I hate hot weather

I am melting. I hate hot weather as I said. I am a New Englander, 85 is too hot in my opinion. 25 is a nice winter day. I am counting the minutes until Sunday when it is supposed to top out at 75. Instead of the 100 which is due today.

I want to go to the beach today. My cold is lurking in the background again. I stopped taking decongestants the other day but they were keeping me up at night so I stopped. Now I am all congested again. My ears are more clogged again.

I think I just need a vacation.

Too bad that's not happening for another month.

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus, Happy Hanukkah and whatever your holiday to you. Some wishes are a few days early, some a few days late, and some on time but you get the point. Go celebrate, enjoy food, family, and friends.

We are having a low key celebration our selves. Well several celebrations over the next few days. Lots of entertainment means lots of fun but lots of tired me, who might get cranky and live on pain meds. But we even have some lightly falling snow outside the window to admire.

But I will have fun. I will pretend I am on a mini medical vacation. I don't have any doctor appointments for another ten days. I will attempt to pretend I am healthy and enjoy the season. But I will still blog, cynically as usually.

Happy Holidays!

Call me irresponsible

Yes I am irresponsible. First of all I  did not blog for several days and didn't tell anyone. Well, posting on my blog and saying 'I am going away and won't be blogging' is inviting the burglars in. I apologize and now I am back. My cat is overjoyed we came back even though he had a very nice cat sitter who came and fed him, brushed him, and sat with him twice a day. But he feels he was neglected and malnutreated for the duration.

I am also irresponsible because I failed to pack my medications correctly. I packed my husband's pills. I packed my vitamins. I packed one pill box with prescriptions. I did not pack my daily prescriptions in my other pill box. Saturday night I remembered to take Saturday mornings pills. Then I found I was missing my Sunday and Monday AM pills. Well I took my Monday AM pills when we got home this afternoon. And I still seem to be alive, so no harm, no foul.

I am also irresponsible in that we went on a small hike on Sunday and at the very farthest point from the car, I stepped funny and 'felt' my ankle do the similar bad thing it did about three years ago that resulted in a boot and lots of PT. Right now I am in the ice, elevation and avoidance category. I'll give it a few days before I decide if it needs additional attention.

Finally I am very irresponsible in that we came home and started to  unpack and I couldn't find my wallet. I wasn't in my bag. I wasn't mixed up in the dirty laundry. It wasn't anywhere in the car, under the seats, etc. Finally after a good deal of stress, I found it sitting on the  bed next to my purse.

But I recovered from all this now by taking my pills, fed the cat, resting my ankle, destressing, and no longer being covered in wood smoke/insect repellant perfume.

You can call me irresponsible but I may not answer.
