Good Morning :-)
Hello, everyone
How is everybody doing on this Monday morning?
I just got back from dropping Lee off at work. It is already a scorcher here today, only 9:40 am, and it is 89 right now, and the weather guys say it will reach 104 again today. I love summer, but this is probably "pusing the envelope"... (remember that?), just a bit. This 104 stuff, with the humidity we have, making heat indexes feel 110+, is just a tad bit too much. It makes it so unbearable that you don't want to get out or do anything but sit inside in the AC, or in a swimming pool, which we have been doing alot of at Landon's. Even at 89, it already feels like 95, so who knows what it will feel like by this afternoon.
Despite the heat, we had a pretty good weekend. I had to work Sat. morning 8-12, but was able to get off a little early, around 11, so that was nice. When I got home, poor Lee had to try and work on our car. The brakes needed fixing, but the heat was so horribly unbearable, that he didn't really get started on it till about 5:00, when we were fortuante enough to have some massive cloud cover come in, and give him a little bit of shade. Of course, it never fails, when he was just about done, at around 7:00, we discovered that we needed a small part for the car, but were stuck with no car to go pick it up. It sucks only having one car. Fortunately, Sunday morning, Kirk stopped by O'Riley's and picked up the part that we needed before going to work, so once we had that, it didn't take Lee long, and the brakes were done, and the car put back together before noon.
The Boone County fair was going on last week, and we were wanting to take the grandboys to the demolition derby last night, the final night. But, after checking into it, and after just spending $100 getting the car fixed, we didn't have much money left. With another 4 days before Lee get's his paycheck, we didn't feel like we could spend the $30 it would cost for us to get in, so we opted instead to just go to Landon's and take the boys swimming. We knew that they'd enjoy that just as much, as they have both turned into little fishies!! After swimming, we fixed some supper, and then hung around until Landon got off, around 9:30. When Landon got home, we watched a movie...."Hostage", with Bruce Willis. WOW!!!! Talk about an "edge of you seater", movie. The action NEVER stopped, and it had you on pins and needles through the whole thing. Moriah wanted to spend the night, and watch a couple more movies with Landon, and then I told her I'd pick her up this morning, shortly after Landon has to leave for work. He's there again today, as he was yesterday, from 11-9.
I don't know that I'm going to do much today, unless Moriah and I decide to go back to Landon's this afternoon to swim. It wouldn't surprise me if that's what we do. Sometime today, I think I'm going to dye/highlight my hair, as the gray is REALLY starting to shine through...lol. I've got a couple of different colors, and am trying to decide if I'm going to go dk. auburn, or blonde highlights, both of which I've done before, and like them both. So, I'm still trying to make up my mind on that. Of course, that won't take too long, and once that's done, may just head out to the pool again today, since we're looking at the 110+ heat index again today.
If all goes as planned on getting our cars back together, we are going to be going to Indiana the first weekend on Aug. to visit Lee's mom and cousin Cindy. We received some distressing news from Cindy a couple of days ago, saying that they had found a lump in her breast....not her first. Fortunately, she has seen her dr. and it is only pea sized, and state one, so they feel that a lumpectomy(?) is all that will be necessary. She will be having that done on Aug. 4, and it should be same day. So hopefully, by the time we get there late on the evening of the 4th, she will already be home. We probably won't head back to Missouri until Mon. 8th. We still have not heard final word on the motorcycle, but hopefully will hear something definate on that, and will be able to bring it home with us. Unfortunately, we do not have a trailer hitch to pull a trailer, or have access to a truck, so it is going to have to be driveable in order for us to get it back home.
Kirk just called. He's had to work the past 7 days in a row, and now, fortunately, has the next two days off. They're going to be headed over here in a bit to do some laundry, and then talked like they might go to Stephens lake...located at a park on the campus of Stephens College, here in Columbia. We may decide to go with them swimming, instead of going back out to Landon's as it would be closer, and Landon will be at work anyway. Just so we're somewhere either in the AC, or in the water. That's going to be the only cool spot. We're all having a bit of an issue with my dil, Amanda, including Landon, and it's about all we can do to be there with only her around, unless Landon has the day off, and is there. I do my best to just bite my tongue, as if I don't, then the only other option is to stay away, which keeps me from my grandboys, and Landon, and I REFUSE to let her do that. I'd sooner bite off the end of my tongue, than not be able to be around my son, or my grandbabies. So, I doubt that Kirk and Tara-Lee will want to go out to Landon's to swim, considering she will be the only one there while Landon is at work.
Well, I guess I'll stop blabbering, and head out of here to go get Moriah, before it gets too terribly hot...lol, 92 now. I'll be back here before too much longer, and will probably be checking in with all my groups then.
Hope you all have a great day. I'll talk to you all soon!
Love,
Lev
