Steaming Hot Sunday

It's going to be well over 100 degrees today.  ICKKKKY....  The summer heat is setting in and I'm not happy to see it come.  Usually it's here until October.  There are some breaks here and there but it is between 90 and 110 during the summer months.  This time of year, I wonder why we didn't buy a house closer to the beach. 

Today, Dennis and I are taking Bernice to lunch.  It will be the first time we've seen her since Dad's funeral.  We talk to her on the phone often but she has been so busy taking care of business and being pampered by friends that we haven't been able to schedule a time to get together.   She sounds so good when we talk.  She is adjusting well and is handling all the little things that have to be done easily.  We are so pleased to see her able to move through the adjustment process so smoothly.  She gave SO much the past few years, especially the last 18 months.  It took a lot out of her and she sacrificed a great deal.  She took such good care of Dad and when he was in the nursing home, she made sure he had everything he needed.  She was there everyday at lunch and dinner because if he was going to eat, he would eat for her.  Bless her heart..  We love her so much for her love and devotion to him. 

I start my water aerobics class in the morning.  I'm really looking forward to it.  I wish the gym was closer because morning traffic is a concern but I will not let that be a deterrent. I'm keeping my Curves membership, too.  I'll do one 2 days a week, the other 3.  I haven't decided how to divide it up.  I'll just see how it goes.  I'm ready to kick it in gear again and to get busy losing the last of my weight.  I'd like to reach my goal by the end of the year and I can do it if I do a few extra things:  exercise, drink more water, and exercise.  LOL   My food is good.  I'm eating exactly what I need to eat and I'm still going down but very slowly.  I haven't exercised in about 4 weeks due to a shoulder injury and all the hoopla around here (Dad's death, my parent's visit, etc.).  Now, I have no excuses.  LOL  I'm back at it.

There is a lot of tension in the air right now.  I can't figure out if it's just me or if there is something bigger going on.  I have had the sense of impending doom for about 7 days.  The last time I had this feeling for this long, the Northridge Earthquake hit.  I really don't like the idea of THAT!  LOL  Now, that was a strange story.  One night, Dennis, Cari, Bryan and I were talking about how none of us had been sleeping for 3 nights in a row.  I said, "You, know, we're probably going to have a big earthquake and we can sense the tension building."  That next morning, the Northridge Quake hit.  Do you hear the music from Twilight Zone playing?   When we were all together the next morning, I said, "Hey, didn't I just say?"   None of them wanted to talk about it.  It gave them the creeps that I had 'predicted' it.  It was just a huge coincidence.  I'm not psychic.   Well, if we have another BIG one, you guys will all know that I've had the feeling for 7 days now.  LOL

Until later............here's looking at you    ô..ô
