want to pay you anything like a fair price.  So... I can't say I care, other than to get out, with half my butt intact.  Right?  Innit?  Gah!

Almost bedtime.  Just want to stay up another hour, then take the last antibiotic.  I'll have to have another water, too.  All good.  Goodnight, most likely.
