Monday before Holiday

I had a nice quiet weekend at retirement country home with DH.  We relaxed because of the heat.  In the 90's which is not too bad, but the humidity was 94%!  I got home mid day Friday and caught up with my DH, my dogs and my laundry.  Then we sat in the shade and read.  I watered my plants real well once it cooled off a bit.  Then light quick trip to store, dinner and watching TV.  

Saturday I took my pup for early walk, she was still panting heavily even though it had not reached 80 yet.  The humidity is just oppressive!  I watered everything again and did about 30 min of weeding in my flower garden box.  My sister came over and we took a ride in the new convertible and went to the farmers market and had smoothies.  I got a late in season box of blueberries.  They were good!

Then mid day she had to get home and DH and I got a little sun before it got too terrible and then I read while he napped.  We had baked potatoes and chips and salsa/guacamole.  No meat.  I forgot to thaw anything out.  But DH had picked out a really good watermelon and we had that for dessert.  I am on week 2 of no sugar (except for fruit).  I felt sort of like I was detoxing all weekend (stomach issues - but not nearly as bad as last week!).  Then, by Sunday, I felt pretty good! 

Since I have short week at work, I stayed at home until early Monday and got up at 4am and drove 3 hours to the city.  I told my aunt not to expect me until today.  Was fun seeing the sun come up.  No traffic till about 30 miles out of the city.  Now I sit here waiting for an assignment. 

Poor DH is growing weary of this working out of town.  I am too, obviously.  But he is lonely, I can tell.  We had some really good talks.  Some plans.  Some suggestions.  But we are in it as a team.

I hope you have a short week too! 

So Much for Down Day Feeling!

So usually golfing qualifies as a down day, at least it was recreation for a change!  We have been consumed with moving and caring for 2 houses last couple years (first world whine).  But darn was it hot yesterday!  We were just melting.  Sweat in our eyes, just humid.  Made me really fatigued and my game was bad.  But, I did enjoy being out.  Then humidity eased a bit and I did about half my normal walk.  I was listening to a good FBI crime mystery audio book by Med Gardiner "Into the Black Nowhere".  So, I forced myself.  I wanted to enjoy the book, encourage some grit and assist in the puffiness my bad eating has caused.  Then we ate cool summer food - egg salad, fruit and avocado.  I do enjoy summer eating!
Back to work today and then yoga tonight.  But I am really glad the last 2 weekends of moving are behind us!  DH has hand surgery tomorrow, so I will try to schedule my truck oil change late afternoon.  Have a great Tuesday!  Can't believe May is almost over.  The golf course showed some weird signs of heat, burned grass, moss on the ponds and we could even hear the locusts starting up.  It really seemed like late July/August out there - I hope this is not a portend for the rest of the summer.
