Good morning! It's a itbeautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and already hot! Yesterday we set high temp records - but it's sort of irrelevant, because there were over 1200 records set/broken all over the country!! Wow, talk about a heat wave. And today will be even hotter, projected high of 107 (and it's usually 2 or 3 degrees higher where I live). It's a good day to NOT be outside!!
Yesterday: Even with the heat, some things have to get done. I did get my nails done (well, inside the shop was cool! LOL!); picked up a refill, and got change for the vendor show. When I got home the new a/c had already been delivered. By late afternoon it was all installed .. and set on arctic!! Wow, after 12 years, I can now use my oven in the summer! LOL!
Today: I have a vendor show today, and my grandson is going along to help out. During the show, he can go swimming. We're hoping the excessive heat will bring lots of people out, either to swim, to shop in the air conditioned building - or both! :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's going to be an extraordinarily hot day ... possibly as high as 106. There's a very real possibility we will be breaking all kinds of heat records this weekend, including highest ever recorded at the airport. Today should be mostly clear, but humid (giving us heat indexes of up to 115!)
Yesterday: I actually had a spurt of energy, and got a few things caught up. Unfortunately, it didn't last very long! :/! I went to town long enough to take grandson back again. I got the shower curtain and bathmat washed and dried them out on the line - took about 5 minutes! LOL! I also managed to begin getting supplies organized for the weekend.
Today: This could be a very busy day. I hope to sneak out this morning and pick up some refills, and *maybe* get my nails done. I have to finish organizing my supplies, and bag up some more samples. This afternoon a new a/c (window unit) is being delivered. That was a big expense not exactly planned on - but with record breaking heat, it feels like a necessity. We have an old one that is too small and on it's last gasp. I will have to get someone to come help get it installed, but sure do hope the weekend will be more comfortable. I might even bake brownies (for samples) tonight! :) My grandson is coming back again to go with me tomorrow to help out. Lovely!!! :)

Good morning! It is a beautiful morning! I went out very early to get sprinklers reset, and it was so very nice. Today will be hot, mid to upper 90s. The humidity will stay low, and it will be sunny. The heat is building up though - dangerous heat, all over the country.
Yesterday: I got a few things done around the house, though never as much as I would like. DH's appointment took way longer than it should have, and then we had a few more stops to make in town. (DH bought me a pretty - lovely copper spinning sprinkler!!). We came home briefly; then while he took a nap, I went back (different town) to pick up our grandson again. We went to the grocery store (HOW could I have forgotten what it's like to feed a teenage boy??? LOL), and got lawnmower gas. He finished mowing, and then got out the tiller and helped my friend finish the last garden area to be planted. I got tired watching him! LOL!
Today: I'm not even sure how today will go. Grandson and I tentatively plan to get the rest of the trash from the porch all bagged up; and finish decorating the patriotic tree. I'll take him back to his dad this afternoon, and hopefully I'll run the vacuum when I get home. :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright and cool out right now. Today will be mid 80s, clear, and very comfortable. Watch out! Triple digits in the very near future, so we'll try to enjoy today!
Yesterday: I ended up spending most of the morning getting appointments straightened out (overlapping just won't work! LOL!). The day got an early start between the phone and some workmen repairing some of the siding (with no warning, of course!). My grandson mowed part of the grass, but we'll have to get more gas. He also helped me take a huge load of recyclable cardboard as well as trash to the dump. I spent a little time in the yard with a friend, admiring the gardens and wondering what to do with the huge ugly stump left in the yard. (BTW - just in case you were wondering - spray paint doesn't work very well on pine bark! LOL!)
Today: DH has an appointment with the dialysis nurse. While in town I need to check with the drug store again on refills - seems like some things are pretty low. And, I have to replace a sprinkler that got run over (sort of explains why one section wasn't getting watered! LOL!). Tonight I'll get my grandson again so tomorrow he can finish the grass. :)

Good morning! It is a beautiful morning! The few days of 90s we had are gone (although they're coming back with a vengeance in a few days); today will be a gorgeous sunny and upper 70s to low 80s. Even the humidity is gone. Last night we had storms move through, so lots of lovely rain!
Yesterday: It ended up being a fairly busy day, but all the important things got done. Meds were picked up, groceries bought and put away. The satellite dish was reinstalled, and the supplies delivered. And, I managed to wash up some dishes, put away some laundry, and do a quick declutter - barely! LOL! I did have a nice quick visit with a friend, too bad there's not enough time to do that more often.
Today: This might turn out busy too. My grandson is here and will cut the grass (and I'm catching up all his laundry); and the "gardener" may come and work on the big veggie garden since it's so much cooler. I'm supposed to go visit a SIL later - she has blueberries for me. In between all that, I hope to get the house in better shape! :)

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a little overcast, but not too bad (yet). Today will be low 90s and humid; and there's a chance of storms by afternoon.
Yesterday: Among other things, my ipad wouldn't let me send the newsletter. Probably something silly I did wrong! LOL! Anyway, after a long frustrating day of waiting, DH finally got to come home. He's doing ok; though we both got here really tired - you just don't *sleep* in hospitals! LOL!
Today: We are now back to our regularly scheduled newsletter! :) I have to do a bit of "catch up" running around - picking up refills, groceries. Supply delivery is due this afternoon, and the Dish guy is supposed to come too. After over a week with no TV, we're ready for it back - hoping the weather doesn't interfere with that!! :)
FYI: Christmas is 6 months from today! :)

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Wow, summer really blew in full force! After several weeks of relatively mild weather, now we're Hot!! Today will be in the low to mid 90s; plus partly cloudy, so the ever-present chance of afternoon storms.
Yesterday: Most of my day was spent sitting around waiting - for doctors, nurses, therapists (who never came), PAs, NAs, and assorted other people. Some of the rest of the time I wandered around hospital halls - just to keep my blood circulating! LOL! DH is doing better; the infection is almost completely gone. He has to build up a bit of strength, but we're really hoping he'll go home tomorrow. We're also taking advantage of the situation to have a nephrologist checking on the dialysis daily and determining if any changes are needed.
Last night, fairly late, I came back home (in a storm - not fun!). I nuked something to eat, and me and the cats crashed. Literally. Maggie finally did what I've been afraid of all along - she fell into the fish tank!!! It only has a couple of inches - but she was NOT happy!! LOL!!! (she's fine, just a bit smelly right now! LOL!)
Today: It felt SO good to get a shower this morning! :) I've got laundry going, and just as soon as I get that done and a few odds and ends around the house, I'll be heading back to Duke. The only obstacle right now to DH going home is being able to get up and walk enough to get around the house when he gets home. Since the therapists don't seem to be available, it'll be myself and a nurse or aid walking with him. So, I want to get there as soon as I can (just can't figure out how to make the washer and dryer go any faster! LOL!).
