Soupe ~ I hope you get rain to save your plantings. Landscaping is far to expensive...

Nothing of any importance is going on for me. Im still scratching like a dog with mange. I break down in tears over it sometimes… it’s terrible. But I stay busy with my Diamond art. It’s been dreadfully hot here. Humid as can be UGH ! So my daily walks had to stop. Anyone else have a huge problem with tolerating heat being on psych meds ?? I know they effect me something terrible. I just can’t handle it .

I went out to feed the birds today and a humming bird flew right into my arm. We have probably a dozen and they zoom all over so I wasn’t a surprised when it happened lol

Hugs friends

I feel your pain regarding internet connection, but we're still unsure what causes our intermittent issues. Hubby has even called our provider, but it did little. Plus, our new house is a long but narrow one that we call "The Noodle". In one part of the house we must connect to a different router than another. Hassle!

I love hummers and miss them, greatly. There are none in Europe. That's sweet you had an encounter like that. Maybe he/she needs glasses, though. Once Hubby and I went to a hummingbird sanctuary in Arizona and one sat on my shoulder. Hubby was jealous!

I hope your psoriasis eases soon.

Yes on the heat, and surely my meds play a part (esp. Seroquel and Tegretol), though I've never been able to tolerate it. I get overwhelmed, and not only sweat but burn easily. No tan. I'm of the Anglo Irish stock with super fair skin. Hubby calls me the Vice President of a cement factory. Only some freckles give me a tinge of color. Perimenopause adds to all of this. Sun also bothers my eyes. I need to wear sunglasses. I keep a sun hat handy and try to always use moisturizer with sunscreen, when I'll be outside long.
