I washed three large loads in my washer and carried them one by one across the street to hang them out on the line. Wet clothes are heavier than dry, and wet towels are much heavier than dry. I had a full load of towels that I've put off for a few weeks. The laundry baskets were probably over whatever limit there is on how much I should lift. I just took an Aleve and it should help.
It's been a beautiful day but all of the sudden I got cold - it's the Delta Breeze that comes up from the San Francisco Bay (or one of the bays in that area) all the way to Sacramento. It can be horribly hot during the day, but by 7 pm I can't even sit outdoors. I won't complain about it because it makes Sacramento summers a little more tolerable. I just closed some doors and windows, put on warm pj's and a robe. How will I be able to eat my ice cream tonight and not get cold all over again.
There is something I want to write about in my blog, but I never remember what it is until after I publish. That is so annoying.
I've been toying with the idea of trying to revisit some of the National Parks I missed last year due to the govt. shutdown. I'm not sure if I can afford it this year, but I'm afraid to wait too long and not be able to do it at all. It's a lot of driving for just one person, although I've always been able to drive long distances. I'm tired of doing it by myself though. If I decide to try it I will wait until after Labor Day to avoid some of the crowds. This is just me thinking and dreaming, and might or might not turn into reality. When I don't dream any more, I will know I'm done for!
I kind of like being able to record something on TV to watch later on. That way, if I'm watching something interesting but need to do something else or go out, I can just record it and watch later. Fast forwarding through commercials is a real positive as well. You'd think I find a lot to watch on TV, but mostly episodes of Animal Cops-Houston. I've also been watching a lot of history programs about WW II lately. I was only 4 on V-E day, and 5 on V-J day, and had no clue about war. My parents evidently went to the trouble to keep it from me, but I probably wasn't interested in radio news to begin with. Kids today couldn't be fooled. It's sad to think we have likely been at war somewhere in the world for most of the time since WW-II.
- What A Bummer!
After months of feeling increasingly better I now feel like crap. Hopefully this will only last a few more days and I can get back to life again. The wind is blowing today and I'm not sure if it is blowing more allergens and...

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...

We went to the gym this evening and it felt pretty good for the most part. I know I lost some weight around the time of my last surgery but have recovered about 5# of it back, and looking to gain another 10#. It will take me a while I think...

All I've done today was laundry, 2 loads, which is easy enough except for having to carry it back and forth across the street to the dryer. It's heavy when it's wet! I will have another load to do tomorrow if I manage to get the...

I think the spammers believe that anyone named gypsy must be a man, because the mail seems to be slanted towards a man. I never actually open them up but the inbox sometimes shows the first few words, such as "Hello mighty man". I recently...
