Wednesday, July 1

5:18 a.m. - Just when I thought staff changes at IC Elementary were done for the summer....nope!  I was informed last night of two changes that will take place - emails in the evening.  Just one more year...get through it...just keep swimming.  

Yesterday was another hot day, and the morning forecast is showing that the rest of the week and weekend will continue the high heat.  I did try to get some weed wacking done, and I was able to get some done before it just became too hot, and I needed to stop.  I'm just not as young as I once was.  I'll try to get more of it done today.  Amber wants me to spray weeds, but days that feature winds don't make that very doable.  She also wants me to vacuum the pool, so maybe that's something I can get to today.

Tuesday, June 30

5:25 a.m. - Yesterday was productive for a Monday.  I went for a bike ride for an hour to extend my hour long exercise days to two!  I then went to the office at IC Elementary, but I was asked to close it to anyone else as the temps and humidity is causing the building's floors - especially the east end - to sweat badly creating a slipping risk.  I did get some things checked off my to-do list, which was good before heading back home and getting in the pool to beat the heat.  The Harrisons were already hear, and Kollyns and Amber were about ready to head out the door, and my mom and Mary arrived too.  I guess Jack and Rhonda had already been here and gone, so it wasn't really a pool party, just a chance for everyone to experience the pool with its new liner.   I did consider weed whacking, but in the end I decided I didn't want to do it in the hot temperatures, so I wimped out.  I opted instead for watching some World Cup soccer, and I think I'm finally figuring out more about the rules.  Paraguay beat Germany in a penalty kick shootout, which was exciting.  Then Morocco beat Netherlands in a penalty kick shootout too, but I fell to sleep before the end of that one.  

Today should be a "rinse and repeat" of yesterday.  Maybe I'll have the toughness to do some week whacking.  Or as what is usually the case, something unexpected will find me that needs completion.

Monday, June 29

5:23 a.m. - Yesterday was a lot of work, as I figured it would be.  I wanted to get that work in, though, before all this heat arrived, which has arrived today.  I did get in an hour long walk in the morning with the sticks, and it was hard on my left ankle.  I don't know if I can walk an hour today on that ankle, but I need to try.  I could go with a bike ride, but there is a strong wind today, although wind is not as much of a factor with the e-bike.  

Also yesterday, I worked on the yard, getting it mowed, and then the big job was tackling the garage.  I moved a shelving unit and a closet to the front of the garage and reorganized a lot of stuff, to help free up some space on the sides of the garage.  This effort also allowed me to a chance to sweep the floor.  

After all that was done, I threw on some jeans to go visit mom and dad and get some hay down.  I thought maybe I would work on weeds when I got home, but I didn't have the energy left to attempt that.

And on to today...back to work.  I'm not sure how much I will get done today, but I will give it a whirl.  According to the forecast for weather, the heat will be near or at 100 degrees each day this week.  I tried to contact Carmen yesterday to see if she wanted to bring Caleb and come swim, but I wasn't able to reach her.  If she doesn't appear, I'll be working on the weeds in the ditch as I try to once again reclaim the backyard.
