To Hot to Write

I did not write to my blog yesterday because I was running around most of the day and by the time I got home I was too hot and tired to get my brain working. The weather folks keep reminding us that the temperature is going to be above a hundred degrees until Sunday, and then it is suppose to be in the high eighties.

I have been spending my mornings watering my gardens and then at noon I have been going to church to cut up fruit for the basketball camp that our church is helping organize. This morning I had my first tomato from my garden this season; there is nothing like a fresh tomato right out of the garden.

Yesterday afternoon Kathleen and I went over to the other side of the river and ran around for a few hours and then spent the rest of the time in traffic. I was able to pick up my prescription at Fred Meyer yesterday and we also got a few groceries. I brought some coupons so that half of what we got was free. The clerk even asked me where I got some of my coupons...I have my sources!!

This morning I just had cereal with blueberries and a banana as it was already too hot to cook eggs and hash browns. After eating I put my dishes into the dishwasher and gathered up everything else that I could find and then turned it on.

I went for a walk before it got really hot, although it was warm enough that I did not want to walk too far or too fast. Then shortly after I got back I changed clothes and went to church to cut up fruit.

I was the first one there; so what else is new; and I had three quarters of the fruit cut up before most everyone else showed up. The was one lady that showed up shortly after I did but I spent more time showing her what to go and trying to work around her that I finally asked that she just take the fruit that I cut up into the trays.

The last fellow showed up just as we were finishing up and asked if there was anything that he could do, so I suggested that he transport the fruit to the place where the b ball camp was being held.

Then when everyone else left I cleaned the knives, cutting boards and sinks. Then I dried everything off and then before I left I mopped the floor. By the time I went back outside it was really heating up in fact Kathleen's SUV did not really cool down enough for me by the time I got home.

Once I got home I changed back into my work shorts and tee and went back downstairs and had some lunch. Kathleen did not finish her ham hoagie from last night so I had that along with some deli salads and a dill pickle. After eating I emptied the dishwasher and then put my lunch dishes into it.

Since then I have not done much moving around as it is just too hot. It was over ninety degrees by noon today and they are telling us that the temperature will probably stay in the mid seventies tonight.

Well the 1600 news just came on and we have set another temperature record. They just said that tomorrow it is suppose to set another record and is supposes to be the hottest day in over a decade. Where is all that cool rainy weather when we need it?

I think that I am going to call it a day as my butt is getting too hot to sit here any longer!
