Here's a change of post - I could actually feel 'air' this morning, its gentle, but its there Still feeling hot but - I'm hoping the humidity has packed its bags. There may be a YAY coming, soon ..................... Good day for you all is what I wish Xx
Beautiful weather here in the corn and bacon state. Cooler, drier and sunny, AND a three day weekend. ALSO, squirrel hunting season opens here. The downside is, the timber my son's hunt lies along the Mississippi river which is high from all the rain we had. The woods are still partially flooded. But, there are other places. My plans for the weekend are more simple than other people. No hunting, fishing, partying or cookouts for me. I'm staying out of everyone's way, right here with my TV and computer. I wonder how many will get stabbed or shot over the weekend? Be careful if you go out and about this weekend. Don't end up like this.
Good morning everyone! 94 today and hopefully my last day without A/C...tomorrow they are coming to install my new unit. Of course tomorrow our temps are only in the 80's but this was a given. The day I get my problem solved is the day the temps go down. They will be back though, we are still very hot all September and even October. Today I have to have alfonso look at one of my sprinkler heads as it's shooting a fountain of water straight up. I wouldn't care but it costs too much money. My last water bill was $40 more than usual. Or I have a leak underground and my whole yard yard needs digging up. 2 more months and we are only allowed to turn our sprinklers on one day a week so I'm waiting for that. I turn them off..we get some rain in winter. Winter is my favorite time when I save money...no watering, no AC, barely heat. Maybe I'll be able to afford $1000 a month for a lousy antidepressant. Nope, still couldn't and even if I could, there is no way I would pay that much for an old med unless it was for saving my life. Antidepressants are hit or miss anyway....mostly miss.
Good Morning Senior Forum! It is blessedly cool here today Roomie is wandering around and says it is only 67..plus it is a bit breezy with the advent of the approaching weather system. There is adefintely a hint of Fall in the air today, and the yellow leaves hanging from the tree beside the porch confirm that. I for one..couldn't be happier!! It looks like we will just get a glancing blow from the hurricane. and it should mostly be over by Saturday afternoon. Maybe this weekend will be salvaged after all... Enjoyin this cool air while it lasts, cause it is gonna get hot again...but probably not like before...Have a wonderful and awesome day everyone!!
@Chrissy Page - Same here, you can't say summer is over until early October here, so we still has a way to go ...........
It will be hot here until well into November, probably, with a few cooler days off and on. I'll take advantage of those by walking the local trails if I'm able. Good afternoon, y'all. I spent the morning catching up on online things that had fallen by the wayside while my router was acting up. I also just moved a few things around in the office so I now have a little dedicated crafts space. I hope I will be able to focus more that way, and get a lot of the crafts supplies off of my computer desktop. I'm starting another pile for donation, as well, and can't wait to get rid of the excess things I no longer need or want.
Had 2 unexpected envelopes in the mail today both of which had money in them. Now that makes for a good day!
@Texas Beth money is always a nice surprise. Especially if it lets you splurge just a little on something you might need, or better yet, something you just want. Around here the weather will be tolerable enough by October that I can turn off the all three a/c's, and turn on my old attic fan for a couple of months. My electric bill will go down by 2/3's. I'm at the point in my summer hibernation where days and time are in the count down stage.
I hear ya Ina Had a bad night even though the weather was 'bearable' yesterday, the evening heated up Couldn't get comfortable so very restless and got up like a zombie looky like Its hot as I type, so more of the same - how very tedious .................. Lets play it cool and sit in the fridge Xx
