At 9am ,taking the Gates van will be dropped off at a small plaza ,I have a 9:30 appt at Super Cuts.I was there in April, my natural curly hair goes crazy in summer months, its time to get it short again. Afterwards, walk to the end of the plaza where my favorite $ store{everything is now $1.25} is located. I need to buy birthday cards, 2026 wall calendar,pocket calendars,pens
The rest of my day take my afternoon walk, read today's NYT, my book
 

Good morning, thunder this morning and rain. It will help make it cooler until later today.

I will be slicing some strawberries for dessert tonight, my husband likes them with ice cream and I with whip cream. We watch some DVD shows in the afternoon.

Everyone, have a good day. :)
 
I'm going to travel an hour and watch the grandkids do their gymnastics class. I will attempt to keep watermelon slices cold.
I remembered I have a glass dish with a thermal travel bag. It has the hot or cold packs. I have used it for hot food and it really worked well so we'll see how the cold version works. Ill put the bag in a big cooler with ice packs too.
Grandpa is sending some blueberries he picked this morning. We opted for healthy snacks as I don't think we'll make it through a picnic in this heat.
 

Once again I didn't roll outta the sack until 7:30. The day is already half over!

All the plants that need potassium have been potassium'd. I think of the guara with buds as "pregnant," and I "induced" labor so that they'll bloom ;).

Yup. I've been Optimizing out in the garden.

Nothing special on the agenda today except staying cool.

I know I am terribly late replying to all your posts of support. It's horrible getting older and finding that things I used to do easily are so hard these days. I was 70 years old on July 11th and wonder why everything has changed. I used to be a litho engineer and travelled all round the northwest area and into Wales. Now I feel terrified taking the car out, hate going to the supermarket. I know I had a bit of a breakdown being stuck in the house alone because of COVID and wonder if that damaged me more than I realised. Thank you again for your support.
 
Trying to stay away from you guys. I'm still depressed and don't want to bring anyone down. Have appt. with surgeon Wednesday for blood clot in left leg.

Great summer. Going to hospital August 4 to check on Parkinson diagnosis. I don't think I have it, but have to spend hours on a summer day finding that out.

It is so difficult to feel happy. I apologize to all of you for these posts. They are honest, from the heart, and I trust many of you so much.
 
I got a wild hair and decided to make meatball soup for supper. Right. Hot soup on a hot day🤷‍♀️. Remember what I said? Something soft and something crisp should always go together, and something hot and something cold no matter what the weather. We'll call the soup soft and garlic bread crisp. Soup also hot. Need something cold. Hm.

Just so you know...the guara haven't bloomed yet;). Any time now...
 
Soup is souping on the stove as we speak. I even cleaned up the kitchen and washed the dishes. I feel so virtuous.

Mother Nature decided that she's been mean enough for a while and opened up the heavens with accompanying thunder and lightning. It's been pouring for about 15 minutes. Yay! Means I don't have to water tomorrow morning.

Now that I've Optimized in the garden and in the kitchen, I'm gonna Optimize lazing around in front of the telly. Maybe even take a nap.

@hawkdon Has the novelty worn off yet or are you still roaring around your racetrack house today? 🏎️

Don't ever stay away when you need friends most. That's why we're here for each other. You have days when you're sad, I have days when I'm mad all day, if we go crawl under the covers it will just make the bad feelings last longer.
 
This morning, I was able to get to the chiropractor for DRX treatment and an adjustment. It’s been two weeks because she has been on vacation and I won’t let anybody else work on me.

I knew when I left the house this morning I was not going to run all of my errands, because it is so brutally miserable hot/humid outside, and I didn’t. The air conditioner at the Chiropractor’s office was malfunctioning, but still working. The air conditioner at the bank was not working. It has been so hot for several days running the old equipment in some of these buildings can’t keep up.

While I was at the chiropractor’s office, a couple who once lived two farms over from me came in. I hadn’t seen them for close to eight years. I recognized the wife right away. I had seen the husband first and thought he looked familiar but thought no that can’t be who I think it is, and it broke my heart to find out that he was who I thought he was.

They were my best horse neighbors. Aside from my grandfather, he was one of the best horse trainers I have ever come across. They raised Spotted Saddle Horses (gaited horses) for many many years. It turns out the husband had bladder cancer and right when he was coming out of that and getting back on his feet Covid hit and he got it. His wife said that just about did him in. He is several years than me. She is a little bit younger than me so still fairly spry except for her arthritis but she tries to keep him uplifted every day. I know what a struggle that is for her as I went through that with my husband with cancer before he passed away.

It was heartbreaking to see the man that I used to occasionally hear come clip-clopping down the road on his stallion as I was out getting the mail and he would say “go get a bridle on that Walking Horse of yours, and see if you can keep up“. lol lol. That was always a joke after the first ride because my Duke (RIP) never had a bit of problem, keeping up with anybody😇🐎😇🐎

My point is it’s just a heartbreaker to see someone who was once this big gentle man whose horses respected him, now barely able to walk, had to be prompted by his wife and myself to remember who I am.😢😢

Gosh. I Optimized my sleep again. Maybe 7:30 is going to be my new getting-up time.

We had a good, soaking rain yesterday afternoon so I don't need to water this morning. Yay.

Too early to have a plan for the day. I need to think about what needs to be Optimized and/or Maximized.

Good morning to all, rain here during night and now this afternoon. It keeps the temperature down but do no not like rain most of the day. Complain, complain, complain.

Shopper coming for delivery of groceries. He is so fast and gets everything on my list. I wish I had him all the time.

Have a good day, everyone and hope you will all be feeling well. :)
