Up early.

Things to do.  Have to get going earlier today.  As well, have appointments coming up.  Early.

I have been fighting to get up, at all, lately.  Eight to ten hasn't been unusual.  Sleeping a lot, so it isn't as if I am overdoing things, sleeping too little, or not getting rest.  Still trying to tolerate medicine, and it is still high summer.

It looked to be cooling there for a bit.  But the heat is back.  To the high eighties and low nineties, with no rain to shake things up.  And, yes, on top of medicine, heat exhaustion is still a thing.  Glad my mom likes the heat?  Or so she says.  But she really seems to like to be out in it.  Where I just melt, fail, in it.

Just walking around, even with decent cloud cover, out there in the summer, I can feel the heat as if a giant magnifying glass was being focused on me.  Without clouds I swear I can almost smell burning while in the sun, me... burning.

I've been reading since 5:30.  Then writing this.  So up, but not going until a bit after six.  Coffee, a shower, some water and ice in the works?  Feeding Sassy.  I let her sleep up here tonight.  Still?  Up far earlier than usual lately.

Mom had me set her alarm for seven, just in case.

Well... on to things starting for the day.  Later.
