It's only Tuesday.....technically the third day of the week....the second business day of the week....I'm already dragging.
The heat is taking it's toll on people here. The rain had made it bearable but now we're right back into the 90's and unbearable. We've had 2 fire fighters go down in training for heat exhaustion and dehydration.
I went to training last night instead of Saturday hoping for cooler temps. It was cooler but man was it hot. Thankfully no one went down while I was there. However it was late when I got home and then turned around to get up with the hubby this morning.
Hubby didn't go last night because he wasn't feeling well. He deals with a lot of heat with his job so I told him don't chance it, stay home. He did and fell asleep. He was adorable lol. We talked a bit then went to bed but 4am comes quickly. He has the alarm set for 3:30 but we hit snooze...a lot lol.
He almost said it's over now but then he corrected himself and said that it was just beginning. Which he is right, once class starts there will be a lot of late nights and early mornings. Sleep will be a thing of the past.
Anyway, today I go for the physical and then have to slide over to the health department for my vaccine records. If I get the note from the dr today about not being able to take live vaccines I may not have to go there. I can just get the hep B shot again and be done. I think. I may have to rethink that but that will happen in about another hour or so.
I have two sales today at 3pm at grams. I can get the floor done I just have to get in touch with the guy to get it done. I'm excited for it though.
I don't have a new book started yet but I will today probably. If I'm up at grams that means I'm in the library lol.
I'm working in the shop for a bit. I have a couple orders and there's a new shirt that I want to make...or two. I just need to grab the shirts from up grams.
I'm happy to say the new hoodies and sweatshirt I ordered are on their way. This is the first year that I will be offering hoodies and sweatshirts in the shop.
Ok that's enough of my yapping. I have laundry to fold and a Rescue meeting tonight. Hopefully a shower somewhere in between everything. Fingers crossed anyway.
What is everyone else up to? Staying cool, hydrated and safe I hope.

It will be 103 F today, which continues our scheduled ten days straight of 100+ temperatures. I hate even taking the dog out in this heat and humidity.
I hope you will be able to find a way to get more energy. I know you and your husband will really need it.
