Here's a fun one for you that could only happen to me. So we all are aware that I received, "multiple" broken ribs on my right side from that wreck about a year ago. Well, it took all of about 9 months for them to heal up and start feeling normal again. On Wednesday, I bent over to kiss my honey goodnight. I straighten up and stepped back with my right foot and there was a dog there on the floor. I was taught you avoid hurting your pets. This resulted in me pulling the plant foot, (the right one) up and me going down hard on those same ribs!!! Yay me. I'm thinking I rebroke them. No deep breath without real pain. I'm so happy about this, (insert sarcasm here!) talk with y'all later.


Ouch;(

We're starting a 10 day run of over 100 degree days. The hottest is going to be 110F...I think they said next Wednesday. Will got my misters up over the Aldabran yard just in time. How are you Arizona folks doing? Are you in the monsoon season? When I run my ceiling fan along with the evaporative cooler, it's pretty comfortable in the house. I don't go outside after lunchtime unless I have to. It's hard for me to breath when it gets that hot.

@Jacqui : Is that stranger gone again?

This summer is just too hot! Been rare to see a day under 95 in the last month. I wouldn't leave the house if not for work and Pokemon go :p

Yes, he spent the night on his sleeper break in Lincoln while I worked. Then we had breakfast. He then left to finish his trip.

Me too. I am so tired of wearing wet clothes from all the sweating I am doing and from not really doing any real work.

Are you feeling better @Yvonne G?
Got that damn Chinese food out of your system?

This was a very mild cold. The worst day was day 1. But the day before day 1, I swabbed my nasal passages with Zicam several times a day. It must work, because I wasn't incapacitated at all. Very mild symptoms. I'm fine now, just a bit of a hoarse throat.

I have a touch of the lazies today. I still have to prepare all the tortoises' food and here I sit. Also, it's almost 8a and no sun is shining in the windows. I'm guessing it must be a bit overcast this a.m., which probably means it's going to be quite humid today.

I don't have big plans for my day. After I feed, water and clean up after the tortoises, I'm just going to clean up outside and put away all the tools and implements that I've left laying around. Maybe I'll even use the leaf blower......Na-a-a-a

You better wrap yourself in bubble wrap and put on a helmet. Hang in there. Sorry to hear you fell.
