Yesterday, I realized what a difference 1° can make. My Mom told me that she was cold so I told her to turn the air off. That was a big mistake! Without the the air blowing, it heated up to 72° which proved to be too warm for me and I was lethargic. My Mom asked me if I wanted to go to sleep and I shook my head and that’s when I knew that I needed the house to be cooler.
It took a little while, but then I could see straight again.
it kind of stinks that it has to be like this for me now, because my ribs shake now when it’s cold:
I would much rather be cold than overheated. 1° makes a huge difference!!!
Today, I watched, AcrosstheUniverse and when it was over, it was the beginning of, Nine lives of Christmas on the Hallmark Channel.
So, I thought it was a win, win, win because my power came back at 9:02 p.m. today:
We (I say we, but I mean my Mom) talked to Jane at K and B and she said that we will need to get our generator serviced because it’s been used for three full days.
So, the power is still out in my area. I received a text saying that the power would be restored tonight at 11:30.
I just. got an email today saying that my estimate had been updated and it’s not going to be restored until July 6 at 11:30 p.m.
I am so beyond grateful for my generator!!! I am comfortable sitting in my house. I am not phased by this update because I have power. We cannot run the washer and dryer and my Mom is a little upset about that but I told her that the air-conditioning is much more important so we’ll just have dirty clothes?!
I don’t leave the house physically until July 15. Dewan is picking up my chair on the 10th To get repaired and will bring it back fixed before the end of the day.
My Mom thinks that my next-door neighbor has a generator as well because they have lights on. I reminded her that she told them about the generator last summer.
I got super uncomfortable this evening and I couldn’t understand why. Until I checked the weather and I could not believe that it wasn’t still 95° at like 7 o’clock. This heat is horrible!!!
My house is probably around 75° even though it’s set at 70°. I am just trying to endure this heat wave! I watched Voicemailsfor Isabel again today. That’s my fourth time and I think I’m understanding a little bit more, meaning that I can see everything a little bit better. I do that. I watch the same movies over and over again. My eyes take a few I can really get what’s going on.
After seeing it so many times, I get what’s going on. I NEVER planned on being in my homebound life, but this is how it is. Sean watched it with me for a little bit today when she bought the food truck. I remember that song was my JAM in high school!
I could sing along a little bit because I know all the words, but I can’t sing anymore. My lungs can’t handle that anymore and it’s too warm for me to bust out my breathing exerciser to work on that.
I absolutely LOVE the ending bridge, “I love you, I miss you…” I still remember belting that one out! It sucks that I can’t anymore. Maybe in the fall, I can bust out my lung exerciser breathing tube thing and maybe it will come back. but if not, I still have my memories… those have not really faded that much. It’s kind of painful for me when you think about it…
