Good morning. I guess I finally wore myself out enough to sleep through a night. Didn't wake up until 7:30. Just now finished my breakfast.
Noel, so glad to hear the transplant went well. Hope a great recovery continues!
Rk, hope you get done what you planned. Have a good day!
Kat, I admire you for trying out new activities and associations.
Just Samantha, a bumble bee passing gas.
You always manage to make me laugh!
DaysLady, big congratulations to Jenna!
Woohoo, Jammers, big day indeed! Hope all goes smoothly and you can get a little shut-eye, though you will probably be too excited.
Robin, based on experiences I've had and observed, of dealing with delivery people and contractors, I would say yes, your new patio IS beautiful. At least it's a step in the right direction and you know the materials are they when the workers do show up.
Manda, it's sad that Gena is having to got through this, and my heart goes out to you as you have to deal with it. But oh my, how blessed your little girl is, to have you taking care of her and keeping her best interest in the forefront! Lately I've had to interact with some people in the area, where children are involved, and I'll just say there are no words for the conditions under which many kids are existing these days. We've heard these things on the news for a long time but I've become increasingly aware from a closer perspective, of how widespread and terrible it is. Parents like you, who persevere through the adversities, need all the support and encouragement available. God bless you, sweet mom!
Our heat advisory continues. In view of what Noel and Robin endure all summer, I'm reluctant to even mention it. It's going to reach "only" 103* today, with heat index of 109* but after the relatively mild spring/early summer we had, this feels pretty hot. Or maybe in my old age I'm just less able to tolerate it. I've lived through summers much hotter. I'm just thankful I now have the advantage of being able to stay inside more than I once did.
Poirot, how strange, about the itching near the cold foods. I wonder if there is something in the environment inside the store or if it is just from being extra cold. About the shopping places, I saw a report just recently about how malls are on the way out. I guess all the online shopping is finishing what Wal-Mart started years ago--in putting other stores out of business. I haven't been to my closest mall (also 65 miles away) in a few years but I know the Sears store and some others have closed there.
I should be used to it but at this point every year I fight the blues until temps stay around 100F. My memories of August leading to Autumn are fresh and filled with lovely Indiana days.
