And So We Melt

I cannot believe how hot it has been for these past couple of days. I don't think I have ever sweated so much. It was 102 degrees with high humidity today. It really did a number on my asthma. It sucks not being able to breath sometimes. But luckily, my allotted time outside was only when I need to get to my car, go into and out of places, then go home for the evening. I could not stand to be out there for anything else. If I did, I would probably be hooked up to an oxygen mask at the nearest hospital. Normally I have my asthma under control but jeez, this is ridiculous, you breath in and it is like - nothing! I cannot wait until the fall. Fall & Spring are my favorite seasons. I love 70 degree weather. My perfect temperature. Now, if I can find a place like that all year round?? Hmmm? Does such a place exist besides my dreams?

Well today consisted of my getting up around 9am. I got up did some stuff around the apartment or made it look like I was constructive. I showered, got ready quick and headed to my local Hallmark store to pick up some cards and flowers for my sister. I got her a bouquet of daises which are her favorite flower. I stink at transporting flowers though. By the time I got to her house it looked like someone played "he loves me, he loves me not" on a few of them. Oh well, it was the thought that counts I suppose. LOL! My sister is an animal lover like me so I got her a Get Well card from us that had a dog on it. She has 2 labs...one yellow & one chocolate. Harley (my cat) also bought her a card "out of his allowance" LOL! It was cute because I found a card that had a cat on it that looked just like Harley. So he got his "aunt" a get well card too. She gets a kick out of that kind of thing. The dogs get me a birthday card every year. I know, we are retarded, but it makes us happy! LOL!

So, I went up to spend the day with her. She looked SO much better. I did an internal sigh of relief inside. I told her in her card that she has filled her quota for this year. She can not make me nervous anymore. LOL! She really does mean the world to me & seeing her be so sick for so long has killed me inside. But hopefully this is the first step of her getting her life back. On Friday, she will get the catheter out. After that the stent will come out 5 weeks later from this Friday. Fingers crossed, the nightmare will be over.

I stayed a couple of hours with her then came home, met up with hubby, then we went out for dinner at our favorite Irish Restaurant & Pub. I had my "medium" buffalo strips. Love them. Then I came home & watched a couple of episodes of Sex And The City while hubby used the computer first. He got me the whole series for my birthday. I loved that show. I loved the movie. It was the perfect gift. I've seen them all before, but I can watch them over and over. I'm a "Mr Big" fan. I'm on Season 2 at the moment. Anyone a fan of the show? Anyone seen the movie?

Well I best be ending my post because it is 10:30pm and 5am comes around really fast. Back to the grind tomorrow. Hopefully this heat wave will end and I will stop melting. Sweat does not become me. All I have to say is THANK GOD for Secret Platinum. (powder fresh gel is my favorite)
