Today is DGD2's 4th birthday. She's SO excited! Birthday party at 5PM is about 15 miles (guessing) away. I'm trying to decide if I should try driving my car there, or go very late, with DD1 and her wife, after they get off work. I will drive to their house too, but that's only a few (5?) miles away. I wish I knew what to expect, when my transmission goes out. I really don't want to be stuck on the side of the road somewhere, in the heat. Temps today are supposed to be over 100°F! Yesterday reached 99° -100°, depending on who you listened to. That's too hot for this old lady. Enjoy your day and stay cool! I had a transmission go out on a car, at least the going forward parts, and I just coasted to a stop. The car would rev but not move. I did still have reverse and was in a neighborhood so I was able to reverse it and park in front of some random peoples house. Fortunately I was also only 2 blocks away from my brothers house. This is exactly what I'm worried about! Did it happen out of the blue, or did it slowly get worse and worse? Mine is a problem in 1st gear, as far as I can tell. Did it just stop moving forward, after you stopped? Back in the 80's, Ex2 bought me a car with no reverse. That's my only experience.

I guess you answered this already, saying you coasted to a stop.
This is my fear.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts. My friend and his daughter got out of Fort Lauderdale an hour late, but they are in flight to Boston. The flight to Europe is at 5 p.m., so they still have a decent layover.

Ugh. This party place is SOOOO boring, unless you're roller skating. There's not even a place where I can sit and watch. And being an introvert, I'm not talking to anyone. I can't wait to go home. Although I'm sure it will be more fun when she comes to open presents.

Hello peeps! We are done with the rain here other than normal afternoon showers. I did get out and mow the lawn before a brief downpour an hour ago.
Hoping to get out to run later this afternoon.

Good Evening Kids! It's going to be another weekend filled with activities, but that's ok. If I can get through this one, we'll hopefully have a bit of much-needed rest. Hey, at least I can dream, right? I am NOT impressed with tomorrow's forecast, because I've got to drive to a family member's house, and I HATE driving in heavy rain.

We are scheduled for wind and blowing dust tomorrow. I'm also on call this weekend so pretty much plan on just staying home and indoors.

We're in the midst of a heat wave. Over 100°F again today.
I'm at DD1s, dog sitting, while they're at a concert. I'd be hating sitting outside in this heat.
I dropped them off earlier and will pick them up later.

We got some yesterday but for a shorter stretch than originally predicted. Of course, the bus was late, so I had to deal with the storm for part of my walk home.

Top of the Saturday morning peeps! Rain coming here, too, but sporadic and nowhere near as heavy as past days. I did get out early and weed the front yard.

Good Morning Kids! Not happy with Chewy right now. I was supposed to get a delivery of dog food yesterday, but it got pushed back to today. I'm praying it arrives before I leave for a family event. I do NOT want to return home to either 1. a stolen box or 2. a very soggy box filled with dry dog food.

FedEx does the shipping. When mine gets delayed, it is at the FedEx end, not the Chewy end.

I dropped them off earlier and will pick them up later. Take water when picking them up! That would have been nice, but I didn't. It was 1AM and we weren't far from their house. I just needed to get them away from all the drunk people! Someone drove a HUGE long motorhome and a LARGE group of people went together, in it. At the end of the concert, they were drunk and couldn't figure out how to get the side extensions to slide back in. So she decided she, could drive the motorhome, with them extended out! 😳 Then they decided it would be smart to let a 15yr old, with NO driver's license drive this motorhome that's as big a city bus, since they'd been drinking. 😵 Oh, boy. Just get in the car and let's go! Some of those people were really drunk.🙄 I hope they made it home safely.

It's HOT!
"On Friday morning, temperatures did not get cooler than 78 degrees, shattering the previous record that stood for 106 years.
This comes on the heels of Salt Lake City registering its first 100-degree day of 2024 on Thursday."

I tried to earn a Darwin award today. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/sad.png) While getting the living room ready to paint I set a hammer on the very top of step ladder. Then I went to move the step ladder and the hammer slid off, hit me on the head. I decided the living room wasn't getting painted today. The headache is mostly gone but the top of my head still feels tender.

Ouch Sharon, that sounds positively painful. I baked a cake for DH for Father's Day tonight, and I'll frost it tomorrow. Poor guy has to work all weekend. Tomorrow it's supposed to be both humid and miserably hot, and we might even hit 90 degrees.

I cooked a quiche. Had my 1st tankard of tea. Thinking about taking a ramble on the beach or just getting on my bike and doing a few turns in the neighborhood. (But I still have to change out of my PJ's)

I went for a walk this morning before it got too hot. It was pleasant. I'm definitely creaky. The doc says 5 times per week is best. I'll strive for that.
I have a 5K walk in July. I can do it right now but I wouldn't be in the best of shape for it.
I got done with a course of antibiotics last week. I'm drinking kefir to help replenish my gut biome.

Since my dad is gone and my car isn't running well, I'm staying home today. Maybe I'll get some laundry done, or clean my floors.
I miss my dad and older brother. (Some others too.) I feel sad today.
