I had bugged off of walking the last several days but this morning I had my walking shoes on and ready to go . . . I just didn’t go as far as I usually would. By the time I got home I had soaked through the waist band on my jeans. . . and beyond. Another high 90s day and the dew point and humidity are also high. I was already past comfortable so I decided to clear off the patio of Oak blossoms, airplane seeds from the maple and small sticks from the wind storm that blew through at supper time last night. We were fortunate as there were buildings that went down about eight miles to the southwest of us. I finished up by doing some vacuuming in the patio porch. Local effort . . . completed.
I admit it . . . I got real and spent some time in the basement where it is cooler and I have a small fan . . . in my underwear to totally cool down. I sweat like Dad did. Not to worry, I had the house doors locked. After an hour, I was ready to wash up and tidy up to go with Dennis to his doctor appointment here in town. Dennis is in the process of going off of some of his meds that he has been on for some time. The opioid prescription is no longer. There is one other that was at 3,200 mg per day and today he is at 1,200. The carotid surgeries have been successful in fewer meds. Priceless. It is still a work in progress.
Noon had us back at home and all errands taken care of. We currently are in a storm watch. It has been raining quite hard and for all practical purposes it should help the lawn fertilizer that we just put down. The granules for the ants also likes the rain for effect. Heat, humidity, dew point, rain . . . we take it in stride and I get stitching done when it’s not a good idea to push my luck outside. It’s a win, win.
