My desktop widget shows that it's 108F and that's at 6:45 pm. This is hard to take, as the swamp cooler really can't do much with these high temps. It adds a bit of humidity to the air which makes it feel stuffy, so I have a couple of fans going including one in the kitchen. I couldn't have cooked dinner without a fan keeping the comfort level at bearable.
Steve called me early this afternoon and invited me to spend the day and overnight at their house in air conditioned comfort. It was tempting, but I prefer being at home when possible. I grew up without A/C and I can survive this.
It seems strange without TV being available. I read for a while but the book I mentioned yesterday is such a large volume it is a bit intimidating and I only read a little bit at a time. The author is really good, I've finished the Prologue and hope to get into the actual subject of the book by tomorrow.
I think I can get accustomed to not watching TV, although if I could find a provider that didn't require a contract I might change my mind. All that I've looked at want a 2-year contract. I could get AT&T U-Verse with no contract, but I think it seems expensive for what I watch. I didn't have TV during the time I was fulltiming and for the next year or so, but when you get started it sure sucks you in.
I haven't seen a doctor or talked to a medical person for at least a week, and I'm beginning to feel pretty good. I wish I could think better days are ahead.
- A Short Update
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...
- 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...
- 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...
- Hiking Shoes?
I am wearing both of them right now and consider keeping them for another few days, which should be ok if I limit them to inside the house. I tried them again with a thicker pair of socks, as well as not tightening the top lace as much as I would...
- Ok, Energy. I'm Waiting For Ya!
I got another B-12 shot this morning, and hope this one will give me some energy for doing things. The last one just made it so I didn't need a nap several times a day. After getting the shot I went to Costco to get COQ10, which replaces what...
