Morning folks....74 deg F here, going into 90's again, rain possible tho not
for sure...spent a miserable nit e trying to sleep, that rash has come back, of
all places on my buttocks about belt level, wowee didn't know a person could
itch this much....ah well...just going to live with it, been trying to get this issue
taken care of for about 7 years, all to no avail, maybe a bit of relief with the
prednisone tabs, but only lasts for week or two......so just giving up and accepting that I'll always have this itch LOL!!!!!:cautious:🥲😞
 

This is going to sound whacky & stupid but
I'm going to love myself today. Tired of the life-long game of critiquing & even hating things about me.....about wondering, self-doubt. I want to embrace myself today. I want to admit the love I feel for me and give me all the compassion I have for others.

That's my "job" for today, to love myself. I already laugh at my own jokes, that's half-way there.
 
On my early walk at 6:20 temp was 65,as I walked to store to buy local paper, when I came back watered plants/ flowers in our community garden
The highlight of my day will be walking around 12:15, to close friends, Marcia&Dave's house to dog sit my 'buddy boy' Tage for a couple of hrs.I always laugh every time he sees me because he goes crazy, tail wagging, jumps on the sofa for some TLC, sweet dog
 

I'm just about to get some white paint from the barn, to paint my hall bannister. It won't take more than a few minutes to do, but it's got black marks on it from something and I don't know what.... very odd... won't even come off with normal cleaning..

Here I sit,,,,s. i. g. hhhhhh.
Same old morning routine,, walk dog,, think about what to have for lunch.

Need to go to the pharmacy for a refill of a prescription.
Have a "don't wanta drive " mood on myself ,,,,,,,, What the H***???:rolleyes:
Could the problem be that I got about 4 a.m. today?

While in town better pick up few things at grocery. :oops:
 
Shucks. Already hit a brick wall. Life is too dependent on others to fulfill their obligations, and the disappointment and frustration that ensues when they don't.

Should I find something else to do today? I'd better. OR. How to love oneself despite it all? Tall order. Dependency. I'd better read that thread on it.
 
I've done an early morning grocery pickup run which went well.

We are expecting severe storms with heavy rain and the possibility of large hail this afternoon. I have one more outing planned but will cancel it if it looks like I can't be back before the storms start. 🌩️💦☔ I try hard not to take the car out if there might be hail. It's bad enough that the roof is at risk, no need to expose something I can keep under cover.

Hope everything went well with the angiogram...
Care to share your immortality plan?
To tell you the truth, I don’t wish to be immortal..
I want to know what’s on the other side when the
time is right!

My immortality plan is not even wishful thinking, it's nothing but a smartarse throwaway line.
The other side?
A: It's so good that no-one comes back.
B: According to Kerry Packer Aussie billionaire there's, "****ing nothing there".
Kerry was an ornery bastard who probably would have come back.
So I got some diagnosis and referrals and my immortality plans are looking a bit ambitious.
Nothing to serious considering my age, mileage, wear and tear.

OK...all the painting done now... I painted the Bannister in white .. then went looking to see if anything needed touching up and a few little things did , so I got them done, and now the house smells of paint. Not offensive, in fact it smells fresh... but I'm burning wax melts to compensate , even tho' I have all the windows open ...The melts are called ''Cuddle Up''... and contain the perfumes of... sweet cinnamon spice, crushed clove bud, and sweet toasted nutmeg bound by warm amber and rich cashmere musk ... gorgeous.... 🥰

Remember I told y'all that there are only two temperatures here in summertime? Hot and hotter. Today was and is both. It was hot when I got up. It's hotter now.

A good bit has been accomplished in the garden. Yay me. Done for the day, though. It's just too 🥵 🔥

All cleaned up. Showered, dressed, bed made, litter box cleaned and laundry🧺 waiting to be folded. I even ate. It's late for breakfast, too early for lunch, and the only thing I could think of to eat was some baked potato soup. Soup? In this heat? The a/c is on. Whew.

@hollydolly That scent "feels" like autumn. Bring it on!🍁🍂
 
Gigi...you've done a lot in those high temps, .....(y) yes I know what you mean about these wax melts.. but they don't smell as heavy as an Autumn one might... it's a really lovely perfume.. a little bit like walking past a Lush shop..
 
I got some sleep, after my 4 a.m... SF visit, here in this thread.
But not enough, so will need an early-day nap. Not what I'd like to be doing, but otherwise cannot function.

I've sorted some mail, this morning, and wrote to a friend, and tended to a small problem for DH; thankfully no huge ones, today.

I checked the tv and internet, and both are working, today, which is a relief after they were both out completely, for most of yesterday.

It's hot here, lately, but not nearly as extreme heat as other members are dealing with. Thinking of all of you!

I know what you mean, but!!!!!!
It's these things that do not take us out,
yet make us absolutely miserable in the meantime,
that I find perhaps the more difficult to bear!

Yikes. That is discouraging for you, in addition to the physical aggravation. :(
