When I think I'm going to write just a short piece, it ends up getting quite wordy! I can't help it.
Update on chiropractic care - I am noticing, and the doctor says that my posture is improving quickly. Jeannie had to have a dental implant removed and won't start her treatment until Wednesday. I know she is looking forward to it.
In the meantime we are using the juicer every 3 or 4 days, and she is noticing that her blood sugar readings are much lower, and that she needs less insulin. It has to have something to do with the juicing as she hasn't started the regular chiro program yet. I think the outcomes for both of us look good.
Steve took the swamp cooler apart and we cleaned it up a bit - the old pads were disintigrating pretty badly. They aren't what I thought they would be - sort of a woven mass of heavy fiber that looks a bit like thick straw, but not really. I can't describe it and should have taken some photos.
I never have any humidity in the house from running the cooler, no matter how long it runs. For one thing, Sacramento has extremely low humidity and what moisture there is evaporates quickly. Also, I leave a couple of windows open just a bit in the kitchen at the front of the house, and in the bedrooms at the back. That seems to keep the air circulating pretty well.
All I can say is that when I stand under the vents of this thing, the air blowing out is as cool as that from an air conditioner! And it's a lot cheaper to run. Today was very uncomfortable outdoors as it didn't get very cool overnight. We are supposed to get the Delta breeze back tonight though, and that keeps the temperature reasonable throughout the entire morning and often into the early afternoon. Have I mentioned how I'd love to see some snow? I'd even go out and play in it!
- Restful Weekend
For the most part I didn't do much of anything this weekend, and tried to get some much needed rest. I think I'm just plain tired, and my muscles are sore from two of the exercises Dr.G gave me. I love doing them and can...
- No Fair!
It was only supposed to reach the upper 90's today and at 4pm it's already 102. I've come to the conclusion that if I had to pick between living in a hot climate most of the year or a cold climate, I would definitely prefer the...
- Heat Wave
It is 90F just a little before 4pm, and will probably go a bit higher. It will get hotter during the next two days, maybe even hitting 100! I can barely stand this kind of heat although my swamp cooler plus a fan and several open windows...
- Fired Up The Swamp Cooler
Before the temperature got to the high of 91F today, I decided to turn on the swamp cooler. In just a couple of minutes I could feel the difference, and could lower the fan from high to low. I keep a couple of windows open in the kitchen and...

Before beginning the arduous task of reading blogs that I've neglected during the past week(I haven't been on the computer nearly as much as usual), I thought I'd write a few paragraphs. I am a little edgy today probably because of my upcoming...
