Today was a totally crappy day.

First, it is horrendously hot–I mean like standing in front of a blast furnace hot.

Then I had some issues with WordPress and reprints.  I like to reprint some of Lee’s posts that he featured on different days–and I found out that the email notices were not being sent, so those posts were in limbo unless someone just happened to find them on the blog.

I think that may be straightened out–I will know better tomorrow.

Then I had a hard time finding material to post.  I like to post things that I think people will find interesting–that can be harder some days than others.

Well, I did my best.  I hope you all have plans for fun stuff do do tomorrow and for the rest of the weekend.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Right now it is  104 with a heat index of 109.

Needless to say, the prescription run this morning was the most physical thing I did today.  This is bad, even for New Jersey.

It is supposed to be even hotter tomorrow.  One of the problems is that it is not cooling down overnight, like it usually does.  Hopefully by the end of the weekend, things should be back to normal.

I realized today that I have been having a problem all along with all the reposted material.  It will appear on the blog, but WordPress does not send e mails for previous posts.  I looked up how to correct that today, so if you got and email notifying you about the post  They Shall be as Gods, it is working.  If you didn’t get the email, it’s not working and I will have to try again tomorrow.  If you could let me know if you did get the email, I would appreciate it.

That’s it for now.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Got back a little while ago from going to the pharmacy for my prescription.  Mind you, the pharmacy is very close–and my cars A/C is working just fine.  But the short walk to the car and getting out of the car in the parking lot and walking to Walgreens felt like I was doing the Ironman challenge.  It is going to be infernal here for the next couple of days.  I am praying that everything keeps working.

Just to let you know

Yes, folks- I took most of today completely off.  I watched some documentaries and totally  vegged out.  It’s a way of beating the heat.  Have to admit it was very refreshing.

It’s going to be even hotter over the next few days.  Today it only got to the mid 90’s but the heat index was 104.  Supposed to be over 100 tomorrow with a heat index of who knows what.

I must go to the pharmacy tomorrow to pick up my prescription, but I will be there at 8 am  when they open (and before it gets too hot).  That might be the extent of my efforts tomorrow, too.

This doing nothing thing might be a whole new way of life for me (just kidding), but there is no way I’m going to do anything that would require me working up a sweat.

I am following the advice of every cat who I ever had the pleasure of living with–rest, relax and take it easy.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

This day absolutely flew by.

I was very busy, had errands to run, and other stuff.

I apologize for not posting as much as usual today, but I just did not have the time.

I have a concern about my reprints not getting out there.  My friend in Florida never got the Oy Rodney post (Whelk and Crayfish Incompatible) and I’m concerned that some people are not getting the “REPRINT”  posts.  I will have to ask Jill about that.  She is Chalcedon’s WordPress expert.

I won’t be as busy tomorrow, so I can get ready for this epic heat wave that is being talked about.  This is always the hottest time of the year, so it’s to be expected.

That’s about it for now.

Pizza for supper tonight.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Much to my surprise, I tackled another job today that I have been putting off for months.  It is just about finished.  I truly didn’t expect to handle another biggie today, but I did.  And it’s almost done.  Hooray!

The National Weather Service was down today, at least for me it was.  I have the shortcut right on my desktop, as I check it several times a day, and I wanted to find out about a really bad heat wave that is on the way for this coming week.  It says “service unavailable” and when I investigated, was informed that the service is having really bad problems and is not working.  They are talking temperatures over 100 and it’s supposed to last the entire week, without the usual cooling down at night.

I have to say an extra prayer for my air conditioner.

Tomorrow I have to hit the store as I didn’t go today, so I’ll make sure to get out early before it gets too hot.

That’s about all the news for now.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

I just realized that I forgot to post an Oy Rodney episode today!  I will take care of that tomorrow.  Sorry.

Today I tackled one of those really grungy jobs.  I had been postponing this for months, but today I donned my disposable rubber gloves and got to it.  I won’t bore you, or gross you out with the details, but it was not the most pleasant of things to do.

But it is done.

I can’t tell you how happy I was when it was finished (completely, by the way) suffice it to say it was a real load off my shoulders.  There are 2 more of those and several that are just daunting, but not yucky.

In addition to that I feel a lot better today.

I had a decent night’s sleep last night which is always a good thing.

It was gray, drizzling and cool today.  That’s sort of helpful when you want to tackle anything like today’s work.

The refrigerator is still working.  Hooray.

Tomorrow I pop out to the store and get some gas.

Slowly, a routine seems to be forming, which is also good.

I can always use routine.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
