Well, it's 101 here with a heat index at 110. Sick! It's too hot to go outside and enjoy the day, and too hot to work in the garage. The humidity is right at 40%, or so they say. It's sweltering!
Vivian was madder than a wet hen when she called at lunch. They had cancelled the longer hours for today and tomorrow, but hadn't called anyone to let them know. She get's to come home at 2:45, though. Two more hours of work and she's on her way home! She found out that she had 11 more shares of Dell stock (we already knew, but had misplaced the letter) bought through her stock purchase program. They bought it on June 30th, during all of the stuff with her mom going on. No wonder we couldn't keep track of it. We're glad to know it's there, though. Granted, 11 shares isn't much, but it's a few tanks of gas if we have to sell it.
I haven't eaten lunch yet. Just haven't been able to bring myself to eat much lately. Don't know whether it's the pain, the heat, or both.
Diane, Viv and I both were just speaking about the fall and winter this morning over coffee. We will be glad when it's here again. All the "old timers" here say this is one of the hottest summers they can remember in a long time. Their gardens are all grown over, too, so it's not just ours. Seems like the grass and weeds just got the upper hand this year for some reason. One lady's garden down the road had some really beautiful tomato plants and the maters on them were beautiful. The other day when Vivian and I were driving by, we actually saw two of them EXPLODE...I don't know if it was from the heat or what, but it was the first time we'd ever seen that happen until we were picking some from ours two days ago and it happened to us. One of the ones we picked felt like it was ready to explode, and when we let it cool down inside on the counter, it was a bit smaller in size and felt a bit firmer. Maybe the juice was too hot. I don't know.
Anyhow, ya'll have a nice day.
