There are days like this I love it here. The temps are cool (66) this morning. It was pretty warm and humid yesterday but walking the dogs last night was lovely. It's getting up to low 80's all week so - no complaints about heat here.
There are a bunch of Perch's that were surrendered due to inability to care for them. I'm glad it happened before it was too late. They're in Massachusetts. MUST.NOT.THINK.ABOUT.IT. Last thing I need right now. Well, not last.
Well, the big guy here has finally visited a doctor (the VA hospital, I guess that qualifies). He's got signs of heart problems (high hemoglobin, club fingernails (???), and I forgot what else) I think the fingernails are hereditary because his dad had the exact same but we looked it up and - yep, that's them. So he's awaiting his cardiology visit. They've got a good one that also practices at Yale and specializes in Thoracic surgery, which is what he needs. (aneurysm repair) One of his brothers just found out that, yes, he does have an aneurysm. Another brother had the surgery - he's doing great. It's very scary to deal with. Open heart and all that.
Still dreaming of NYC. (short term) If I could get in that position for a couple of years I could shoot for a 13 job in Texas and be golden. I could handle Austin now but that wouldn't give me the opportunity to move up. I probably should be working on another certification or degree to make it easier. No reason (also) for me to not be writing. My drive has been low - I intended to clean yesterday and couldn't drag myself into the cleaning mode. Might still today.
I was invited to a local beach - okay, then it changed to Rhode Island. um, no. Why not? Don't wanna. I make the drive almost there every day for work. I can bake on a beach in my own area right where I live. Also, which I didn't say because this is what he was waiting for - my son probably needs me to pick him up at the train station. He could ride the bicycle but I enjoy the time with him. I don't get a chance to do much visiting during the week and his new days off are T&Th. He's working very hard which makes me proud. But anything I do for him earns me scowls - heck anything HE does draws scowls and criticism. That, in itself, makes me not want to be in this relationship. I will stick around for surgery, however. No, I don't have life insurance on him (for shame).
OH I made a good lamb soup yesterday. That was work. And I walked the dogs. Ta da!! OH OH OH there was a mama and baby deer out there yesterday! So glad to see them! I don't think it was my usual deer - she didn't look to be carrying. :)
Okay, gone. Happy Sunday! Hope there's relief from the heat. Stude, good luck at the show!! I hope you have those neck things that keep you cool! I just hate that you're in that kind of heat.
Connie, who's kidney function are we talking about?
