Sun/Mon, May 23/24, 2010: MISERY it is, once again!!!

Yep....summer has arrived waaaayyyy tooooo soon. Today it was 90 degrees with high humidity, enough so that you had to carry a knife with you to get from the front entrance to our sticknbrick to the car in the driveway......it was necessary to slice your way through the mugginess! UGH!!!!!! THIS is the kind of weather I despise the very most, as the older I have become, the more difficult it is for me to actually tolerate this heat/humidity........much more difficult just to breathe......and I NEVER smoked my entire life. I just simply feel short of breath and wind up puffing and panting whenever I just tie my shoe!

Yesterday.......I just spent most likely the most laid-back, relaxing day I have had in many moons. I did some online reading of the Sunday newspapers from around the country, took care of some inside "chores", and then spent a lot of time just reading my current novel, Lee Child's "The Killing Floor".....not a new book, but the 1st of the Jack Reacher series. A bit of TV during the evening........and,....soon it was...

MON: Today.......the minute I stuck my nose out the door, the minute I quickly backed up and closed the door......the humidity was horrific! Soooo, I began to plan what I was going to pack for our trip north........and by afternoon, I found myself reading my book......and I finished it. DAMN.....sure hated to see it completed. However....I will head to the Library in the morning and see if I can find some more books of the same series....at least one or two to take with me to Canada for rainy days.

I did make a trip out to Walmart to pick up my prescription meds........and then this evening.......we watched Dancing With the Stars, the first night of the Finale for the season. Some great dancing on here.......and all three couples have come such a long way in their dancing as partners, and as non-pros. Really have enjoyed this season on this show!!

I talked with Doug up in Edmonton via Skype this evening.....and the 1st Lady and Diane are going to chat in the morning about what clothing to bring. It is chilly up there and rains are forecast for the remainder of this entire week in the Edmonton area.......UGH! But.......not to worry......when the four of us are together we always have such a great time that we find ourselves laughing all the time. Can't wait!!!

In the morning, I am meeting Goldie for lunch......which I am really looking forward to doing. There is never enough time to discuss everything......but, at least we can get through the first two sentences of each topic....haha!!! And sooooo......

LIFE IS JUST REALLY GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
