CATCHING YOU UP

 Hello, friends!  It sure is hot.  And not just me.  It's everywhere.  I'm feeling so sorry for those people in Europe who aren't used to this kind of weather.  And don't have air conditioning.  People are dying.  I'm sure it's happening here in the U.S. too.  I am so thankful for the air conditioning in my home even if it is only a window unit.  It makes being in here bearable.

I haven't been writing because there is really not much going on besides doctor appointments and cleaning the house.  And none of the doctor appointments seem to be doing well.  More testing to see what is going on.  Lots of pain in my left knee.  So if I come to mind, please pray for me to get through this.  The good news is I lost another 5 pounds.  From this time last year I am down 17 pounds.  Yay!

But next week will be better because it is the annual Sisters Getaway.  It used to be a Sisters Week, but with the change in our jobs, my sister and I get two days now.  But we are making the most of it.  I will be sure to take lots of pictures and bring you along.

I have been wanting to get out in the yard and work but it is just too hot.  I can't do it.  And all of my plants are dying.  It's even too hot to cut the grass.  But that is dying too.  Next week we are supposed to have a break in the weather and I hope my knee will allow me to get out there and do stuff then.

I'm watching a lot of YouTube these days.  I really like picking a channel and then going back to the beginning and watching it straight through.  It usually takes weeks (sometimes months) to go through them.  Especially if it is an old channel.  But it's like a sociology class in school.  You can see how people change.  Not just in their looks, but in their way of thinking and looking at things.  How they decorate.  The things they eat.  So interesting!  And I guess we all do that.  I know I sure don't eat the way I did when I was in my 20s.

I'm hoping to get the kitchen cleaned up today.  I started yesterday and got a lot done.  But there is no a/c out there and when it gets too hot, I have to stop.  We got invaded by ants.  It happens every year.  This year is not as bad as in years past.  But I am having to scrub everything.  They especially like cat food for some reason.  Jack is unfazed and eats around them.  Don't separate Jack from his food!

He's my boy!  Even if he does scratch me up.

Joe has a wicked cough.  It started last night.  I want him to go to Urgent Care, but he wants to just take the cough medicine we have in the house.  He got up, ate breakfast, and went back to bed.  If it gets worse, I am going to insist he goes.  (Yeah, right, as if he will listen to me.)

Well, that's about it.  Not much to tell or show you.  Hang in there everyone.  Things will get better.  I'll talk to you later.
