My parents managed to be in London for this heat wave.

How, uh, lucky? Dang. Hope they can stay cool.

Our wings are not tired.
Yikes. I hope they have cool accommodations.
My neighbor stopped to chat with the workers so I asked him if he was the one who woke my dog at 5AM. Yep, had a coyote who was causing an issue, but apparently won't be in the future.

40C = 104F. There is no place on the planet where that's not considered hot. I don't care how low your humidity is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's not that bad here, but I don't understand why more people aren't here in the office where the A/C is plentiful and free. Maybe more people have central air at home than I would have thought.

Aw, I like my coyote neighbors, but they keep a decent distance from the houses most of the time.

Oh, I forgot to report that I went shopping after work last night at Home Depot, Ross, and Marshalls, which tells you a lot about my lifestyle, but what makes it a story is that Ross gives "seniors" (defined as anyone over 55) a 10% discount on Tuesdays, which I noticed on my way in and somewhat sadly calculated that I have a couple years to go. As I'm checking out my cashier asked me if I qualified for the discount and I said no, not quite but when I grabbed my bags I didn't pick up my receipt so she chased me down with it at the exit and whispered as she handed it to me "I gave it to you anyway"
I'm not sure how to feel about it. Mostly amused.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am having a rather uneventful summer. no trips so far and it looks likes we might not go anywhere. I am almost done sanding our huge, decrepit deck. I am using a hand sander and it’s taken a couple of weeks. next, staining it and standing around feeling inordinately proud of myself.
I was just diagnosed with severe osteoporosis, which makes me feel very old and, frankly, annoyed. Nothing to do for it but take calcium, meds and long walks. My 66th birthday is in a couple of weeks, so I should not be surprised, but I DO NOT CARE FOR IT.

Oh, I'm sorry about that, Scrappy. Hand sanding a huge deck sounds pretty exciting, though!

It is! And in my disgruntlement about the osteo, I forgot to mention that my BFF from California is coming on Monday to visit for a week!!!
