I did a trail run this morning -- about four miles (always hard to tell by the Fitbit; I have to depend on the signage at the park) - did scrambled eggs and turkey sausage for breakfast, cleaned the bathrooms and stripped the beds.
Will mow the backyard later. Much later.

Things are heating up here. It is 79 degrees at 8:30am. We are forecast for 104 degrees today. I'm going to see if my well will hold up to do a little bit of watering before I lose all the plants in my yard.

Good Afternoon Kids! (Just barely.) Thanks for serving up brunch, NancysSummerSip. I'd better stick with fruit, or fruit & yogurt, because we're STILL eating leftover food from the 4th of July. My scale is officially being mean to me.

My scale is officially being mean to me. I panic shopped for good reason. I did similar I think last weekend when my friend had about an hour to help me out. My TJoes shop is almost nonexistent a week later. Haven't been on the scale in a while, but it's not good. I have been overeating to survive at work etc. for months.

I mowed the back yard and edged the fence - needed a lot of Gatorade after that. Did treat myself to my homemade frozen yogurt after dinner. Yum.

I've been watching and sleeping/ napping to The Twilight Zone Marathon, all day. I did take a shower and dress and I did my dishes.
Watching "over the air" TV, is a whole different thing, than cable TV.
I bought 2 new TV antennas/receptors, thinking they might work better. But one arrived and it requires a connection to wifi, to use it. And I don't have one. The ad I saw before buying them, didn't mention that.
My other antennas are okay. I just thought these new ones might be better. They're no good, if I can't use them.
Buying everything online, leaves lots to be desired.

Good Morning Kids! Since I hadn't gotten any callbacks, I called in again to the air conditioner repair place, and they'll be here first thing tomorrow morning. So, one more night battling the heat, then hopefully everything will be fixed.

I'm not cooking tonight, as I don't want to do anything that heats up the house. I picked up some sandwiches, which I can pop in the microwave. We've got veggie sticks & other cold food. I just hope the nasty heat stays away a few more days.

If they don't have the parts for whatever is needed, I may need to plan places to bring DS to where there is air conditioning. Like maybe the movies, the library (if they're open--they have shorter hours here now). I hate hanging out at the mall on weekends now, as there are issues with teens. (No, I'm not an "old fogey". We're getting more problems with large groups of kids looking for trouble here.)

It's not like we live in the South anymore, so it could be worse.

Popping in to say hello to everyone!
I was doing banking on the computer and forgot about my steeping tea so it has a bit of a bitter edge to it.
I ended up tweaking my back/left side Sunday and it's still not happy with me but slowly getting better. Weather is supposed to be really good in my area for me to get outside and deal with stuff later this week so that is in the plans.

Go get some physical therapy, or at least a massage if the pain doesn't settle down.

It's SO nice having a working air conditioner again. The only problem is, we went without for so many days that I've set the thermostat for higher than usual, 'cause I feel cold. Weird, I know.

Mine is set higher than usual too, after it not working. I've been significantly cooler, since my heart attacks. Weird.

Yes. I'm okay. Thanks. My health is being monitored more closely now, than it's ever been (except in the hospital). It kind of makes me crazy.

Sucks, but better too closely then not closely enough at our ages. Someone two years younger than I missed some warning signs. Serious heart stuff. Got stents. The after-stent story freaked me out. So, I am a bit worried about me in addition to my usual historic issues like sinus infections into lack of sleep ... and worse. Crestie is mostly hanging back in the cage in his worried about Opti position. He's barely acknowledging food, and completely ignored a plant with bright pink flowers. Usually he would have tipped it over at the very least by now.

Good Evening Kids! I was busy with a bunch of different projects today. Thankful for my air conditioner, but I still haven't readjusted to having one yet. I woke up horribly stiff this morning.

DD and the kids came over last night and helped me can green beans. We got 21 pints done. It feels good to have that job done. The well stuff is still ongoing but hopefully the well drillers will be out some time on Monday and then the well pump guys can come in. We had to go to 450 feet to hit a good pool of water. I'm on call this week and it's a good thing they didn't call me overnight last night. I really slept hard and sound and not sure if I would have heard my phone. I certainly didn't hear someone having zoomies across my desk in the middle of the night.

Wow, another person who cans. I suppose I would learn to freeze beans if I had a big enough garden and got enough bush beans to do so. What varieties' did you plant?
