It is sad to watch our veggies die a slow and miserable death. Even the shade does not help. We tried. They are struggling. Tomatoes are becoming smaller. the peppers made a valiant come back but most likely for nothing. *sigh* Even the grass is not so good. We have yet to cut it and my brother recommened that we do not. Good call as those whom did mow have yellow grass unless they are breaking the law. It is easy to tell whom is.
Triple digits. Even when they say it is in the 90s it is 100 according to my truck and the back yard thermometer. I believe them over the news broad cast. Even the cats are mopey.
We try to keep the bird bath in the shade and full of water but it does not seem to help much. The birds sit on the burglar bars to get out of the sun and some try to get into the house. Not good for them as I have ceiling fans going full speed.
Amarillo is looking better all the time. We are going on vacation up that way in the next week or two. we are scoping out the area while we are there for the future. Hey you never know how things will pan out. My brother in-law is still pushing for us to go up there. The heat is not so good and I am becoming house bound. we are in the process of planning...both ways actually. (if we stay or if we go.) I really want to get out of San Antonio. it is growing by leaps and getting crowded by my standards. Not to mention HOT!!!!!
We have made arrangements for the cats so they should be fine. The mail will be picked up. When we get back we have tons to get done. Heat or not.
My son called (finally) he was busy. *crosses eyes* We gave him the news of plans and he just laughed. He knows I do not like to travel but once I set my mind I will. He knows that we would rather set down roots than pack up and move. He also knows how I feel about Mr. Sunshine.
I have decided that if we end up staying here and that is a possibility that we are getting central air. So you see since things are rather indecisive at this point we plan for both.
When I get back there are going to be changes in my life because...there needs to be. The mammogram scared me. I was called in for a repeat. Not something you want to hear but I figured ok so most likely no big deal. They came back and told me the radiologist wanted a sonogram. *shakes head* My appointment was at 0830 and I left there at noon. They did not tell me if they found anything. I asked the tech about it and she said though she could not give me results that I should not worry over much. Ok that could be good or bad ya know? She told me that sometimes tissue looks like what it really is not. so I will cling to that until I see my doctor when I return from vacation.
I see my endocrinologist just before I leave. I am real sure that the news is good as the last test results were normal. Actually we are waiting for them to become abnormal before treating it. To see if the other problems dissipate. They had better.
I have said this before...Each time I plan to move things come up. Some times I feel that I have no control over my life. I really resent it.
heat and fun stuff....not
