The heat and heat index are enough of a fat burner….It’s past hot today…I’m melting. The temperature is about 96 degrees, but the heat index is 110 degrees. I can’t stand much more of this heat, that’s for sure.
The thing that bothers me is that it’s not even August yet. August is usually our hottest month. Of course this is Kansas, and that means the weather can be rather unpredictable.
As mentioned in an earlier post, it has been unbearably hot here, with the heat index up at 110 degrees or so.
What makes the situation even worse is the fact that our ac is pretty much crap. It only gives us about a 5 degree difference between outside and in the house. Plus we can’t run the ac at night, because if we do, it will be 93 degrees in here at 9am, making it hotter in here than outside. We do not know what the problem is, but I’m going to talk to my landlord about it when I get the chance.
I have to laugh when I hear commercials or see magazine advertisements for weight loss supplements right now. In 100 degree weather, the last thing on my mind is food, therefore it has been really easy to shed a few pounds.
Now come winter, I might be singing a different song. I tend to gain a few pounds in the winter, because I can’t be outside as much as in the spring and fall.
In the sweltering heat of her apartment, finishing the hydroxycut reviews was really the last thing she wanted to do, but work was work. One of the benefits of being self-employed was that she could choose, up to a point, when she had to work. One of the things she often had to remind herself of though, was the fact that if she wanted to remain self-employed she had to sit down and get the work done in a timely manner….
So with thoughts of a dip in a nice cool pool floating through her head, she sat down in front of her computer and started typing.
Well, along with the eye cream, I might be in the market for the cure for hair loss. This whole situation with the girls, and their friend is just driving me nuts!! I would like nothing more than to tell the girls that they can’t be friends with her, because she has shown what type of friend she will be, but I can’t do that, not yet anyway. I must let the girls learn on their own, unless something happens that is a major, and then I will put my foot down.
In the meantime, I pull my hair out in frustration, because I must let them learn to pick their friends, and I am sure this will be a valuable lesson in that area.
Things keep going the way they have the past few days I’m going to need anti wrinkle eye cream.
I went and got my car looked at, and found out that I need new tires all the way around.
The girls keep spit-spatting back and forth, which does my nerves in for sure. Plus they are having problems with a friend, as in she isn’t a good friend but the girls don’t want to admitt that and stay away from her. This isn’t a choice I can make for them. It does stress me all the same though.
I don’t know if my laptop memory is messed up or not, but I do know I have other issues with it. No internet for one. It’s supposed to be wireless capable, and I can’t get it to work, not since I had to erase everything off of it, and put it back on. I also know that it won’t play games now that I used to be able to play on it. Plus the black holes on my screen. All in all I have issues with it, and it’s way down the priority list, so I make due with Dad’s computer which is older than dirt by computer standards.
My Mom is trying to get her disability social security benefits. She desperately needs them, and has for acouple of years, because of the injury to her back. I pray every day that they approve her application.
She is so unsteady on her feet, because of the damage to her back from a fall down some stairs several years ago. Seriously, if the wind blows to hard, she blows right over. No exaggeration!
I think barcode scanners have their place and time. I think they have made shopping both easier and harder in some ways. Most of the time you don’t have to worry about if the price tag has fallen off the item, however there are those times when the barcode is not put in the system, so the item won’t ring up.
I do think that barcodes have gone a little to the extreme. I mean in some places you have to scan a barcode for fountain drinks and such things.
So tonight was supposed to be the softball/baseball appreciation night at the pool. Rain clouds starting coming in at about 5pm, so we called to make sure they were still doing the pool thing and they said “yes”. So come 6:30 we head into town, just to find out they were resceduling the pool night. *LOL* Just my luck I suppose.
Anyway, we went to Dairy Queen for ice cream instead.
