This is a first to say the least. Today we have been well over 100 degree in Fahrenheit. We never were blended into it. I was up early and my garage would not open. Thank god, for my neighbour who knew how to fix it. He was in a rush but had the time. I have been literally all over the place but I fixed my own “new computer” on my own. Yes that along with other things. I never thought I would cover so much "ground" in one day. Thank god when they invented the air conditioner for a car. Actually that's not a bad idea, I love this thing called "GPS" where it tells you where to turn and when. But I don't have that and my driving inner compass is not the same as it used to be. Shhhh, it's a sign of age don't ya know.
In addition, I went to Best Buy and almost bought Adobe Photoshop. Then I t thought to myself needs and wants. I don’t really need it and the one young chap working there in sales said that I could get it online by way of something called bit torrent. I am a bit hesitant in doing that kind of thing and I have always bought my own stuff. Yeah stuff, you know the things we like those little things that are wants and occasionally you have to say “why not”.
Overall, it was a productive day. I wrote something last night while I was finishing off wash that I have not done since I have moved into this house. Yes, I know it is my fault and no one else’s. Finally, I have it done and I have winter clothes in one closet and then summer close in another.
Meanwhile there is a main air conditioner that is and has been on all day, as the roof of this home gets so hot at night last night we had lightning like you would not believe. Moreover, right now there is a forecast for thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes. I used to love going chasing after all of these things but in all that I have done today I feel like I have had a Monday that equated to three days and I certainly feel it.
Let me fill you in on something, I do get private emails and I have had several things happen since I wrote what I wrote in an authentic manner with regards to my health. Yeah I am talking about me. I am not that vain, you may feel so, but really, I am not. I am bold but and yet I am soft. It’s the ying and yang of life.
So here, it is on a Monday. Finally, the day is over, and the night commences. For most of you that live in the hot climates – I really do not know how you do it for days on end where it is over the 100F mark. It’s one thing to have hot weather but this is called really hot, with all letters really emphasizing how it's something that everyone is buy if they don’t already have an air conditioner, hmmm - there is a "Back to School Special". And at the same time, we never were groomed into it this year.
Yeah my best bud is out on travels with a gal, and I am changing things all around. I can tell you one thing for sure. I am not about to join up with the designer guys nor the spice girls. Hmmm, come to thing of it there was never `Ole Spice....moooove over Posh!
I have bantered but I am a healed gent without shingles, and the only thing I have to do this week medically is get my one back tooth taken care of. Gotcha but it is the truth.
Hey but you know what – let me let you in one a secret. Life is good!
(There is more underlying things that are taking place but when I wish to share it I will - but it's good, not doomy shall we say...).
Just doing my thang...:)
Stay cool, Jack--- that's some seriously hot weather!!! Most unusual for your region isn't it? Heat like that can really take the starch out of your collar...all one wants is to find respite from it and drink a cool beverage.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy, busy day---Mondays can certainly be that way at times...we try to get it all done at the beginning of the week, eh?
Pending where you live but here in Edmonton. Yes it is. Edmonton is a very large city but it's very north bound. Yes we do. You know I never say "eh". lol....but it's a term that is not only used in Canada.
ReplyDeleteBut yes it has been hot and just talked to my neighbours and both were telling me how it is here usually in the summer. And this is not the norm. It's monday! But tommorrow is Tuesday.
Yikes! Hot, hot, hot!! And I suppose it's heading my way.... *L* It isn't all that unusual to have say a 38C day or two in early August. We've had hot days this year but no hot, hot ones. The hot weather this year seems to spawn all kinds of nasty storms. For a while there, we had a thunderstorm every day and lots of funnel cloud sitings and strong winds. Stay cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to get system going - wrenomatic it is hot but right now there there are storms going on. We have become a part of "tornado alley". Climate change I guess. The house is all fine. I am just watching a show called "House" and then I am off to bed.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you.
You ask how we survive in the hot climates, we stay in the AC. Sounds like you got a lot done and feeling good about it. Have a great week, Jack..............Lyn
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a happy camper Jack, like the little mouse dancing when the cat is not around. Must feel good to have your privacy for a few days and all the latitude to decorate your way. You seem so enthusiast, I think I would need a dose of what is lifting up your spirit, send me some dear friend.
ReplyDeleteStay cool Jack......Keep your glass half full.. *Smiles*
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn, last night after I had wrote this a storm came I went and took some pictures and then for some reason this computer went down and what a shame as there was hail and rain. I have an air conditioner or I should say centralized "airing", but it's not used in the winter time :). My reference to "we" is that most all reside in countries that do not have a winter, that is one at this longitude & latitude.
ReplyDeleteI am mellow. I really came back from my trip with several things at mind. There are some personal things with my family that have shed themselves and yet at the same time I am learning that there are several things that work with what we do within our lives.
ReplyDeleteWell not mellow, lol - that really isnt my way. I don't know the word for it! Yikes :)
ReplyDeleteScrew the glass - lets just drink from a pitcher! Smiles back to ya :)
ReplyDeleteG'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you were enjoying yourself while I was away, I could use some of that heat you where chasing away with an AC, lol
