So hot!

It is so hot here that it is a wonder I am not a puddle of fat on the floor, absolutely unbearable. Our little weather station is registering a temperature of 96 degrees (our garden is very sheltered). They forecast storms coming in tonight but whether they will reach our area remains to be seen, I certainly hope it is cooler tomorrow.

Not much to write about.  I have a health issue at the moment that I need to see the doctor about, I have been putting it on hold because of little Daniel.  However, we discovered today that my doctor has gone away for two weeks and his partner, the only other person I see, is not working again until Monday.  So I have to wait.  Otherwise, they have a succession of agency locums who know absolutely nothing about me which would not suit me at all.  At least the two partners there know how difficult it is for me to get to the surgery and they do make allowances for my anxiety.  I can only hope that it is nothing too serious and that another few days will not make a great difference one way or the other.  I know you will send out good thoughts for me.

Pip had to see the vet again yesterday.  He is still holding up pretty well and she has now advised giving him a spoonful of cod liver oil in his meal as well as Black Kohosh tablets.  They had to take him off steroids because of the side effects they had.  He does struggle to get up sometimes though and it is sad to see.

Becky and Daniel continue to do well.  The inside building work is all but done apart from the plumber who is working there today.  Dean is going to have a lot of decorating on his hands but from the photos I have seen it has all been so worthwhile. Their home is now much bigger and much lighter and Nathan and Daniel will have a large play area for when the weather is bad.  I truly have to admire Becky, with all the pregnancy problems she had, having to cope with the builders from 7 a.m. every morning until early evening for weeks on end and now with baby Daniel.  She has coped wonderfully and I am very proud of her.

All I neednow is to get my medical problem sorted and hopefully then wecan all relax and look forward.  Christmas is going to be lovely this year as Nathan will appreciate it for the first time.  Christmas......... oh dear, can it really be that close?  Afraid so, September tomorrow and time will just fly by now.

Hope you are all having a good week.

I sure hope you get to the doctor soon...nothing worse than feeling bad....and as for the heat...the humidity from the hurricane still lingers in our area...making the temps feel hotter than ever.  So happy Daniel is doing so well, we all are proud of Becky and her new little bundle of joy...hope you get to post more photos soon...can't wait to see how much he has grown.
Take care and hope the evening storms, help to cool things down!
Hugs,

It is hot enough here but not 96 degrees.  It can not last.  Am fading today and will lay on the board and read after this entry.  Not as bad as yesterday, but enough to cause discomfort.  Am still tired from inablility to sleep night before last.  Take care,  mark

I didn`t get alert for this entry... a slap on the wrist for AOl  lol!  Phew! it was just too hot yesterday, thankfully it`s a little cooler today and far more comfortable.  Back when Daniel was about four we had the builders in for abour 8 weeks, that wasn`t easy but I would have found it really difficult with a new baby and a toddler, good for Becky, coping so well.  Cod liver oil is excellent for cartilage and joints in dogs as well as in humans, I might start taking it myself!  I hope you get sorted out with the doctor very soon, take care my dear friend. :-)
