Amazingly Weird!
Colt, Happy As I Am
So, calculate 50% humidity with 102 degrees and you get a heat index of something like 120 (OK, I not absolutely sure of those figures, but it's something like that. So it's not a wonderful feeling. Push the humidity up over 80% and you can't breath, you feel like you're trying to breath under water, and not succeeding.
So, today is 75 degrees, raining, and lovely even if it is cloudy. Unfortunately, it will stop raining, the clouds will clear away it will get hot and it will be so humid that we can hardly stand it, well I will hardly be able to stand it.
Enough griping. I woke up this morning with a phone call, but refused to get up yet, I wasn't ready to wake up, I wanted a few more minutes, or an hour, of sleep. Then the phone rang again, and it was over, I got up, grumpy, and a little angry at being rousted out before I was ready. I was still tired, since I'd gotten to sleep late, very late, ok, I admit that's not unusual but I can usually manage to get enough sleep to make up for it.
So, here I am grumpy, fixing a cup of coffee and the damned phone rings again, but it's one of my favorite people, my nurse, saying she's on her way, this is when she'd expected to be late, so my day brightens. I get my coffee, laptop, and plant myself in front of the TV to watch PBS, I love PBS but that's another story. Sewing shows are on, not my favorites, so I start reading my emails and find that some friends have been approved for another greyhound (adoption, and you have to qualify), and they will be getting Doug (the greyhound) in about a week, maybe less. I'm as happy as if I were adopting him myself.
Then I read my daily blogs on Orble, and thank you all for your wonderful writing, I may not comment on each one, but I do comment frequently. So, you can know that I appreciate your writing. If I don't comment, I'll start, if you don't think I'm reading your blog, let me know, I'll go hunt you up.
Can you tell that I'm feeling better? Grumpy as I was this morning, I was still emotionally stable, well as stable as I ever am, which can be very. My emotions aren't going up and down like they have been for the past six or more months, they are staying relatively stable. I'm feeling better, I don't feel like I'm being tugged in every direction, emotionally speaking. This is cause for celebration, so everyone, I'm going to celebrate a bunch, I'm going to write more, get the house cleaned, some, and packed up, more, and I'm going to be happy. I'm going to enjoy being happy and not feeling depressed.
Don't you all feel it's about time that I should let myself enjoy my feelings of being happy instead of waiting for the next down? I do! I see my doctor, psychiatrist, on Wednesday, and for a change I'll be able to report that things are going swimmingly. That will be such a good thing.
My joy is that my newest medications are working, finally. I think I'll leave this and go write a food column. I made a strange but surprisingly tasty potato salad yesterday and I think I'll share the recipe with everyone. Why not, I like it, maybe they will too.
So, I'll be seeing you tomorrow, probably, and I'll report on how my Monday went and on how Tuesday is going. One of the writers I follow had a great blog about her town today, maybe I'll write about mine, it's much smaller, doesn't reside on a river, but it has beautiful country everywhere. So...
Tomorrow, y'all.
