Today I spent a lot of time doing necessary things. Like sending the documents to that lab that keeps bugging me.
I also kind of “wrote myself out” this morning with my piece about the impact of widowhood, which nobody seemed to be interested in. Go figure.
I am also dealing with a recalcitrant water cooler/dispenser. We had a minor power failure and now I can’t seem to get all the lights back on. I will have to call the water company and find out what to do.
Some days you would just love to be able to hit a “reset” button, and start all over.
I am also having an odd phenomenon going on. It is about 70 in my apartment, and a lot warmer outside. I find myself going outside to warm up.
.
Have a good night.
See you tomorrow.
God bless everybody.

This was a somewhat busy day, a 70 mile + round trip into the city which culminated with lunch with some of the nicest people I know. Lovely day, in many ways. As we say in these parts, “spring is in the air”, which is to say that the outside temps have been as high as 97. 98 in Tucson today, which means they probably broke 100 earlier in the week. No ice on “Lake Tucson” once that happens. (For the record, there is no Lake Tucson and certainly no ice, but a local weatherman used this shtick for decades, and I like it.)
Strange about the temperatures at your place. I usually have something to say about anything remotely technical, but that seems strange.
Going outside to warm up is odd, but this building is stucco under the siding and that tends to hang on to cold (or heat)
Stucco explains it.
It holds both heat and cold
There is an Amish population in Arizona, and they have homes with thick earthen walls for just that reason.
Hi Patty,
I read your post on widowhood and didn’t respond to it that day, but read it and appreciated your comments. The reason being that my husband is 80 years old, we have been married for 63 years, and he now has alzheimer’s disease. So because we are both in our 80’s and he has this disease (for 2 years now, life expentancy with it is about 7 years or so). your comments were of great interest to me. At 80, one doesn’t expect many more years ahead, but I know that I am looking at it coming to me before long. Thank you for posting it. I follow your posts regularly, and appreciate them, and pray for you.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I can only imagine how difficult living with Alzheimer’s can be. We are all in this life together and it gives me great joy to know that anything that I say may give comfort to someone, somewhere. Thank you for your fellowship and you are in my prayers.
You are facing a lot, bit it sounds like you have a good handle on it. Prayers sent.
