The rain is here / myLot

July 30, 2024 8:18am CST

When I got up it was sunny, but I could hear thunder in the background. We have a downpour at this moment. No yard work for me. Also no need to go out and water things. I get very sleepy in the early evening then go to bed and cannot sleep. It was after 3 when I finally slept this morning, and that will never do. I know my most recent med can have that side effect. I just wonder what to do. I hope the rain keeps up, otherwise it will just feel like a sauna, with lots of steam.

Nice for Ma Nature to give you a day off from your chores...

At some point I will need to catch up, though.

I'm sorry you didn't get to sleep until 3 this morning. I hope the rain helps and it doesn't become a sauna outside.

The rain certainly makes things grow well, and it all looks pretty and green. But hot and sticky as well.

@GardenGerty I'm glad it looks nice and green. I'm sorry the hot and sticky came along with it.

I hate when it just feels like a sauna outside. I hope you get something better than that.

It ended up pretty sticky. I guess that is normal.

Wish we could just order up what we need and when we need it.

Our sunny morning is starting to change over to clouds and I guess the predicted rain is coming. Not being able to seep is horrible.

I decided I will not take that medicine. I have not had any sleepless nights since then.

I would call your doctor about your problem with sleeping. Maybe he will change the dosage or give you something different. Good luck. Have a good day.

Heart doctor wants me to take it, my primary was not sure it would be a good fit, but she called in the prescription because the heart doctor wanted me to at least try it. He forgot to call it in. There are several side effects I am having, so I will not continue with it. Luckily none of them severe, though. I will follow up with my primary care.

with the rain falling the air becomes cool right? I hope you always take shelter inside the house, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and surf the internet. It must be comfortable to be on the bed with a blanket right?

While it is coming down it is cooler. When the sun comes back out it feels hot and steamy.
