It's still unbearably hot, but after the triple digits all this week we will get back into the 90's. I never thought I'd be relieved to be in 90 degree weather. Have I said how much I hate hot weather?
I dropped by to visit Jeannie and family yesterday. I took them the Sunday paper, which I always do after I'm finished with it. Jeanne and I worked the Sunday crossword - it drives me crazy because she enters the letters very lightly in pencil whereas I always use a pen. I wrote in ink even back when I was young enough to have great eyesight. But we got the entire puzzle completed. It's the best thing about getting the Sunday paper - all the ads are ridiculous and I hardly ever look at them. It is good to have the kids back and I'm looking forward to the gym, which I haven't been to since at least a week before they left because I couldn't leave Bear alone to destroy something. Life is a lot more calm now.
I've been intending to steam clean the floors but keep putting it off. I didn't have such good luck with the steamer last time I tried using it, but I'll try once more. Moving furniture around is what I'm dreading.
There are quite a few hummingbirds visiting the feeder on my front porch. I just noticed a very tiny one that I haven't seen before. They get spooked if I sit on the porch so I have to be content looking at them through the screen door. The ruby-throated hummers who visited me in Asheville didn't care if I sat out on my deck very close to the feeder and I loved seeing them up close. The ones I've seen in CA aren't as striking in looks, nor do they seem as friendly.
I hung clothes on the line across the street this morning and i'm not looking forward to standing in the sun to take them down and fold them. I'd better get to it before I forget and leave them out overnight. I haven't done that so far, but as sluggish as I feel right now I'm sure I could.

It has been a quiet Sunday. Although I have written the newspaper customer service several times and been assured they will resume my delivery, I still haven't gotten a Sunday paper. It is still being delivered to Jeannie's house. ...
- Sitemeter Woes
Is anyone else having problems with sitemeter? Mine was working just fine one day and then turned into a "black box" the next. I can click on the box and see the statistics page, but now it just gives totals and doesn't break down...
- The Heat Is Killing Me!
Even though it's a good 10 degrees cooler than earlier in the week, it is still in the mid to upper 90's, and I'm just sweltering! According to the weather reports, the overnight temps will consistently go down over the next few...
- A Case Of The Jitters!
I'm not concentrating very well this morning. I went into the bedroom and dropped something on the floor - when I picked it up I noticed quite a bit of dust, so into the kitchen I went to get my dust mop. While I was there I decided to...
- Hot-hot-hot!!!
I never did like Sacramento during the summer, and the older I get the more I hate it. Triple digits for at least the next week are not healthy for me. I've been out twice today - early this morning I went to buy strawberries at the farmers'...
