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 in the house are keeping me cool enough.
I want to thank everyone who wrote me about my dilemma of where and how to live in my future. (Vada and RunNRose, you hit the nail on the head!) My brain hurts from thinking about it, searching web sites, etc., so I will have to put the whole idea on hold for a day or so, and then start considering the idea again.
I drove out of the Park for a short trip to Target this morning, and passed a house just down the street from mine that has been painted. It is now a beautiful adobe red and looks terrific. I don't see anything that would make me think the house was sprayed, but it must have been because it was finished so quickly. It also has wooden siding rather than the metal in models such as I have, and I think the paint really looks super!
I plan to try to declutter my house one room at a time. It will look much better, I will feel much better, and if I decide to move into an apartment or other type of living, I will have a head start . I'm a pack rat and extremely sentimental, especially when it comes to things that have been given to me over the years. I just can't bring myself to get rid of a gift from a loved one. So now I just need to decide on which room to start!
- Counting Down!
I have only tonight and tomorrow night on the road and will then be in the area of Huntington Beach for 3 nights. I leave on next Friday morning and just hope I don't run into a heavy commute, but I'm so close to the end of this trip now...
- Keeping Warm
When I lived in Ireland my house was always cold - no central heat. I had a portable oil heater I could move around the kitchen, but the small living room was warmed by a fireplace. I loved that fireplace and got pretty good at making fire...
- Today Is Much Better
I didn't even need to turn on the swamp cooler today as the fan kept the air moving and there was a nice breeze all day long outside. I think we'll have two more nice days like this before it climbs into the 90's. I shopped for my granddaughter's...
- Holding On To My Energy
Since Jeannie & Donald were taking the girls to Santa Cruz for the day, they wouldn't be going to the gym. I decided I would go on my own because I've been feeling so good for a couple of days after exercising. It wasn't at...
