Today is Saturday, I didn’t get the mail yesterday, so I just came back in from walking to the mailbox putting out mail and getting yesterdays. Phew! The temperature reads 98, feels like 107. I wanted to take the golf cart but I parked my vehicle too close to ge it out. I felt like I was going to faint. The sun is so strong beating down, just that walk was enough to tell me I won’t be getting the mail later either.
It hasn’t rained in over a week. I can’t say this weather is any hotter than usual. Throughout the world it is hotter. England is hitting the 100’s, no one there has air conditioning. Wildfires because of the heat, are raging through France, England, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. That’s what’s going on with the heat.
Now to my week with P away at school in Savannah. At first I was actually lonely. The two weeks leading to his leaving, he was so nice and we got along very well. He made sure I would be taken care of while he was gone. Stopped at 3 places just to get blueberries.
I received a text from a high school friend who lives down here. She is my sons godmother and I am her sons. She was in my first wedding and I was in hers. When we first came down we got together after years of no contact. She would come and stay with me while P was away. Politically we are polar opposites. It really made me realize that whomever you’re around is where you’ll politically go, (I’m not sure that statement is true). Anyway for her it is. She was very free and hippy. Now she is drawn to the dark side. Fox News channel and believer of Trump.
Anyway she texted that she missed me and wanted to come visit. I said P was going away and she said perfect. She asked about tatoos and I said I was getting one for my birthday and she wanted another one. We thought we would go together. I was hesitantly excited. As the time came, I got nervous and thought of canceling. My excuse would be her politics. I also had other plans. Me and Cat had planned on going to the movies on Tuesday and I was volunteering three days this week. Busy week for me, or so I thought.
I decided not to cancel because there were many times she has said she was coming and then I never heard from her, which is exactly what happended. When I contacted Cat about the movie times, she texted back that she was in the hospital again! That poor woman. I feel so bad. This is the third time in the past couple of months and really nothing has been done. She came out Thursday evening. Now all my plans were kaput. That’s ok, because I’m fine on my own.
I worked Wed, Thurs, and Friday. I was so tired, by Friday I didn’t want to go. I had also made plans to meet another friend from the garden for lunch after the garden shop so I went. The restaurant was packed and we had to eat outside. It was in the shade and I wasn’t sweating, but nevertheless, the heat got me. My feet were swelling up and my body was going numb. That is why when I came home I didn’t get the mail.
Did I mention that I called a pool company a couple of weeks ago and they came to the house and P nixed the idea. Just saying…..
