It is hot. I have mowed twice for a little bit and will do more after supper, when it cools down a little.
Good news. . . Jane is home from the hospital. She was having those symptoms because of a medicine she has been taking to control her migraines. She is going to have to taper off of it, or at least off of most of it.
I did not get as much sleep as I wanted last night, but I promise I will do better tonight.
I remembered something that used to be part of my bed time routine. We will try it and see how it goes.
Right now I am going to go make a cold pea salad, with red onions and bell peppers and celery with the peas. I think Bob will make us some hot dogs.

It seems that the older we get the worse it is.

I did sleep better. I think I need a small snack at bed time.

I'm so glad they found out what was wrong with Jane. I'm sure that takes a load off your mind.

It really does. She has had a lot of health issues the last year or two.

I am glad to hear that your friend is home from the hospital. I hope the medicine reduction helps her.
Supposedly it will be about 90 degrees tomorrow. We've only had one day of 80 so far, so it will seem very hot to me.

I think we have only hit 90 once so far this year. Next week it is supposed to be every day.

We reached 90 one day, too. Have had several days of 88-89, but hot days are definitely on the way.

Dinner. We kind of fend for ourselves for lunch.

I am so glad she is home, and they know what caused it.
My money is the medicine being Topomax/Topamax. It did the same thing to my mom and I; my mom ended up in the hospital before they figured it out. I hadn’t wanted to be on it because of what happened to my mom, but the dumb doctor “strongly suggested” it.

Bingo!! She was told earlier in the week that it was causing some of her dementia, too.

@GardenGerty Yes, yes! That is what we were told too. And no one warned us.

Nice you got good news about Jane. Pea salad sounds interesting.
It's hot here too. Way above what I can handle.

I hate to crank the air conditioning down, but sometimes we have to.

I can relate to the heat. It's humid despite the rain.

I think the humidity is harder on us than the heat.

The pea salad stretches a long way as a side for meals in the summer.
