Still 80, indoors.

Nothing I do seems to alter that.  I tried half a dozen variations.  Nothing is changing the temperature an iota.  On the good side, whether it reaches 103 or just 97, it stays well below that in here.  Not cool, in here, just cooler.  Day and night 

I opened the windows upstairs too.  Wondering if that might help.  Or make it worse?  Zero effect.  Mom has her ac running in her room, I think, 24/7.  I would charge for that, but I approve.  It also does help by buffering one of the South rooms.  Plus, I do want her to have a place for refuge.  She is a summer girl, but... we all have our limits.

She had started watering last night.  I woke just in time to be grumpy, and about that.  But she didn't realize I had watered yesterday.  I... calmed and we talked... just about that, for now.  I checked Jasmine's water while out. Gave her some attention.  It's good for both of us.

Fed the cats through the night.  Had some food.  Made a pot of rice.  Four cups dry makes... a lot.  Good for a week or two, for two.  Will add it to my otherwise meat and veggie keto tacos.  Perhaps make a burger gravy for dirty rice.  I... check blood sugar closely when eating these things.  As well as my normal occasional spot checks.

It did get below 60.  The lowest I saw it was 58.  Though I think it had already started rising.  For as much as I can trust the given readings though to.  I don't, it's simply all I currently have.  Hmm, I need to get a mechanical thermometer, that can be calibrated.  Or two.

Look, I know.  She can be pitiable.  She is nearing 84.  She does work hard and well.  She has a lot of things going for her.  But that lying and such just won't cut it.  Honesty, even if it comes with a fight or fuss is vastly superior to me having to guess.  My guesses are dark. 

And, some things aren't up for debate.  I don't want to be a jerk.  But if push comes to shove, that is how it will be.  Ugh.

Later, or more likely goodnight.  And good morning.
