The thing I wanted done first?

.
.
I didn't want to work on the phone until I dealt with g-account.  So... I got that done, but stalled doing it.  I figured it was going to be a mess.  One way or another, this would get hung on that.  Troubles, most likely.  I just wasn't up to digging into that pile of manure.  So... I didn't get going on the phone, or else.  I just gamed, while avoiding.

Finally, I got to it.  The solution set was created in... five minutes?  Half an hour max, with some running around that ended up not being necessary.  Literally, five minutes was what it took in actual work time.  So... when I go to set up the phone, I'll have access to the account.  That... should cut a lot of the problems.  Finding a phone that will work is the next issue.

Someone thinks...

.
.
She is speaking in tongues.  I am definitely hearing.

But, does she speak true?  According to some.

Awake since almost six.

.
.
I know I checked the temp, outdoors.  Can't, for the... oh, right.  It was 41.  I had meant to check again, before it started to warm, to see what the coldest temp might be.  But missed it.  Here at a quarter after nine, it is 63.  Not a bad temp.

With everything closed up, only the circulation fan on the furnace going (it set to 68 but not needing to run) and a fan going upstairs for air flow, it was 72 in the main, 73 near me, upstairs.  And down here it was 71 in the main, now 73, and 68 up front here, which it remains.  Very nice.

Some of it.

.
.
I did get the phone and pad returned.  I was so mad.  Oh yes I was.  After spending that much time, effort, and such, to get them started and walked out the door, like a kid on Christmas, only then to be hounded for more money, more access, all the time.  To have things activated on my phone that I couldn't shut off.  Lots of problems.  From day one.

Now, as soon as I got ready to take it for a return?  The very day before?  The thing that was stuck on my phone, I couldn't turn off?  Went away.  Far too late by then.  I was just hoping they didn't have a trick, or clause, or such.  But, no, they took it back, both of them.

Is one of my clocks really off?

.
.
I was sitting, out there.  Doing my gaming.  Then looked at the time.  13:30 already?  And, even then, time passed since.  I thought I'd better do some things.

A call was made earlier.  A change with the wound clinic.  No, she was pretty snippy.  Besides reading here, and other things about reading here, I don't just leave a message, and wait for them to call back.  I'll wait.  And do.  This time she actually answered before two hours went by.  I thought she was going to time me out with lunch, on that one.  I... think she has gotten direct employer feedback, from my feedback.  Yes... I know you read here.  *wink*  *grins*  Still, that is done.

Up early, down rather early too?

.
.
I can't remember, exactly, when I went to bed.  I thought it was either 17:30, or 20:30?  I just... can't be sure.  Later, though, if I had to guess.

I shut everything down, but kept the furnace on to 68, overnight.  After having warmed the house to 74 yesterday.  Everywhere else was 72, which was okay, waking.  Sure beat the cold from the day before.  That one window makes a vast difference.  Though, being this cold this soon, is taking me by surprise.  I think the warmest I saw it, outside, yesterday, was 74?  I think so.  May not have posted it.  By the time I returned from my trip to town, it was down to 70.

It must have been 20:30 when I crashed last night.  I think it was 17:30 when I checked the temp, out there, after returning home.

I did turn the furnace up, because 72?  A few days, to a week, ago, it was running 77 in here, 73 to 75 in them main.  I still needed the ac a few times this last month.  Which... was odd that I didn't need it more?  This, to my mind, has been a cool summer.  But, I have acclimated greatly through diet, and figured a few things out about the house, how to run it.  Then, adding the new window, which isn't quite finished, but still?  That has changed things drastically.  I'll bet the furnace will run half what it has in the past, or less.

Oh, it's 68 in this front room, 37 to 38 outside.  Very cold for still August.  No heat up here, and I have it partially closed from the back of the house.  Hotter in the summer, colder in the winter.  I really need to get the living room finished, then put the computer station in there.  Just... leave these front cold rooms to themselves.

Yes, it is cold.  But that it was 72, with the furnace on 68, everywhere but this front room (which doesn't get heat almost at all)?  That was... impressive.  I'll bet even the upstairs stays much warmter.  I may run a very small fan up there, to bring heat up through the vent, or make... air flow to get it up, or such?  Worth a shot.

A few things of business today.  Tried to complete one of them yesterday, but the secretary at my doctor's office ignored the call until it was afterhours, then just dropped the call.  I don't do messages.  Those never work out.  I have time, I will wait.  Tough cookies.

On to a fatted coffee, and a bit more gaming.  It'll be a bit before offices open, and things can be done.  Good morning, day.

Hmm? Okay.

.
.
Just... not sure if someone is suggesting, or asking.  Or it's a random.

But, okay.  Or... sure.  Resemblances.

Just a few tunes for my own... sake.

.
.
Women, often, invade my space.  Sometimes, though, I take my own journey.

Musical, in this case.  Just a bit for me.  Aye.  Mostly.

Wow!

.
.
I finally did close everything up.  And turned on the furnace, to 72.  I gamed for a while, a goodly while.  Making it through the game.  Doing the parts I didn't like, wasn't succeeding at.  But... making it, this time.  The clues are impossible.  I just don't understand some of what they are suggesting, to do, to go.

Then I decided to look around the web, and post.  It seemed rather cool up here.  And it is!  It's 68, up front, on the 29th?  That's crazy.  So, I checked outside.  It is 60 outside, at nearly 11:00?  That's absolutely... unlikely.  Oh, the sun is out.  It's shining.  For what little good that is doing. Wow.  Just wow.

Ah, that's it?

.
.
It was 72 everywhere upstairs, 70 in this front (usually the hottest) room of the home, and 68 in the main area downstairs.  Oh, and 36 outdoors?  An hour or two ago.  Crazy.  With no fans or else going.  As well, I am closing things up, windows.  To try to keep air in.  Warm air.  Well, the upstairs I keep open, or it might get too warm.  Okay, there are a few windows open down here, too.  Hmm.  But not as many as there were.  And I may close up the rest.

What I can't believe is that it is still getting up to 80 out there.  That's... warm.  By any standards.  Especially for me.  If that is almost cool, to me, these days?  Very strange.  Age?  Illness?  Getting better?  Is this what "healthy" feels like?  Tolerating up into the 90s without too much difficulty, but not being able to handle the 68 to 72 range?  Or... am I just having to acclimate?

Awake for a while.

.
.
Since midnight?  Three?  Something.  Just drifting, since then.  Gaming, initially.  Then to making a fatted coffee.  Reading what the internet portends, suggests, or such.  No, not so much the news.  The news doesn't matter.  You are told what you want to hear.  I am not.  They don't dare speak the truth.  If I want the truth, I'll tell you.  Which I do, from time to time.  Hated for it.  All good in my book.

Sleep was good.  Getting cold though.  It's 71 up here, in the front room, in late August?  Strange.  It was 74 near me, 75 elsewise, when I went to bed.  Didn't check when I woke up.  Cool enough to not use ac, if I did use a fan.  Delicious sleep, honestly.  I may go back down in an hour or three, try to just nap, then get a shower and makes some calls, do some business.  It is right between 45 and 46 out there... here as I just start to write.

Midearly afternoon.

.
.
It is 80 out there, last I looked.  Might be well up by now?

I keep making plans, and being totally unable to carry them out.  Tired?  Weary?  Something.  Not exhausted.  Everything else but that.  More as if in an insomniac snap.  I can't quite wake up, or go to sleep.

Shorter days.

.
.
The steak, this time, was excellent.  I was very careful with the time.  It wasn't as thick, or large, as the ribeyes.  So while half was eaten, it was closer to a third of the ribeye by surface volume, and less thick as well.  Still, done correctly, it really was delicious.  Plus, not so rich.  So I cooked it for only five per side, plus time searing the edges.

I love it when it works so well.  The last of the steaks, from the same package/group was not so good.  I was hoping this one would be better.  It looked like a mixed group, not... from the same batch, to be honest.  I wish, now, I could tell the difference.  Then again, I think this is the last of those?  I think so.  They were... edible, even the lessor ones.  Just not superior, as some where of the bunch.

Trash and else out.

.
.
I... remembered.  The tasks, the day.  I really needed to clean the litter boxes.  Yeah, they had gotten terrible.  It's rare, of late.  It is, if nothing else, high summer.  I am, possibly for that reason, burned out.  While I feel good, not too hot mostly, or else?  I... may be burned out on summer.  Though, to be honest?  It feels as if it is already getting cold?  In any case, I am tired.

I would like to figure out how to get more food in my face.  Part of the reason for the recipes.  I really need more food!  I'm not willing to go too far into regular keto, it doesn't work for me.  Lettuce, of some sorts.  I have heard from other carnivores, and carnivore based doctors, and second hand from such, that lettuce would be okay.  The rest?  Pretty much needs to be meat based.  Though, I could try breading, using fried pork rinds?  Something to... add just a bit of crunch to pork chops.  Figure out how to bring burger back in, maybe trying grass fed, finished, beef, local.  Can't trust industrial beef.  Who knows what it is, where it is from, and such.  I don't even trust local beef, completely, either.

Just past midnight.

.
.
Well, when I woke.  A bit of tinkering since.  Decided to kick out a post.

With a fan going only, it stayed cooler up there?  I had a feeling that the ac wasn't needed.  It wasn't.  I initially had difficulty sleeping, too cool even with just a fan.  I really wanted to get up and turn it off, I just couldn't.  One of those nights, no... ability to push out of bed.  REALLY wanted to shut it off.  Simply could not push out.  So, I buried myself into the blankets and, eventually, drifted off.

Recoverd, mostly.

.
.
I really wondered, there for a bit.  Why did it take so long to recover?  I just don't understand.  I just know I no longer need heart medicine.  Or... for the moment.  That was really quite bad.  It felt like dying, and I would know.

I had hoped to get to a few things, but that won't happen.  Still too tired.  My pulse and such have improved.  Even so, I am still so very tired.  Oh, and the weather has cooled.  I think it was just 76 outdoors, when I looked, a bit after 13:00 or 14:00.  With no ac, or fans (even turned off the ceiling fan), it was 71, near me, when I woke shortly after noon, was it?

Up at almost 13:00.

.
.
I turned the ac off last night, and the fans.  All of them.  It was getting cold.  I was freezing when I finally was able to crawl into bed.  When?  Midnight thirty?  No, it was around 03:30.  Give or take up to twenty.  Though probably in the later areas.

Sleep was difficult.  Low bp, being cold.  I set my blankets up, crawled in, shivered like a cold wet small animal until the exhaustion of that dropped me into a deep dark sleep hole.  But it became a wonderful thing.
