How Hot Is It?

 Today took us on an adventure. It was a lovely drive even if we arrived late. GPS underestimated the time it took to travel. We went through three cities with traffic lights and seemed to hit them all at the wrong time.

I was a little out of sorts at the beginning of the trip, but I like to see new places, so I perked up. I was busy pointing out restaurants and places to shop, all the while looking for the street we were were supposed to turn onto. Ten minutes late. I would have fought with anyone saying we had to reschedule. Fortunately they didn't and all the tests were completed.

We left home at 11:30 and got back at 4:30. HeWho treated me to Wendy's biggie bag to eat while driving. No, I wasn't driving, because if I had been driving, we would have most certainly made a U-turn and gone back a mile to the 21,000 square foot thrift store I saw! No telling what treasures awaited me there!! 21,000 square feet could have kept me occupied many hours!

We did stop at a produce stand and purchased some lovely veggies. I was still mourning the thrift store miles behind us and said so periodically. While looking for that produce stand I saw on the way to the Imaging Center, I heard the driver say that it was located where we turned. Where we turned? It was a staight shot on Hwy 515 through Blairsville, Blue Ridge, Cherry Log and then Elijay. We did not turn. He insisited that we did.

Of course when he started down the wrong road the GPS altered our course. He insisted that it didn't, while I was as insistant that it did. When we ended up in Murphy, he conceded that I might have been correct. At one point HeWho asked me why I wasn't driving if I knew so much. Really. I told him that I probably wasn't driving, because we would have definitely stopped at the thrift store and would not have deviated from the route that was a 4 lane highway to a two lane one with double yellow lines all the way that prevented passing slower drivers.

He has no sense of direction, much less shopping savvy. In the meantime, we had to reschedule the air contioner repairman in order to make this appointment for the CT scan and it will be Monday before we see him. At 4:30 it was still 97 degrees. The window unit is keeping us somewhat comfie, but I am thinking a nap is in order because if I am asleep I won't know how hot it is ...

    I have no sense of direction, either, and execute too many U turns since I lost voice on my directions app.

      I prefer to hear the voice reminding me when a turn or exit is coming up, HeWho likes to look at the route on the phone. Yet, he can't read a map!!

    Do you have any hot water bottles used for warming the bed before you get in? Put cold water in them and freeze them then use to cool down the bed before you get in. Or put folded clean sheets or towels in the freezer and spread those on the bed before lying down to sleep.

      We bought a window unit that is keeping up with heat well enough. We only have 400 square feet, so that is a sort of blessing. The window unit can go in my She Shed ater the central unit is fixed. I grew up without air conditioning and survivied!

    It's that hot here in Missouri, too. Too hot to do anything outside, unless I do it in the morning hours.

      I do my garden chores either in the early morning or after the sun goes down. Today it has cooled down considerably. We have the windows open to let the cool breeze of 68 degrees in!

    Your luck has to start looking up! Hope you get settled in and you feel up to par really soon.

    Sorry you were deprived of a thrift store visit! Also sorry you have to wait out the heat over the weekend. The dogs might have to lay off the snuggling for a bit!

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co

Moving To A new House Would Be Easier

  The big day has arrived! I herded the canines into my bedroom to await the new stove. Now, keep in mind that they could have simply sent a repair out to change out the one burner that did not work. Hold that thought ...... Instead of simply repairing an other wise fine stove, they insisted that they should REPLACE it. And, the replacement is TODAY. I am in my bedroom with my furry babies as I listen to a very frustrated HeWho trying to remove the door in order to get it through the only opening that will take it outside. Delivery men refuse to assist and even suggest coming back at a later date! My new stove is sitting just outside their truck on the ground, still in the box causing me to thing to myself "What the not heaven (thanks Val)". Do we now have to go and muscle that thing up the steps and onto the porch ourselves?? I went out to assist. Not much assistance, as I kept jumping back to protect the gouty toe. I returned to my confinement, realizing that I was annoying

The Half Tooth Lingering In My Mouth

  Yesterday was almost bearable with the tooth pain. I took aspirin, tylenol and ibuprophen, rotating them. Went to bed and finally turned the TV off at 11:30. The searing pain woke me at 4:30 am and I have yet to find relief. How much Orajel is too much to ingest? Should I be worried? It doesn't help much, but gives a brief respite. My appointment was today. I arrived with time to spare and had the X-rays done and then the dentist came in, asking about the left side of my mouth. The broken tooth is on the right side. The last root canal and crown I had done is infected!! He said it looked like it never completely healed and this was done over 2 years ago. Having established that, he took a peek at the broken tooth and said it would need to be handled by the oral surgeon. Okay, I already knew that. I used my finger to trace the area in acute pain. From the middle of the top teeth and up to the eye orbit and over to my ear and down to my neck and back up to the middle of my mouth on
