Too Hot.
Too Tired.
But tomorrow is a new day.
In the meantime, use the few minutes (or seconds) that you would have spent reading "Mainely Tracy" and -- well, I guess you've read this post already. So, never mind.
Stay cool, everybody!

Back to Work
It was about 110 degrees out today. Well, maybe not quite that high, but Lew said the temperature display in his vehicle "said" it was 107 at one point.
I went to see my vein surgeon today. Except for a little bit of phlebitis, everything is looking good! He made a joke about me having to wear the evil stockings for the rest of the day. Uh, sure...especially in this heat. I think NOT!
After my appointment, I went to work. Lew went for a walk on the beach. (Stinky!)
Lew picked me up after work and we went over to his mother's house. Today's her 82nd birthday! We celebrated with Italian sandwiches and chocolate cake.
Pepper actually came out from under the bed tonight to eat her "night-night" goodies. She's always on the lookout for Cocoa, though. Poor kitty.

A Day Off
Lew and I had the day off from work today. I guess a lot of America did, today being the paid holiday for the 4th of July for 2010.
I slept in, which was wonderful. I don't get the opportunity to sleep in very much.
I read for a great portion of the day. I love reading. Unfortunately, I don't get the opportunity to have uninterrupted reading time all that often.
We had a family cookout tonight to celebrate Kaelen's birthday. Her birthday was actually over a week ago, but her family wasn't here in Maine then. My big contribution to the cookout was providing the venue and starting my dishwasher afterward.
It's almost time to get to sleep. I have to work tomorrow, but Lew doesn't. He's on vacation this week! I'm not, because I don't have enough vacation time.
And what do I have to say about that??
"Stinky!"

Independence Day
Happy Birthday, America! May God shed His grace on thee....
Lew and I had a delightful day celebrating our freedom. We started by celebrating our freedom to worship and attended church this morning.
The afternoon was spent reading, snoozing, and watching the Red Sox go down in defeat. (But we still love them.)
Lew grilled some hamburgers for dinner. We took a walk afterward. I guessed 12 for The Motorcycle Game. (Mom and Kim also entered guesses of 20 and 16, respectively.) Lew said "lower" than my 12. We saw only five. Congratulations, Sweetie!
Cocoa and Pepper met tonight. I missed the meeting. My understanding is that Pepper was smelling a sleeping Cocoa when Cocoa awakened, saw Pepper, growled at her, and chased her under the bed. Well, the cat went under the bed but the dog didn't, thank goodness.
I had to leave Pepper's "night-night" goodies under the edge of the bed. She hasn't come out yet. Cocoa has gone to the camp for the evening, so hopefully Pepper will emerge at some point.
Poor kitty!

Summer Has Arrived!
Kim, Joe, and Kelsey are now here for their annual summer visit to Maine. Kaelen has already been here for a few weeks. (Which reminds me -- I haven't worked on my song at all!)
Cocoa, the dog, also came. After being cooped up in the car for two days, he was ready to do some running. So I had him on his leash out in our yard. At one point, he started to wildly dash around me in circles. I was afraid he was going to choke on his collar, so I tried to spin around fast enough to keep up with him. I couldn't. But I did succeed in getting dizzy. Cocoa wound around me, and then he unwound. I felt like one of those tether-ball poles.
Kelsey went to stay overnight with her Aunt Debbie. Her "Aunt Debbie" as in my sister. I also have an Aunt Debbie, who is my father's sister. It can be confusing.
Kaelen went to stay overnight with her parents at the camp. That's where Cocoa went, too.
On her way out the door with Debbie, Kelsey proclaimed that summer is finally here! (Smile....)

But I DID Eat a Salad Last Night!
Tonight's dinner:
Chocolate ice cream and Cheez-Its.
And my lunch break was spent buying some new shoes.
I'll eat a healthy meal tomorrow when we meet our friends for breakfast. I'll get an omelet with tomatoes, green peppers, and mushrooms....I promise!

To Be Discontinued....
I told Lew that I wanted a salad for dinner tonight, as I hadn't eaten any green food in several days. (I really do have to work at eating vegetables. It's not a natural thing for me.)
One of my favorite salads was the Chicken BLT Salad from Wendy's.
Did you notice my use of the past tense?
When Lew stopped to pick up said salad, he found out that Wendy's no longer has it on the menu -- at least not at the Wendy's he stopped at.
My response to this was, "Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?"
Lew told me that I must be the only person in the country that liked the salad.
There are other food items that I have really liked that have been discontinued.
So, is it really me? Is my patronage the reason a great food product meets an early demise?
Post hoc, ergo propter hoc!
