cabin fever

Well, it's the summer edition of not going anywhere because of the temperature.  And humidity!  My corn box is steady sweating and I can hear bugs crashing against the house and windows.  There is a group of small butterflies living on the back porch and they are giving me hope, for some odd reason.

I had lunch today with our usual group minus Carol and plus Dellona.  I haven't seen her in 50 years and she has definitely aged well!  When we first started doing the lunch thing several of us were still working so it was hard to fit it in.  Now we are all retired  and we make an effort to get together when Patsye is in town.  She and Larry have an adorable high energy Sheltie to keep them busy.

Of course we all know by now that Trump is "on the list" if there really is one.  His sudden attack on Obama ain't fooling anybody.  As for Mike Johnson, shame on you and kudos to the ones who worked around it.  The interview is supposedly going on today so we shall see what morsels they toss out.  

I don't know about y'all but I'm tired of the drama.  Each and every day it's something else trying to distract from what is really happening.  Like inflation.  I have pre-pay electric and it's running between 7 and 8 bucks a day vs 5 last summer.  And that is AFTER improvements.  My car insurance is out the roof.  Groceries are pretty much out of reach for a lot of folks.  Not to mention all the expense of back to school.  As for me, the proverbial snowball is at the top of the hill...

I've been doing my ADHD routine today because that is how I roll.  I have tried to do better but dang!  There is a little trail all around the house which is strowed with things I pick up and move.  Lauren goes behind me and organizes ;)   She also loves to decorate.  She got all those skills from my mother.

I just talked with another friend who is mighty sick.  I heard thru the grapevine ( aka prayer list in SS!) that he was in the hospital.  Prayers up for all y'all buddy ^j^
