I knew this would happen. Almost every summer I sit and think I have so much to say and now I have time to say it - and I only last a couple of days. Funny how that works. As a teacher I usually talk all day - I do listen occasionally, but for the most part, I'm a talker. Then summer comes and I go silent. This year, being in my own house and alone, I've talked to myself quite a bit. I actually direct my discussions to my dog, Beanie, but she rarely answers. Does it make me feel less loony? Yes. I also spend many days just sitting around doing basically nothing. This is why I would make a lousy stay-at-home person. I can do nothing for days on end.
Today I mowed my front lawn. I practically had a heart attack. It is so hot. And I broke my lawn mower. I hit a stump and now my mower sounds like a 1967 beater truck. I was able to finish the lawn, but now my back yard is calling. It's small, I may be able to do it with the weed-whacker. I'm also having trouble with my a/c. I have the darn thing set at 80. When it runs it will run for hours on end and the temp barely changes - and when I say run, I mean run - not off and on like normal a/c units - no - this baby will run for hours if you let it. I spend my day turning it off and on. It is crazy, but I don't have the money for a technician to come and look at it. Maybe in July.
I'm saving money to go see my Dad - he had a heart attack last Thanksgiving and then open heart surgery. I saw him at Christmas and he looked so old and not like himself. It was so sad. Now he has moved to a new place and he sounds better on the phone, so I want to check and see that they are okay.
Well, I've cooled down some, guess I should get back out into the yard - weed-whacker here I come.
