Well, it's about bedtime.

I did warm, finally.  And stayed warm most of the day.  So much so I turned the heat off in this front room, and a few hours later reduced the furnace.  To 66?  Maybe not, but did kick it down.  Now I'll turn it down much more.  Oh, and with it being so cold out, I opened the door to the upstairs, in hopes it will warm a bit.  Will leave it open.

No more food, or drink.  Water, but that doesn't count.  And not much of it.  Oh, wait, I did have some potted corned beef on crackers.  Blood sugar dropped down to 107, from a fasting high of 148.  A forty one point drop is nice.  Sure, I shouldn't go off keto, let alone carnivore.  But some days... it will happen.

I received an email from the woman with whom I had been working on the loan.  It seems the guy at the title company hadn't received the memo.  He was trying to get her to have me give him the names and addresses of the debts owed.  I explained, to her, that I was interested in neither sending those checks myself, or having his company do that... for costs on top of fees.  And that I had already explained this.  Was he that desperate for a few more dollars?

I thanked her for her assistance, on this and the loan in general.  And wished her well.  Strange that we work with people on these important, big-ticket things, only never to see them again in life.  So it goes.  I try, in any case, to leave on good footing.  I can't help with the fellow.  I told him my intentions, and wishes regarding those checks.  He ignored me and tried to go around me on this.  No.

Sassy has been well fed.  And, finally, I am keeping up on litter, checking it twice a day now that I can get in there.  As well, using the reverse osmosis countertop device regularly... now that I can get in there, and now that it is set up and not spilling out.  It was just one of the filters, and no major issue.  It just hasn't been threaded correctly, and/or tight enough.  All good.

Oh?  Don't order water in a deep freeze.  Though, it wasn't cold when I ordered it.  It just took them two weeks to send it.  I am also aligning to quite amazon prime.  Nothing is two day, as was the promise.  If ordering over a certain amount it's usually free anyway.  And... some other things.  Well, and they now charge for their streaming service, at least to keep the monkey laden ads off the screen.  Blackmail, quite literally.  I don't use anything else that service offers.  Well, and it's well over a hundred a year now, even if paid in full.

Stop making it worth the price and people will stop paying.  Besides, I'd like to do more legwork shopping, when I want or need something.  Not... so much even for a better price, though just as often as not that can be found these days.  But just to get out, look around.  Can still use amazon, in an attempt to focus the hunting.  But even their star rating system is fouled.  Between companies buying off bad ratings, to the system not allowing bad reviews, to simple algorithmic cheating of the system.

As well, they have become weaponized in how they do things.  Everything from how long it takes to send things, to billing to their card, to other gimmicks.  They... asked for it.  So... they get it.  I'll take my business elsewhere, or at least become a much more proactive buyer.  If the goals it to cut buying, by a lot.  My friend thinks I can't do it.  Then again, he didn't think I'd lose weight, quit alcohol, get a loan, or... much else.  When he is wrong, he is very wrong.  :p

Well, on to sleep.  Good day, afternoon, and good night.  Hmm.  I may try the big hot water bottle tonight.  Bring the little ones down tomorrow, too.  To use in the front room while it warms up.  So cold first thing.  But I don't want to leave the heat on either.  Electric was $86 last month.  I don't want it higher.  Yes, probably, a good lower bill.  I'd like to keep it there, or lower yet.
