Good Evening! Sorry you were not feeling your strongest today, Barbara. Hope you had a chance to relax a little. Glad your son has been so much help around the house. I'm sure it makes him feel good to be able to help you and V. I'm not surprised about the juice boxes, but sorry it resulted in a second trip to the store. No fireworks around here as far as I know. Probably because many of my neighbors are older people who don't stay up late themselves. And, quite a few have gone elsewhere for the summer. I heard that the public fireworks showing in the next town were nice, if short. Sorry the fireworks kept you up at night.
I can tell that both of you can tolerate cold much better than I can, and I can handle the heat better. I remember needing a sweater in my MIL's apartment in the summer because she kept it so cold in there. In the winter, it was way too hot. Of course, she didn't have to pay for utilities. But, I notice I m more sensitive to heat and cold now that I'm older. We didn't have AC at home when I was growing up, and my ex and I lived in our first apartment plus our first house without AC for many years. I'm extremely spoiled these days, but it is very hot here.
Glad you were able to get to the store before the rain, Claudia. Nice of you to visit your friend's Mom. I hope she enjoys the visit. I have not heard from my hospice patient's son, so I guess I won't be visiting her tomorrow. He did say he wasn't sure about the next two weeks. But, I may ask the hospice coordinator to check if he will want me to visit in the future. I can also work in the office, but it isn't quite as fulfilling.
As you may have read on the other thread, I went to new exercise classes this morning -- one regular aerobic type and the other chair yoga. One of the ladies I know from strong bones participates in these classes, plus I knew the teacher from OLLI. Another Linda (who goes to the senior lunch program) came for the yoga class, and I guess she might attend again.
After that class, I went to the grocery store, and I went swimming later in the day. It was nice -- a bit cloudy, which helped. It rained very briefly after I got home.
Hope both of you sleep well tonight.
Hugs,
Linda
P.S. The yoga teacher told us that you favor one nostril over the other -- just a natural sort of thing. I had never heard that before, but I found it to be true. Anyway, she said that changes every 90 minutes, and she speculated that is why we wake up at night and turn to the other side (assuming you are a side sleeper). Very interesting to me, assuming it is true.
