Reset Forty-Nine, Day Seventy-Three

For something like the fourth or fifth night in a row I let my phone battery run down, because the only thing on earth stupider than me is the bloody phone that gives no clear warning that it's running out of energy. While waiting for it to recharge I took an accidental nap, the second of the night (though the first was not accidental) and ended up even more delayed than I'd been by the initial power issue. I suspect that my loginess Friday was the result of my having made a batch of macaroni and cheese for dinner. I even put extra cheese in it. It's been a long time since I've made that, and I think my brain is not used to it anymore. Finding itself buried under an overload of carbs it just couldn't function. Not even the coffee drink I had earlier Friday could counteract the carbs.

I just augmented those carbs with a couple of cookies, which soon ought to knock me out completely. The heat will help them along. I totally forgot to open windows and turn on the fan overnight, and the place is sultry and stifling. I'll use a bit of air conditioning to try to catch up. I hope I stay awake long enough to turn it off. Leaving it on all day is incredibly costly anymore. Why do I keep running afoul of technology? It's a good think I don't drive. The streets of the mini-metropolis would be littered with wreckage and corpses. More than they already are, I mean.

Need to lie down before I fall over.
