Another hike in the woods. Today I saw what I think must be wild turkeys, tho they looked larger and browner than the smaller darker turkeys I'd seen decades ago in another state (Maryland). I googled and both Maryland and Ohio should have the same subspecies, so it is a mystery.

Yes, I have had them in my NE Ohio backyard - VERY impressive! It is usually the huge shadow they cast that catches my eye!
 

I took the heathens to Weeki Watchee Springs today. Now they want to be mermaids.

Gorgeous SpaceX launch from the Cape tonight. We had a storm earlier and I wasn't sure we'd be able to see it because of the clouds. It cleared up and the launch was on time. There must have been some unusual atmospheric conditions, because I've never seen a "trail" quite like that. It was just past sunset, so perhaps the sun was hitting it just right. I could see the spark of the booster coming down and I've never seen that before, either.

I never get tired of seeing that, and from my yard, to boot!

@hollydolly, so glad that heatwave eased off

what am I doing today? A whole lotta nothin’….. after a busy six days I’m just exhausted. Woke up at 0730 after a full night’s sleep, took AM meds and went back to bed. Slept til noon.

like @MarciKS, we are also seeing an upshot in COVID cases… back to giving care dressed like an alien, sigh

It's the trash bags with the bonnets, goggles and masks that I love. I look like the lunch lady from outer space. I just wish the masks came with a thing inside to make me sound like Darth Vader. LOL
 

Ok I give up. since the last six days at work were non-stop and I drank more coffee than I usually allowed myself, I have tried to go without these last two days but it is back-firing badly. All I’ve done is mostly sleep the last 36+ hours and I could sure enough lay down right now and nap. Don’t have the mental capacity of a gnat So I’m now sipping on a less-than-half-caff cup of coffee in hopes to get over this hump.
 
Today I was in 3 separate towns not including my own.. Hot day... Drove to the the town where there's waste site which has a recycle shop there, where anything that's too good to tip in the waste .. gets sold in the shop. So I took 2 big rugs.. these...

which are in mint condition , I only had them a couple of years.. so someone else will enjoy those....a garden parasol that I've had for many years but no longer want because I've upgraded to a better style.. and several other things.. They were delighted by my things because I look after everything so well, everyone always thinks I'm giving away new stuff...

From there to the next town to return an item.. and then back north 30 miles.. to go to the Factory Outlet Mall.. and bought some leather sandals.. and some fancy soaps... .. so hot, picked up Chinese sweet & sour prawns and egg fried rice, to save me cooking when I got home..

The news bulletins on the radio are full of dire warnings for everyone because of the impending 113 degree temps we're gonna have from Monday...
 
Hoping the A/C repair person arrives early this afternoon. My biggest hope is that it’s an easy repair, not a replacement. We’ve waited 2.5 weeks just for a diagnoses. It’s going to continue being over 90 at least two weeks.

Walked, pulling my cart, to the store early this morning. It was darn hot and the cart was heavier by the time I got home. At least I got one of my walks done.

He arrived early and had a suspected problem in mind. Turned out to be exactly that so 15 minutes and one Run Capacitor later, the AC is running. Worth every penny.
 
@katlupe Why have I never noticed that you're holding a bunny in your avatar? I love bunnies (except when they eat the flowers in my garden)🐇🐇

So...about the bears waltzing out into the road. Why on earth don't they just cross where the "Bear Crossing" signs are? :ROFLMAO:

Where did I get the notion that tomorrow is Bastille Day? It isn't. It was yesterday, the 14th. Sigh. I get so confused now that my work schedule isn't fixed anymore.

In case anybody is wondering, today is not Saturday. It feels like Saturday and has since I got up this morning. But it isn't. It's Friday. I know it's not Saturday because I'm off on Saturday, and I worked this morning. So what's it gonna feel like tomorrow? I'm off Sunday, too, but I told supervisor I'd go in for a couple of hours Sunday morning and give him a hand because he'll be working alone. Working alone sux! Maybe from 10ish until noonish?

@hollydolly Is the humidity high along with the temp? If not and if you have fans at least, hang a wet towel a few inches from the fan. The fan will blow through the wet fabric and cool off the room. It worked for us back in the olden days when we lived in the desert. It's easiest to do if you have box fans that fit in the window, but there are ways to rig up the towels with any kind of fan.

Once again, today isn't Saturday. It's Friday. Tomorrow is Saturday. I don't have to work tomorrow. What's more, I'm scheduled off on Monday, too. Sometimes I just don't know whether I'm coming or going.
