This is about as hot as I like it - 83degrees! The next 3 days are going to be in the 90's but we'll be back in the 70's next after that. I hate hot weather!
I think I'm past needing prescription pain meds, but I did take an Alleve capsule last night before going to bed.
I had to deal with a load of laundry this morning. I worried about the weight of the laundry basket and wet clothes that I needed to carry across the street to hang them dry. I got out an old scale which I can't really rely on for accuracy, but weighed myself, and then again holding the laundry basket. Ten pounds for the basket. One doctor told me to only lift 8# and under for 6 weeks; written instructions for post op say 15#. So I went with the written advice. I think the load was lighter coming back with the dry folded clothes. Water is pretty heavy.
The storms are really scary and I hope everyone is staying safe. I don't have even a closet I could take shelter in, so I would probably just hide out in the bathroom, which has a small window over the tub. I don't think this area is ever under serious threat of tornados, and I'm sure not knowledgeable about what to do during an earthquake, So I don't worry about any of it.
I have to give credit to my feeling better to the coffee I have in the morning. I'm back to using half & half after a few weeks of coffee with 2% milk. The milk is ok in a pinch but the coffee just didn't taste all that great to me. Now it's a wonderful way to start the day. I love mornings, including the coffee and breakfast foods. I just wish eating dinner was as satisfying.

I'm talking about laundry, and it's dreaded because I have to wash the clothes, then load them into the car to dry them at a nearby laundry. It's really not that bad, but for some reason I hate doing it. The towels will wait until...
- Good To Be Back
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...

I just went outside to get my mail and walked into a beautiful sunny afternoon! Though we desperately need rain, I am happy to see the sun, especially right now. This morning was very chilly, and I hurried to the kitchen to start my coffee maker. ...
- It's A Good Day
I saw my primary doctor this morning and got the EKG. She also discussed the results of some recent tests, including the chest xray which looks terrific. She is the 2nd doctor to suggest that I may be kept in the hospital for at least an additional...
