Even though the temps have been horribly hot, we’re still getting some wonderful daytime clouds, which tells me there is moisture but it can’t seem to get down to the ground.

Well this is cool! 😃

In lighter news, after I left my psych this afternoon, I saw an interesting church nearby and decided, despite it being an oven out there, to pause for some photo taking.

Yeah, Ms. "OMG these hot flashes are destroying me!" goes and spends 10 mins shooting during which time, not only did her iPhone start to overheat, but...why yes, a hot flash surged through her bones.

I'm one smart cookie, yes sir I is. But, I took some cool shots! 😂

This is what happens when I don’t get up from the couch fast enough. 😆

FOOD!! COFFEE!! 😋😍 And after I have filled my two-day old empty belly, I’ll be a snoring hibernating bear.

Thankfully, despite the difficulties I had with fulfilling the required mandated swallowing of the colo-prep shit, the procedure went well.

Thanks everyone for putting up with all my whining and bitching and groaning these past three days. ♥️

Old Muffler Boy is going strong tonight! 😂 (please forgive the pathetic quality. Video’ing is not my strong suit)

This is all the paperwork says. Well except for the night before when all I can have is liquids.

I think if I’m to keep wearing these, I should change ‘em to “Gone Batty.” 😎

Bath time!

Summer in the desert: THE HEAT!! IT'S BURNING THROUGH MY BONES!

Summer in the Midwest: THE HUMIDITY! I'M DROWNING IN SWEAT!

Oh, how I want to escape back to Kauai!

Smitty’s keeping me safe.

Since my lap was taken over by Mr. Smits, Ms. Mads resigned herself to lounging on the couch arm behind me. All was hunky dory, until another firecracker went off. 😢

All crashed out on my lap. 🥰

It’s too stinking hot so I’m having a salad to try to cool off.

I had a yellow brunch today! Well, except for the coffee cause that would be icky.

(No crepe masters need comment for I know my crepe skills are an insult to crepe aficionados.)😁

Wow!! 😍 I checked my walking steps chart to see how I did yesterday, (Sat), while out at the farmer’s market & other areas. Almost 6k!

In one day I surpassed my daily step average of three years by around 2,000-3,000! That is if I’m doing the math even remotely correct, (which given my wonky processing brain), this is an amazing achievement!

All thanks to having a walker now!! Thanks to my spine NP helping me! ♥️

And this photo says it all, “Yeah human, ya ain’t getting anything more from me tonight.” 🤣😂🤣😂

Dang it! Almost got him!

Yet again, I reach for the phone to snag some video to show y’all how silly he is and he stops. 😂

Late night lite snack of a couple local items I picked up at the farmer’s market this morning.

Heidi’s Raspberry Lavender Jam, based in the Village of Corrales and tandoori bread from Halal Eats, a small home-based bakery, that sells at markets around town.
