I'm going to buy myself some out-size cotton t-shirts. I haven't got any and it's the ideal thing in this hot weather.

I have a few of those.. but I find in these high temps they are still tooooo hot... fine for days when it might be in the 70's.. but not when it's hotter. Instead I wear very lightweight , thin strap loose dresses.. I have 3 of those, and every day I have them on constant wash and change. I don't go out in them, I have smarter dresses if I wear them outdoors, but generally in this heat I wear these dresses around the house.. and capris' and sleeveless tops when I go out
 
Today I am waiting for the delivery of my new batteries for my mobility chair. I am hoping I will be able to find a way to get them at least to the elevator. I don't have any idea how heavy they will be.

Then just normal household chores. Definitely some cooking. Making a cornbread stuffler for breakfast and shrimp scampi for supper. I like to prepare way in advance of when I finally eat. My energy seems to be more in the morning. Especially on hot days, so I usually eat my last meal in the late afternoon.

Hope you all have a pleasant day and not too hot for you.

Ditto, Lavinia! Sleeveless long cotton tees are my summer wardrobe. They are just enough to keep me decent, but not enough to bind or cling - love them! The one that I'm currently wearing is printed with a quip referring to Dr. Who!

I had good news today -- still free of cancer!

Had some cancer tests, did laundry, got a Covid booster, took a nap, ate lunch and dinner, and read a couple of forums. I was at the hospital for 2 hours, on about 3-4 hours of sleep. I was so tired I could barely think straight.

When I told the pharmacist that I didn't get side effects from the vaccine, she said that was too bad. The side effects show that the immune system is cranking up, and that's a good thing. I didn't know that, and I'm too lazy to check it out.

SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
 
I wear 100% cotton loose dresses in the summer, very cool and comfortable....nothing defines an old woman like muumuu dresses ...lol
I have a magnolia tree in my yard that is dropping leaves like crazy...so I'm going to rake up leaves for a while this morning....up to 109 again today, tomorrow temps drop to 100.
 
I took my early morning walk around 6:20 which was walking around apt complex twice after I watered plants/flowers in our garden.it was already 75 with slight breeze
In yesterday's post,I mentioned I was looking for a new toaster at Target,did find one for $23
This morning I had a toasted English muffin for breakfast,what a vast improvement from my old one which I bought in 2017
I have no plans today will go mid morning walk around 10 before it gets too hot/humid,forecast is high near 90
I've noticed the older I get,the heat/humidity zaps my energy

I've just come in from the garden where I've been sat, in just a pair of shorts, in lovely, lovely rain.
It's the most wonderful feeling to feel cool again, and, I noticed a few neighbour's curtains twitching. 😊 They are probably thinking that old Tim has lost his marbles..... and they are probably right. 😊

I would have sat with you...I enjoy the wonderful gifts that nature gives us! So I guess I had better start looking for my marbles, too! 😂

That's a really cute dress. I've never been to Hawaii but in the 80's I had a co-worker who went and with her husband, they went to a formal event. She wore a traditional muumuu dress. She said in Hawaii they are considered also formal wear.
 
Today is going to be very rough.

As some of you know, for the past few years DH & I have propped up our 15-1/2 year old dog with meds, acupuncture and the like. He's gradually become fully deaf and his vision has worsened. When he isn't sleeping he mostly wanders around the house, obviously a bit lost. I could go on to describe his cognitive and physical deficits, but I'm sure you get the picture.

The veterinarian with whom he is most comfortable (our mobile vet) is coming to our house late this afternoon and will put him to sleep with us by his side. I'm weeping at the thought of saying a permanent goodbye to him, but DH & I know that it's past time we do him this final kindness. Our daughter's dog is with us for a couple of days to help soften this terrible loss.

You are giving him a last gift of love, as difficult as it is. In days to come, I hope you find some comfort in the fact he was with you as long as he has, and gave him the best life he could have.

Sending love and comfort to you and your DH 🤗
 
I got groceries this morning and it was already too hot and humid. I'm not sure about the rest of the day. I don't like hanging around the house all day, so I might just go for a ride to the state park; find some shade and people watch.

Yesterday I took a ride up the mountain to a long established (mid 1800's) orchard, and bought some fresh plums and cherries. I used a $6 food voucher from the Agency on Aging. Three more left. Their fruit is absolutely the best and of course local. Later there will be peaches but timing matters when you buy them. They don't keep long. Later in the season it's apples. Honey Crisp are very popular.

horribly emotional day for you today Star... most of us have been through it including you, yourself.. it never, ever gets any less heartbreaking... lots of love to him as he passes over Rainbow bridge, and meets up with our pets who have already gone there...

This afternoon I found something to do... I foam washed the upholstery foot stool......I have leather sofa, and only the footstool is upholstery... and I don't think I've cleaned it since I've had it.. so I took it outside and gave it a good clean with DR Beckmanns'.. and surprisingly there was hardly any dirt to come off.. but it's all refreshed now anyway..

I'm just waiting for my KFC..chicken balls to be ready for dinner which are baking in the oven.. gonna have them with Potato Salad..
