Chapter 24



Good Morning,

The sun is up already, and I’m fairly sure it’s going to be hot and humid.  Oh well, just another summer in Missouri.  It usually stays hot through September.  At least most of the schools are air conditioned so the kids aren’t suffering.  In 1980, (I was barely legal) when my first husband and I got married, it held the record for the highest temperature on that date since records started being kept.  The shoe factory (where I worked later on) had ambulances all over the place taking people to the hospital for heat exhaustion, while the factory manager sat in his air conditioned office.  These employees stood over machines that heated up all around you.  Mine did, though I know other machines got much hotter than mine.

Well, the doctor appointments have started again.  Last Friday, I saw my endocrinologist, and this Friday, I see my primary care doctor.  In August, I see the G.I. and the dermatologist.  Last but not least,  we get to go back to St. Louis in September or October.  Yippee!!  Well, if you can’t beat them, join them. 

I’m absolutely exhausted after watching Ann’s little Gibbs run the house over.  It’s a good thing there weren’t any cats around or they'd wish they were in a rocking chair factory, just for the rest!!!  Tee hee.

  1. typical boss sitting in the air conditioning while all the little guys are sweating to death.
    Gibbs and I have been doing lots of walks to try and use up some of that energy he's got. It helps but he still requires several games of go fetch after the walk

  2. Thanks for stopping by, Ann. It would sure be nice if some of that excess energy could be transferred to us. Of course, the price in treats would be quite high. Well, at least it would be with our critters.

    2. Winter here now, Arlynda...but it feels more like autumn. We've only had, what we would call, a couple of chilly days. Our winters here in Queensland don't get very cold. I enjoy the cooler temps...it's good to put on a jumper/sweater for a change...rug up a little. :)

    3. It looks like where you live would be like living in northern Florida here, They suffer an occasional frost that messes with the fruit harvests, but anything less than 40F is considered rather cold down there while 40 is considered rather balmy during the winter where we live in the central US. Speaking of such, we are way past overdue for another hard/very cold winter up here, which I am not looking forward to.
