    WOW - you people are WAY too hot!! We've been having monsoon weather in CO. Right now it is 5:40 and 55 degrees. I think it was actually in the 70s earlier. It sure beats 20 and 30 BELOW zero!!!!

Glad your DH got the AC working.....Stay cool...... Have a great week.

Busy and hot!!!

Saturday, July 09, 2011

Got here last night and started laundry (towels and sheet) from last weekend!
Got two loads done last night. Got up this morning and started again-done 3 loads today and have one more I need to do!! After I started laundry I went out and mowed with the riding lawn mower. I came in to take care of the laundry and cleaned our bathroom. Went back out and did the trimming that need done. I have a elephant ear that was small but I managed to cut it off! We cleaned up and went to Walmart! We had steak and corn on the cob!!! I hope everyone has stayed cool and hydrated!! Enjoy your evening!! Love YA! emoticon

109 - Hot!!!!!

Friday, July 08, 2011

It got to 109 yesterday! My co-worker has an upstairs apartment and the air is out! She brought in her kittie while they worked on her air. They put in one window unit! It did cool one room. She had an appointment today and had to be gone this morning so Miss Susan is kittie setting here at work. She is such a sweet kittie. Having her here is soothing!!
I know not everyone is this hot, but there are other weather related issues, flooding, drought. I hope all out in Spark Land are staying hydrate and safe! Please check on neighbor, friends, loved ones! Do not just think they are OK, check.
Everyone have a FANTASTIC Friday and a Great weekend!! Love YA! emoticon Susan

    I'm glad your co worker was able to bring her kitty to work.
That is hot! It's only in the mid 80's here and that's even too hot for me to be outside.

    Wow - 109 emoticon too hot

We've had gorgeous weather for a while until today.

It's raining emoticon and thundering emoticon - I heard there were flood alerts around because it's coming down so fast.

My lawn, garden, flowers and tomatoes are happy.

My dog isn't.

Are You a FIXER???

Thursday, July 07, 2011

I am!! True confession!! I am feeling overwhelmed today I need to do my job at work, write checks and pay DH company bills, order meds for DH, put an ad in the paper for DH, go to the bank for work, myself, and who knows what else will pop up! I feel the need to fix everything for everyone. My Son is not working again and can not qualify for assistance! So Mom does it. He came by yesterday for money for food-he is suppose to contribute to some of his friend and eat at their house. Who knows!! I made the check out and he took it to the bank with a friend being dumber than dirt changed the last name on the check and of course my Friend at the bank called me ( I in the bank everyday). Of course it was OK to cash but-how dumb can a 31 year old be! I know I do to much for him, but I can not let him go hungry or homeless! It is all starting to cave in on me! At least I have a foot soak and reflexology scheduled for tonight. My Angel card reading yesterday told me to take time for me!
On a much lighter note we got our Scentsy products yesterday and are going to order a few new things. They have this lamb you can put a scent pack in and I am getting a lilac and violets scent to put on my pillow!
One of the girls at work had to bring in her cat in due to the heat in her apartment and we are now bonding and having fun! A better day has started! Enjoy your day!!! Love YA!!! emoticon Susan

    Yes, you're a busy gal. So glad you're taking time for YOU!
Maybe you can do some surrogate EFT work with your son's higher self to help him get back on track.
Blessings of peace to you & yours.

    Women do tend to take care of way too many people. I'm glad you're thinking of yourself too with your foot soak and reflexology tonight - Enjoy!!

Hope your son can find work soon. It's a tough time for our kids. I'm thankful mine have their jobs.

Just another lovely day in paradise!!

Wednesday, July 06, 2011

The heat continues! It makes everyone crabby!!! Well maybe most of them are crabby anyway! DH got a new cell phone, he charged it and then in the middle of the night last night I wake to beeping. You know what it does to you when you get a call in the night! I check my phone it had turned itself off (I am also getting a new phone-had this one about 6 years). I went back to the kitchen and it is the new phone saying low battery so I turned it off!!
I took MR R to the vet last night. She put him on antihistamine for animals. She had me get some anti-itch shampoo, and a topical spray. She also trimmed his toenails! So I hope we have stopped the itch!
We got our Scentsy order that we did for our local pet rescue party! Really cool and we helped the rescue group!
On the weight side of things my weight was back up this morning!! I think I am retaining water. My message therapist said I need to drink even more water to get rid of the excess water. So Here goes!!! I hope I do not float away! emoticon
I seem to be rambling again so I am going to get to work! Have a fabulous Wednesday (I think)!!!!! Love YA!! emoticon Susan

    Seems counter-intuitive, doesn't it....drink more water to help release water. Sometimes I gotta just trust that they're not pulling my leg!!

    Water, cool, refreshing water. Drink all the extra water that you can.

Sounds like you have a good vet for Mr.R.

Keep cool!

Speaking of floating away, I will now get UP from my desk and make a run for it before, I, TOO, float away! emoticon

    That extra water will help you beat this ridiculous heat too.

We went home to visit this weekend. Got in the car at 85 degrees and no humidity, got out in our drive way to 106 degrees and 32% humidity. Went in the house to discover the AC was acting up and our house was 85 degrees INSIDE.

It wasn't a good day.

Then, same night, our dog got spooked by fireworks and bolted. We haven't seen him since Sunday.

I sure hope Mr R feels better. Being itchy is awful!! Poor little guy.
