The temperature fluctuated and broke high records.  It hit 97, broke a record and within 10 minutes was back down to 75.  It was back up to 85 an hour ago.  I saw high winds, no lightening, no rainbow, and not a lot of rain, but a big temperature difference in 10 minutes.   

Day started early with another blood draw.  I've really become accustom to it at this point.  I went to the Coop early and did the puzzles before 10 a.m.  It's much easier to be there that time of day, its quiet and less chaotic.

By 11:30 I'd gone for a massage.  It was extra special today, my body soaked it up, wanted it so badly and just responded completely.   I drove home and slept an hour.  I just felt so much better. But I also felt as though my brain took a vacation without me.I was not able to organize myself.

Took a ride  up and over the hill.  When I got in the car the thermostat read 104.  I don't think it was that high, but I do think we had hit 97.  By the time I got to the rookery it was 84.   The wind blew through and brought us down to a manageable temp, thank God. Again, there were no birds to be seen.  I have this feeling there are all these baby birds in nests waiting for the sun to go below the horizon to get a swim in.  

Around 5 I went over to visit Jo and Piper.  Jo's bushes are all in bloom.  They are so beautiful.  I took a few photos.  

I need new printer cartridges so that I can use my printer.  This is the kind of thing that stops me.  I want to print a few things out, I am unable to, so I don't do anything that has to do with working on the computer.  It's so silly.  I get stopped by silly things and I can't organize myself enough to make the next move. So today I did not schedule any of the things I needed to schedule.  It's going to take forever to get everything done.  I just want to quit.  But if I do that I think things will start falling down on me.  So I can't quit.  But

There may actually be a beautiful sunset tonight, but I'm already ready for bed.  That's my new reality.   I have a very full day tomorrow, we'll see if I can do it without too many naps.  I think I'm beginning to laugh at myself.

Ahh to be a cat.
