Hot and Humid -- The Fifth Heat Wave

Happy September!!

The temps will be in the mid-90s, with a dew point near 70 today. Talk about uncomfortable! Again, I’ll stay inside with the a/c. I was supposed to go to the hairdresser tomorrow, but I’m canceling the appointment. Just a few minutes in this kind of heat, and I wither. It takes days for me to feel right. So, I’ll postpone until the following week. My head is a mass of curls, but she can tame it when I get there!

My boys are coming for dinner tonight. I’ll make steaks on the inside grill, baked potatoes (with a lot of toppings,) Jersey corn, and a salad. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it won’t wear me out. For dessert, I’m thinking about a lemon cream pie – cool and refreshing. It’ll be great having the boys, again. I’ll get to hear about the one son’s vacation to Cape Cod, the other son’s kayaking, and we’ll have a lot of laughs. Of course, it also means that Kasey has to go home.  I’ll miss him being here. 

Did you know that the pope is coming later this month to Philadelphia? I’m only minutes away, but I’ll just watch on TV. The crowds and noise would be too much to handle. Plus, there’s limited transportation available. The news media had a field day, condemning all the security measures, and many people decided to stay away. But there’s a full positive response now, and I think people will come again. It drives me nuts when news people stir up trouble. The last pope I saw in person was when I was in Rome, and I was a teenager then! This visit should be exciting! My son will be there this time since he lives in the city and can walk or ride his bike there.

My grandie loved kindergarten, and he couldn’t wait to go today, running right in! So, it all worked out well. The younger one continues to improve and should be fine when he begins pre-K on the 11th.

Have a great day, and stay cool.

Peace,

Muff

  1. Hi Muff - hope those mosquito bites are better and also your bruised toe. My goodness. And ya, this heat and humidity is horrid/ I am in the A/C catching up with myself after an all day outing on our b'day/anniversary and another day out and about yesterday. The battery went dead on my scooter mid-way in Wal-mart. What a nightmare. Really made me painfully aware of how much I rely/need mobility devices to get around. :-( Pretty exciting about the Pope - He is so genuine. Well, stay cool - Love Gail, peace....

    1. Thanks -- all my injuries are healing slowly. I had a dead battery issue such as yours -- it's horrendous! At least Walmart has their own scooters -- hope you hopped on one!
