Morning, I'm okay, Mint, thanks for caring. Now the washer is on the fritz.. Guess I will have to call Sears. Looks like it's going to be another hot day with.hotter ones to come. I'm tired of the whole thing, weather included. Just too old for all of this stress.
Later: Did call Sears and a repairman will come tomorrow for the washer between 8 and 5. Had to deal with verification with WM. Every so often they do this. Talked with two women last evening with no help.. Talked with a man this morning and he took care of it. Sorry to say thIs ladies but I seem to get better help from a man, at least with Walmart. Refrigerator replacement still.pending but did learn it has not been voided. Was told today that was the replacement approved in January.
Still sore but getting better. Didn't sleep too well. I need a nap! Hope everyone is well today.

What in the world? I have no idea why my 'morning' post posted again. When I started to type it just happened. Go figure.
Judith and Lorita how are each of you feeling today? Goodness, we've all got to be careful.
I had an interesting discussion with my PCP this morning. He likes you to come in twice a year - a physical, & a med check. Of course you don't have to do that, but we've chosen to follow that. Of course you can bring up whatever needs to be discussed. Today was a med check for me. We went over the few meds I take and chatted. Everything was great thus far. He looked at my legs and shook his head - I received the lecture of always wearing full leg medical grade compression hose, again. I do wear knee high ones, but they are so hot. But he's correct. I mentioned something that's happened three times. When I wake up I can tell I'm tired, which is unusual for me. I sort of drag myself around the house doing what I need to get done, fixing the meals, etc. But if I pass a chair I'm apt to sit for a bit. Again very un me. By evening after dinner my eyes are heavy and that's usually when I get my second wind. I shared this with him, he looks at me and smiles and says "your not listening." Clearly I looked blankly at him so he said "your not listening to your body. Its telling you its tired. There in absolutely nothing wrong with doing less when your dragging. Its better that you chose to rest and recover. Your body is telling you to stop and slow down." I again was looking at him and he said everything on your daily agenda might not have to happen on that day. He's totally right. I know this and knew it before he ever opened his mouth, but I guess I needed him to tell me its ok to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. So, there is nothing wrong with resting, my PCP says so!
And on that note, DH wants to play a game. So that's where I'll be this afternoon, taking it easy, playing games in the cool air conditioning, obeying my PCP!
Everyone be safe out there. The heat is back.

Eagle, I get tired sometimes. I slept most of the day yesterday and was still dozing off watching TV in the evening, so I went to bed and slept another 8 hours. Today I woke up with the sun and feel great. Age gets us whether we want it or not. I won a limbo contest at a garden party in the summer of '71, but I'll never attempt that again! I don't even park my car as straight as I did even a few years ago.
You're not getting old when your hair turns gray,
You're not getting old when your teeth decay.
But you're getting old when you start to creak
And you mind makes dates your body can't keep!

Hello Porch People!
The heat is back but it was cloudy this morning until lunch. We’ve cut grass at the Huntland place and here - 5 acres. I forgot sunscreen so I am truly a Redneck this afternoon. Ouch!
Tomorrow’s project is emptying out the AL apartment of a friend. Fully furnished. It’s all coming to my garage. I should have built another garage building next to my house since DH keeps lugging all manner of stuff home 🙄.
I threw a pot roast/potatoes/carrots in the crockpot before we left at 7 this morning so at least dinner is ready. All I have to do is roast asparagus and rolls.
Hope everyone has a good evening0
