It's Going to be a Good Day!

Yea, it's going to be a great day today. Instead of the rain predicted, the sun is trying to come through.

Yesterday it rained hard all day and my feelings were as bleak as the day. Today will be our only good day in the forecast for this week. The rest of our days will be rain! I'm so sick of sticking to my furniture, Just using the mouse makes my arm stick to the wooden desk. Yucky feeling for sure. I do wish we could share some of this with those who are in drought. I feel so sorry for them and their battle to grow their crops, gardens, the rationing that goes along with water shortages. Somehow it just doesn't seem fair.

Yesterday I received a nice surprise. An email from a cousin I hadn't heard nor seen since the 50's. I was young at that time but I sure do remember her and her sister, and I missed them when they moved away. you never can have enough family, especially at my age.

Today I go to visit my favorite Aunt. She was always so much fun and I loved staying at her house. I remember I was going through a sing song phase then and everything I asked her or spoke about was sung. She in turn had to do the same back to me so I imagine I must have gotten on her nerves at times. LOL, many times! She was the one who always baked my birthday cake. Deep chocolate with that gooey boiled icing. Oh how I would love to sink my teeth into a piece of that now. Nobody makes that kind of frosting anymore. It's too easy to buy the stuff in the can which tastes awful to me. I remember licking the bowl was the best part of that day. She always left extra in it for me. My love of sweets will be my undoing. I used to make it for my boys and they also loved licking the bowl. Like mother, like sons.

Hmmm, the sun seems to have deserted me. It now feels like rain and it is humid and buggy out. I swear I have received more mosquito bites this past week than all I have accumulated over the years here. It has to be from all the rain and the breeding grounds for them. I have to remember to go outside and empty my bird bath and any other catch alls for water. I should also change my hummingbird feeders nectar. I make my own and with my taste for sweets, probably make it a tad too sweet. They must love it though because they are going to town out there this morning.

Well, I guess it's time to shower and dress so I'll feel human today. I know I will be drenched later just from the humidity. I just wilt and yearn for AC. My hair gets so yucky although I wash it every day, but I look like a rooster after running my fingers through it to get it off my face. Hubby laughs at me but now it is such a habit that I can't seem to break it. When I start crowing at dawn then he can complain.

Have a good day and find joy in it.
