Today has been bearable, but tomorrow will be 82, followed by 86 and 81. Then rain is predicted by the weekend along with much cooler temps.
I'm humming right along with organizing and discarding stuff, and today I dug into some of the photographs. Since mine were mixed in with Jeannie's I mostly tried to separate mine, and discard those I couldn't identify, dark or out of focus, people I didn't remember, duplicates, etc. I have months to go with this job and I still haven't come up with a way to organize and keep them. I think it would require too many photo albums, and I have quite a few albums that I haven't even gotten into yet. I want the photos to look at - not pictures on a computer. I already have plenty of those, but to tell you the truth, I would much rather hold a photo in my hand and look at it.
I did the sentimental things - cards, etc., but as yet I haven't been able to read them because I know I will cry. One card that particularly struck me with joy was a birthday card from my young adult kids. Each one of them wrote a little paragraph rather than just sign their names. I know that is going to send my spirits soaring when I read it.
On watching TV - I've heard a lot lately about the re-release of some of the old "X" Files movies. I found 10 programs on my recorder this morning and played the first one. That lasted less than 5 minutes! I don't care for movies and dramatizations, although I like to read the book, so I just erased all 10 episodes. I still don't understand all the fuss about "The 'X' Files", and guess I never will.
Even at 7 pm the sun is still shining brightly, which just shows how dirty my windows and screens are!

I'm one for one with Costco. I just got my bill for membership which amounts to $110 for the coming year. I have the Executive Gold Star membership, which gives me an annual rebate of a certain percentage of my purchases for the year. ...
- Rain, All Day
It's a dreary day and I don't feel like going anywhere, so I haven't. I love the treadmill the more I use it (never thought that would happen) and I've managed to do some walking just about every day since I've been here. We...
- Oh Joy!
I could hear the rain hitting the roof throughout the night, but by this morning it had stopped. When I went out for some errands at about 10 am, the sun was shining! Beautiful sunlight! I have never minded rain although I can't...

I've spent the day resting after being awake off and on all night. Joe came by to visit me this morning, and Jeannie stopped by on her way to work. Mike called from New York. Mike is flying to California tomorrow, and I'm looking forward...
- Heat Wave
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...

I sure don't like the weather
