Your HA is gorgeous! Thank you. I'm glad too. It's better every day. :) So sorry you had a terrible week! I hate those. Your usual heat in the summer sounds so nice! That would be ideal. The Weather channel projected that the coastal states would have lower than average temps and the center of the US would have above average. I think they were wrong. Ugh.

waves Howdy KSrs!

I'm here. Mostly just pop in and make some HAs and then go on my way. Not been super talkative but not been super busy. Currently procrastinating doing what I need to do.

That stinks about the morty card. They shouldn't be fraggable. grrr. Glad your husband didn't accidently expose himself.

I hate having acid reflux. Hope your new meds help!

Sounds like you're having a wonderful vacation! Hope you are finding some time to relax inbetween all the go go go.

- How much PT do they have you doing? I don't think the weather people know what's going on. This is is as new to them as it is to us. I wonder if there will ever be predictable weather. lol :D

- I have no idea why they are fragable while Challenger loot and Asmodeus concotions are not. I would think it'd be the other way around. Snort Yeah, me too. It was fun watching him try to find strategic ways to sit, etc. 😂

Hey there!

How have you been lately?

Carafate. It's a large pill. I have a small mouth.

Have only taken one dosage so far. Going to take the next pill before bed.

It seems to be going okay :)

we had rain yesterday but when that passed the warm weather came back. Little heat wave today and tomorrow. Oh that fan tip is a good one!

oh that is not nice, hope the new meds help.

you poof sometimes i get used to it, but glad you are back. Oh no poor morty card, that is something i would do to. lol your hubby cracks me up! I wish i could see it wen it happend lol! Summer here is weird, few days of heat then cloudy with rain and then nice and then hot again. Give me cooler weather with sun... i love fall to. Next week 2 things to do. Day trip to Amersfoort with same friend i went to the zoo and a crafty date with another friend.

i like it when i have stuff to do but i also have days of nothing, like today... All morning in my pj and relax

No PT. My ins doesn't cover it. When I called and was talking to the guy about PT and massage for my shoulder my Dr wanted me to do, we had like a 30 min conversation until we got to the ins. Only then did I learn its not covered, and the first visit would be $230. It all came to a screeching halt. Ha! I don't have $10 much less that! I didn't even ask about PT for my knee. Honestly I wouldn't do it anyway. But it is doing well, hurting less, aching less, and I have more range of motion. I think I might actually be able to put socks and shoes on now. Gonna try today for my heart dr appt. Tired of always wearing my crocs. I like wearing my other shoes. But I only do it when I'm going somewhere. :)

Waves to everyone

- Never heard of it. I hope it helps you. Stay cool down there. :D

- I'm doing ok, now. lol I'm sure you read about my week. It's gotten better since Wednesday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll last through the weekend. :D

- Oh, no! I'm sorry, hon. The state of medical care and insurance in this country is abysmal. I'm glad you're doing ok without it.Yay for puttin on a real shoe! Personally, if I'm indoors I don't wear shoes at all. :D

- ❤ You know me so well. :) While I mourn the poor Morty card, the thought of my hubby trying to keep everything concealed still warms my heart. lmao 😂 Day trips can be so much fun, but so is being a couch potato. Are you planning a binge of Downton Abbey? I bet the boys are happy you're home more right now. :D

Today I felt better :)

I hate health insurance as it's more pain than it's worth.

Was half afraid my new meds wouldn't be approved by my insurance.

It's hard to stay cool with this heat XD

AC in the living room is messing up so that doesn't help XD

to well my friend :) Your hubby is to funny and kind. Today i had a friend over as she has not been here in ages i showed her around town, had a nice drink and dinner. Tired now.. My 3rd week i don't have much to do, when its not to warm i may watch DA...

yay!

I'll keep my fingers crossed, for sure! ❤

Any plans for the weekend or the upcoming week?

I'm glad you got a little rain!

It was supposed to be super hot here today but we had a bunch of smoke blow in from some wildfires nearby so it's keeping the sun hidden behind it all and it's actually quite cool. The down side is that it's so smoky that we're being advised to stay indoors because of the health risks of breathing it all in. So picnic on the living room floor instead of outside it is!

Ive been really busy. My window air unit been acting up.. So gave it a good cleaning.. Since I did that so far no more issues.

Got 2 aromatherapy candles to try out.. also been trying to organize my puzzles.. The table is so covered in them.. I have no room to actually do one.. so got some storage containers and been trying to sort and put them away. Good thing the table is just for puzzles.. it's a fold-able put away table..(not my kitchen table)

We got some rain finally but not much and unfortunately it didn't cool anything off. Still humid. More rain tomorrow and then I think the humidity and temps are supposed to drop a bit. Though I'm not anywhere where the temps are >100F so I know we don't have it nearly as bad as elsewhere. Do have air quality alerts again from the Canadian wildfires.

My mom and I have puzzles out always. We have a closet full and many containers full. Plus piles to try and sell and donate. Love them and I usually try to work on them while I"m waiting for a meal to cook or when I'm making coffee in the morning. And often when I can't sleep in the middle of the night. Glad your a/c unit is working better again.

- XDI take it you're supposed to provide your own air conditioning, too? I just don't know how you survive 24/7/365 of soul crusing heat. :D

- Thank you. ❤ omg, no. lol I try to never make plans because they always get scuttled. The closest thing I do to planning is making doctor's appointments. ;)

- I'm glad you were able to get your AC to work. Summer is a horror without one. :D

- Oh, that sounds lovely. Eh, just be a couch potato for your third week. You've earned it. I hope the coming weather is pleasant for your last week of vacation. And you'll be off for Neugarten! :D ❤

Luckily the AC is something the place deals with. Tomorrow they're supposed to fix it.

The one great way of dealing with heat is AC. I couldn't live without it.

Also, when I have to spend a lot of time outside I find wearing lighter colors really helps.

And when making plans down here you always have to check what the temp is with humidity. Since 94 degrees can feel like 105 degrees after factoring in humidity.

we have little rain showers the last few days. Still not enough for the dry areas but still it's water.

a good clean always helps. We here have kind of boards you can do your puzzle on, then close the lit and lay it away and you can go further where you left.

i find neurgarten a bit boring as not much to do for it like other events. And the stuff i want is pricey...

Almost 1pm and still in my pj... not sure what to put on, no plans for today.. So maybe pj day?

- A pj day sounds like fun. Just kick back and relax. Watch a show or movie that you kept meaning to watch but just didn't have the time.:) Neugarten is a money pit, that's for sure. I try to get the collection items I need and then, if I have any sp left over I may get some of the clothes. The first year I was back from hiatus I had no idea what Neugarten was. So, I emptied out my sp vault buying everything. That was 2 years ago now. I didn't finish feeding all that food to my pet until March of this year. You should put the stuff you'd like on your wish list.;) :D

- That's a relief. I wouldn't last 10 minutes during the summer if I didn't have air conditioning. When we lived down there we made sure to keep hydrated. :D

Every day is a pj day to me if I don't have to go anywhere.

Oh, yeah, I wouldn't be able to live here if AC wasn't a thing XD

almost the whole day in pj. My neighbour asked me to walk with her and her dogs last night. We walked for 2 hours and i saw places (little beach, forrest) i never been and so close by, so nice. Today another lazy day but i have some household stuff todo.

Neurgarten is a money pit.. i hadrly buy anthing. Love dressing up though.

nice.. I love to stay in pj for a while but then i would like some more clothes,

- All praise the Gods of Air Conditioning! 😂 What I loved was that no matter what the humidity would make your clothes stick to you immediately after leaving the house. XD

- It's fun to explore your neighborhood. I used to, when it was easier for me to get around. Fredericksburg is full of historical places I loved to drag the kids to. Was your neighbor afraid to walk the dog or did they just want some company? Any news on your less than sane neighbor? You know, I feel the same way about Keelholiday. The only fun part there is to dress up like a pirate. :D
