Getting ready for the heat blast tomorrow and Friday. Supposed to be ghastly. Mostly watering new perennials I planted earlier this spring. The tomatoes were watered over a couple of days, so they should be OK.
Was thinking about you, Marian, and wondering how bad it is where you are?
Once again, weeds are my life!

I've been watching the weather channels and that massive heat wave across parts of the US looks deadly. Stay cool, everyone. Stay inside if you can.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Ana, you've got more patience than me, and I'm sure dealing with multiple dogs calls for keeping them all on a routine that works for you. Admittedly, I've spoiled Huey since I've no one else to spoil. When he was young, I was in better physical condition and we used to walk at least a mile or so a day. Things have changed to the point that I've had to rely on others to give him all the exercise he needs. His appetite has increased with loss of muscle tone. He wakes up ravenous. If I ignore him, he goes back to bed for a few minutes than comes back. I've got wood floors and I can hear his nails clicking away. Earliest he's woken me is 4 am. Told him to go away and got another hour before I have in.
Update on PT. Similar to what happened a few years ago, nothing is working for my hip. I'm not feeling the stretches. PT referred me back to chiro. Saw him this morning and he determined my hips are off balance. The right one is higher then the left, giving my organs only half the space on that side than on my left. The muscular 'knot' they been trying to loosen is actually my bottom rib. When they couldn't tell the difference is unclear right now. Chiro said he could see hip difference when I walked away from him. Misalignment wouldn't not up on scan because it is taken while lying down. Sooo, continue with PT to realign foot and balance issues. Back to chiro get hip back in place. I had been doing much better until quarantine hit. PT said my weight gain from last year is typical. The 'technical' term being used is 'quarantine fifteen'.
Life's a puzzle; one piece at a time.

Things have cooled down a bit here, thank goodness! Hagatha, that sounds scary but exciting at the same time! Glad you could get out with hubby. Butterflybabe, hope you can see some improvement soon. Oh my, those high temperatures you all get would kill me! Hope you can all keep cool. Some ironing to do today so best get on with it. Shouldn't be too bad since things have cooled down some.

Well, we were going out today, but my husband took a fall on the stairs. Fortunately he just missed the last step, but he landed on his hip and elbow and banged his head. Being stubborn, he refuses to go to the hospital to have it checked. I have him propped up in the living room in front of a soccer game with a bowl of ice cream and he's happy enough, but if he can't walk by later on today I'll have to take him to the hospital for an x-ray. Hopefully it's just bad bruising, but because his cancer is in his spine there's always a concern. In the meantime, he can shuffle around in my office chair, which has wheels.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

It's so hot here, I've already switch to a cold frosty beer! Whew! We are having our old falling apart pool deck railing replaced with nice white vinyl and black metal posts. The guy working out there said if it wasn't nice and shady, he'd have given up awhile ago! I worked on the south side of the house on weeds for about 45 minutes and thought I was going to die! Supposed to be even worse tomorrow. I feel for all the people who have to work out in this heat.
Once again, weeds are my life!

Thanks, everyone. I'm really hoping he hasn't fractured his hip. If he has to go into hospital I wouldn't be able to visit, so if it comes to that we'll get home care instead.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

hagatha, sending positive vibes to your hubby! Hope he is just bruised. Another hot day here. Long work day but good to home in the AC now. Lots of tongues hanging on my park run dogs today. Have a great day everyone! Almost Friday!
