Four done, four to go. I think I need to ice my knee and hydrate more before completing the rest. Weekends I usually do more like I did laundry earlier which was more exhausting than usual because I used two different laundry rooms because of the dryer situation. So, more stairs than usual. I looked at the care plan drop down and zeroed out what I completed. Looks like it wants me to click the begin button when I start too.

I do, but not with water in it. LOL You talk about needing to hydrate more, a lot. That's how I stay on top of my liquid intake. I finally found a water bottle (stainless steel cup) I like, so I bought two and I can always have one with me.

The weather has been great here today! I don't say, or think that very often. It has been in the mid 70's all day, with the sun shining. I like it!

And I slept badly last night which might be why I am weaker than I expected to be today.

If you kept a water bottle within reach, all the time, it would remind you to take a drink/sip, every time you saw it. Maybe that would help. Then you'd have one less problem to deal with, all the time. Just a thought. I like having a lid/cover on my drink, so bugs and dirt don't get in it. Plus it's double wall insulated, so it stays cold for hours. I bought some with unicorns on it, this summer, because it can go in the dishwasher and has a loop on it, for carrying. People are used to seeing me with my cup, so I don't even think about it, I just take it with me and have a cold drink, when I want one.

Wow, that must be some cantaloupe, Sharon! The humidity here is STILL oppressive, and it's after 8 pm. Reminds me of Flor-i-duh. DS had a seizure this afternoon, which probably has to do with the heat & humidity. I do push him to drink more water. Typical guy, as he doesn't always listen.

Good (early) Morning Kids! I'm up before DS to try & get a couple of things done before he has to catch his ride to work. Our heat index is supposed to hit around 105 today, and we've got thunderstorms moving in tonight around dinner time. Kinda sounds like a Monday, don't you think?

I am supposed to buy a quilt from someone on FB today. But I need to go to the bank or cash first. She sent a message, asking if I'm still coming. I replied, Yes. What's your address, for pick up? Dead silence. I waited, then sent another message. Still silence. My bank is between her place and mine, based on what she told me. So I don't want to go, come home, then go again. It's frustrating.

If you do not hear from her again let it go. Lots of scammers out there. Here some folks meet at the mall or a public place like a library or a police station.

We are getting the heat index hits 105 on Wednesday. Going to look at tomorrow's weather later. I hope Th on is better. Maybe it could choose to downgrade to heat index hits 102 or 99?

Sorry, I used to do a lot of Freecycle and Craigslist. Sometimes it may be less scammy and they just want absolution for not wanting to sell it or selling it to someone who will be there sooner than you agreed on. She said 4 o'clock but now I've decided I don't want to wait past 3 o'clock so I sell to someone else. You may know all this, but FB scares me and while FB marketplace is the new Craigslist, I expect it will be even more scammy than Craigslist was. And as flaky as some freecyclers. My area of CNJ. Yours might be better, IDK. Today just has been a flaky scammy day so I have been on guard.

I got some good stuff back in the day TMR but I also drove out of my way at times only to find out they gave it away an hour before I came, since they got nervous. I got into the smartphone gig late, and the anxious smartphone users need lots of assurance. On the other side I would give away things and have them close by on the property and have no shows. Some I think had rides fall through, but when it came to food or certain things, I wasn't that invested in making sure someone got it.
The best was when people got gift sets and did not want to throw them out.

Good Evening Kids! I finished up my latest pile of paperwork, and just finished scanning & emailing it. We got through Round 1 of our storms tonight, and had some very dark clouds & heavy rain, but didn't have any damage here, and the sky turned a weird shade of orange after the worst of it had passed us by. South of us folks weren't quite so lucky, as power is out & trees are down.

I'm glad you were mostly OK, and I hope the orange sky was at least at night.

The best was when people got gift sets and did not want to throw them out. This was not a free, Buy Nothing quilt. I paid for it. I like it. The woman offered to sell me matching sheets and a dust ruffle, to go with it. But I didn't need them, so didn't take her up on it, even though it was a good deal. I give a lot, to people in my Buy Nothing group, but have only picked up a few. A couple were stolen by others, before I got there. I'm glad you got some things you wanted.

I miss the days of Freecycle especially, but the people who ran the local group moved on from it years ago. There are other groups but not very active and none of them close by. Which is the story of many things I suppose in this world of change. Got to ready for my appointment. Looks like I will need to wait a full week before I can get blood drawn. Found out yesterday I am limited to one medical transport a day, which is tough when so much needs to be done. Thankfully PT agreed I could go only twice a week versus three times a week. The scheduling and expense is challenging enough right now. I really need to red letter my August calendar before month end. Certain unpleasant things seem to occur every year now, like my Internet provider going wonky and people in general going nuts the last two weeks of August. Things happen and go wrong so stuff gets scrambled. I better move as I hope transport is early. The original time I got was fine. If they come late today I will be late for my appointment.

Good Morning Kids! It is still nasty-humid here, but not quite as bad as yesterday, at least not yet. I was awakened by another storm this morning, but it passed by quickly.

I subscribe to the New York Times. This NYT quiz was in my email this morning. I don't know if non-subscribers can take the quiz. If it does not work for non-subscribers let me know and I will delete the post. How Much Do You Know About Your Dreams?
Scientists aren’t exactly sure why we dream, but they’ve put forth many theories. Our nightly adventures may help us rehearse threatening situations, work through emotions and process information. But, for all of the unknowns, there is plenty that researchers do know — and some of it may surprise you. How Much Do You Know About Your Dreams?

Well, I did terrible on the quiz, Tennesseer. Most of my dreams I'm back in school, and something weird happens, like I can't find my classroom, or for some reason I'm the one student who doesn't have a list of my new semester classes, or I can't get to my final exam for really strange reasons, like the room number was changed, or the hallway is in a new configuration. I don't know why my brain is stuck at school, as it's been awhile since I completed college.

I did average.
I have those dreams about grade school, junior high and high school. None about college. I can't remember my locker number and I can't find my locker mate.
However, someone from my working years will appear at the school or someone in my family who I didn't go to school with.
The composition of the people are so confusing that's when I often wake up.

The bakery I worked at for my first job after school appears in my dreams frequently. I am hoping that might stop as its being sold to a larger bakery sometime next year as the final cutover.
Changes ...
Currently 81 inside, outside feels like 90 with hot full sun. Not looking forward to tomorrow and I will be out for most of it during the day. Wondering if I should clutter my phone with the PT app or not. I deleted Rock Band from my phone to get the last IOS release to go through. I don't want to drag my laptop back and forth when I do some of the exercises, but I am not enjoying logging in and hoping it won't time out either.
Arggh. Need a ball or something that can be like a ball, currently using a pillow to do this inner thigh exercise.
