This has been just an awful Summer for me. I'm not having a very good time. I slept almost all day yesterday. I woke up early (9 am) and went back to bed at 11 am...slept till 2 pm....bk to sleep at 4 pm until 8 pm... then midnight till this morning at 9am.

It's been warm (not too hot) humid, rainy, yucky all week, so far. Today is no different. I have C/A, so it shouldn't be a problem..right?....Wrong!! The yucky air just seems to permiate.

I'm really trying to ignore the yuckiness, I feel and to just motivate as much as I am able and do some things that make me happy, but AAARRRGGGHHH, it's not working and I'm down in the dumps.

I know, I'm not alone and that a lot of you are feeling the same way or worse, but that doesn't help...it just makes me feel worse, knowing that you are all hurting, too..

I guess I just needed to whine. Anybody want to join me? Bring Cheese, please...I like Sharp.

Sally,

In lovely Southern California we have been saving on natural gas because all of the cooking is being done using solar technology: (1) place roast in pot; (2) put pot on porch; (3) dinner is ready in 20 minutes!

It has been unbearable here (110F) and my a/c went out while I was in Kona. It seems that my father-in-law was right when he told me not to move any volcanic rocks on the island, as the Curse of King Kamehameha would hit hard...and it did ($4,900 for the new a/c system).

To make matters insulting...it is cool today!

Drats, my butt hurts from the expenses, heat and overall weather.

The good news is that I can move my left leg now, and the swelling in my left foot has stabilized.

Geez guys...how would you like to come see your little buddy Taffers? Here in Washington State, it is lingering in the mid to upper 70's. I am loving it and am getting so much done. But that what I get for living in a rain state. Hang in there...it's got to get better!

I love extra sharp cheese so I'll bring that.

I couldn't have put the words any better Sappy.

I called today to see the neuro Wed. he is off.

Called to see the dentist. They were to packed and since I was
not in unbearable pain to call tomorrow.

Don't understand about the teeth. I just had a complete check up
1 1/2 mo. ago. everything fine. There seems to be a sore above one
tooth. I have been going through a nasty flare and there have been
times when I break out with the blisters on my lips or gums. I don't
know if this is something else that is happening.

The immune system wacks out and everything goes with it.

Sally I also feel that I am sleeping this summer away. The weather
today is so muggy you could cut it with a knife. I can only go out for
about 10 min. before I start feeling like I can't breath. Well the COPD
that I also have doesn't help.

HAVE EVERYTHING READY SALLY AND WE WILL MAKE OUR OWN
SUMMER IN HOUSE PARTY

ALL ARE WELCOME (as long as sally doesn't mind us crashing
her house)


Jappy

Can I join the party? Sorry you are not feeling well Sally and Jappy! I feel like crap! Can I say that? Well, I just did! I brought some Vermont cheddar, but I prefer fresh mozarella with tomatoes and basil myself.

It is about 90 here and we had bad storms all of yesterday and last night so it is really humid. My fatigue is also worse and I feel like I am being stabbed in my left leg everytime I walk. My arm is also bothering me and my entire face hurts (head, eyes, chubby cheeks, and teeth). I have an appointment with my pcp tomorrow as I think I may have a sinus infection.

I hope you find some relief soon. Hugs, Jules

Im sorry you are having such a miserable summer sally. Im really
hoping and praying things get better for you. Hang in there okay?

I was hoping to report, feeling better, today, andI do, a little. The weather is nicer and that helps a lot, but as soon as I get accustomed to it, it will go back to yucky.

I guess I win the Miss Negativity award today..
Maybe, I'm just getting old and cranky.

Oh Boy, Vic, that really does sucketh. Not a good week for you either, huh? First your scooter then your A/C. Whatever you do, don't ask.."What's Next"..

And, Junie, wow, that takes the cake. How cruel and selfish of your Sis to to that...sheesh..

Thanks for all your well wishes and I hope the rest of Yas is feeling better.

I think I know what's wrong with me, besides all that other Carp, I have joined the sinus infection crowd..

At least, I know that, I will get better in awhile.....better than being down in the dumps for nothing..

How are you all doing, this TGIF?

AWWW~~ My pool pal Sal and Jappy and Vic and Junie, barb, Judy and Jim and RW and everyone else suffering from pain or the heat. Wiz is right, Illinois hasn't been too bad yet, but heard the weather report, and our heat and humidity is here now.

Yest was a pre-empt of what's to come, as it rained, got hot and humid, rained got humid and repeated that a couple more times before the day was out. I can't tolerate the rapid changes. It's looking to storm again now and some people are still not back into their homes. FEMA has been in the area knocking on doors, so at least that's something. The flood has not touched us, but our poor state is in dire need of help.

I never thought I'd cuss the weather after the horrid winter we had, but if the cussing thread was handy, I'd be there sayng a few under my breath after yest.

Hope you all start to feel better really soon. Keeping everyone in my prayers and sending hugs.


Who wants to do the first dive?? Oh and pass the swiss and a wheat thin.
