Daily Notes- September 21


A daily occurrence.   The Walk.  This one in the Winter.  I have this thing about having a picture up top but have not taken any new ones this week.  So, an old one.  It's the same as today only the snow is grass and the man didn't have on snow gear and boots.

I taught a class today at the greenhouse.  It was in the 80 degree zone outside and inside-- the heat took my breath away- literally.  My head was swimming.  I had to do the class sitting down and sipping cold water.  I am still a bit fuzzy in the head.  Exhausted.  I keep wondering if I made any sense? I think they were happy they had come for the class and some might return next month for the Pruning class.  I made them laugh.

One older woman was perplexed that I had given my Chinese Tree Peony a name?  Wu Peng is the variety of Tree Peony.  I was so ready to pack up and go out to the car and lay down across the seats. They were all nice people. Only one signed up and 20 showed up.

So there was that.  Riley and G were out on their walk when I got home so I turned on the ceiling fans and collapsed onto the couch.  We had taken the AC units out of the windows during the week. So, no AC.  It's okay now.  I've rested but I still have an ache in the frontal lobes.

I remember why I decided to retire.
No Law and Order today.
Antonio Brown is no longer a Patriot.
Riley knows to the second when it's Time for another set of pills.

I made homemade pizza dough and the pie just came out of the oven.  Pot roast tomorrow.  Just not enough time today.  I was going to have wine with the pizza but things are still sort of spinning inside my head.  Heat Stroke?

be sure to get plenty of fluids inside you!
coconut water works really well when i am not feeling my best and i figure i am dehydrated. even though i am not fond of the taste/smell. good to have on hand.

Invest in one of those cooling towels. You just soak them in cold water and wring them out, then place them around your neck. Amazon or Walmart has them. They have saved me when I'm working outside in the heat and humidity.

I hope you're feeling better now. Overheating is nothing to fool with.
