Hot weather

I think this is the hottest day we have had so far this year.
In my ideal life I would get up and do house and yard work before lunch, then lay down for an hour or so in the afternoon, then do outside work as it got cooler in the evening. Let's see if I can get there, once summer school is over.
It is 98 F right now, compares to 37C.
I need to refill the hummingbird feeder. He/she comes by around 8:30 every evening. I guess it is a ruby throated hummingbird, now that I got a front view. Very petite. Love seeing it.
Mentally, I am chasing medical stuff for Bob, plus I had a dental cleaning today.
My next step is to pay the electric bill and the internet. I hope to be around for a bit later.
No summer school on Friday, but I will get up and go with Bob.
Oh, and the postal service says we need to get our mailbox to the correct height and distance from the road. We are delivered by a rural carrier. I get it. I wanted to replace it anyway. I did not know there were specific regulations.
Now I know and knowing is half the battle.
I probably should do before and after pictures.

That's a bit warm. It is 92 F here. I am thinking of mid-October and hoping it gets here soon.
Our mail is put in a box along with most on this side of the apartment complex.

Some people in our town have a walking carrier,I think. Mostly we have rural driver type carriers. Individual boxes delivered from inside their vehicle.

It's a shame you have to work so hard all the time. If I had your life, I would have headaches too.

I like having a job, just wish it did not take so much of my life. Right now the problem really is juggling all of Bob's appointments and mine. I should not have done summer school. Compared to summer of 22 and summer of 23, this one is really pretty good.

@GardenGerty I guess it will be better when it is over.

I never realized that, and we have been here almost nine years. Now they want it fixed and that is really okay.

You are a busy lady. I love hummingbirds. We see them occasionally here. Have a great weekend.
