Hanging in There



With all the rain we are having, it's been so hot and muggy. I feel as though I'm growing moss on my body. Much too uncomfortable to have to wear a bra. However, gravity seems to have won the battle and I feel like the old gal in this cartoon. I'm sure there are many who can relate.

Our back patio is green and needs to be cleaned with a power washer. The sides of the rocks are growing moss as is the base of the flag pole.

In the house it is sticky and hard to breathe. I have three fans going continually but believe that next year we will knock out a hole in one end of the house and put in a BIG air conditioner. If my husband has control over the setting it will be like living in a wind tunnel. I just want to be cool, not a walking Popsicle.

In the car we play switch-a-roo. He turns it high and I turn it down. I don't like the feel of that cold hitting me in the chest. I try to turn the vents in his direction which helps some but our seats are too close together in such a small car. Oh how I miss our RV. We kept it parked beside the garage and on days that were too muggy, I could go in the RV, turn the AC on and read a book. Peace and quiet and NO phones to answer. I'm definitely not a phone person. I had enough of them all the years of working.

Our little feral cat showed up yesterday looking for food. She hasn't been around in a month or so and she looks so skinny and unhealthy. I think it might be because we let our cat out now during the day so she stays away. And since we don't leave out food during the night due to the skunks, raccoons, and other critters, she hasn't been able to sneak in and eat her fill. So, I will have to put food out in the early morning and leave it until dusk. That way she can get to it between our little Princess' in and out game all day. Our door is nearly worn out from all the opening and closing. She no sooner goes out, comes in, and then she wants out again. Enough already.

I've got so much to do and no energy to do it. I go for a B12 shot today to see if it will help me. I'm hoping it has the effect of a rocket launch. I'm not asking for much.

My hummers are out in force and I guess I'd better get up and make some sugar water for them. I must have had a heavy hand with the sugar last time because they came, drank, and held onto the hanger for quite some time before flying off. They drank the feeders dry so they must have liked it.

It's time to go shower and get into dry clothes. I can see this is going to be one of those days where I won't feel dry no matter how many times I change. And yes, I have to put a bra on to go to the doctor. Bummer!

Have a great day no matter what your weather.

Hugs
