Hopefully, no damage to my “very important to me” camera.

Another resident in Escapees Rainbow’s End RV Park advertised a yard sale. I decided to “piggy back.”  I live on the main street entering the Park so individuals will see my banner. No extra preparation went into this event; just the many items left over from previous sale. Hopefully a giant step in my downsizing project.

Obsessive-compulsive; I can’t stop when something I want to accomplish. I wanted the Impatiens back on their planter display. I have requested a helper for some projects but other folks need his assistance too. Eventually, more planters to shuffle around.

The prediction: Today’s temperature will break the record that has existed since the year 1894. Yes, eighteen-ninety-four.

That area was supposed to be in the shade all day!! I’ve never seen sunshine there!!

This day is off to a bad start!!

Just prior to my absolutely always bedtime (10:00 PM), I took one capsule of Live Better (brand) Sleep Support. The hours moved slowly as I periodically pushed the button to illuminate the clock. Suddenly, at 3:30, I awakened realizing I had been asleep for one hour or less. I distinctly remembered looking at the clock at 2:30 AM. So-o-o-o, from my bedside I opened the bottle and took two Natrol (brand) Melatonin. (It hasn’t been “working” for me.) Perhaps it helped a little? I was wide awake again at 5:00–aware that I had been asleep. (I scribbled notes so I have accurate information.) Two more Natrol Melatonin and “perhaps it helped a little?”  At 7:15, I was instantly wide awake again–got up and started my day.

I hate to use air-conditioning day and night!! My trailer home was HOT!! Two fans were blowing the hot air around; the door was open but little night air entering the trailer. Only one window I can open because barely one inch on either side of the trailer between “the barn” roof supports.

“Yours truly” is functioning on less than four hours sleep. Yesterday’s sleep aid purchase wasn’t an answer for my sleepless nights!! Furthermore, this morning I cannot get my usual Today show on DISH satellite. I’ve tried everything imaginable and TV is “on” and DISH is “on” but the program(s) won’t appear. Everything was working fine when I turned the TV off last night. As stated “I’ve tried everything imaginable….” ~~ Can we turn the clock back twelve hours and start over??

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’m told my yard looks “loved.”  I welcome the additional visibility. (Especially when I have a “yard sale.”)

I’ve known Impatiens prefer shade but continued to hang the baskets on “their” hooks on special-built planter.

.

They have been blooming–and such a pleasant picture. But, this afternoon, the Impatiens were a wilted sad sight to see!! I moved them to inconspicuous locations, in the shade, and hope they revive. When I’m outdoors, I always see a dozen other things to do.

Not complaining–but I am so-o-o tired. I feel like a deflated balloon!!

Zero accomplishments the past few days. I alternate between the rocking lawn chair, on the patio, and the rocking chair in front of the television set. ~~ Too many projects; too little energy; lack of sleep; too hot and humid!! 

.

Hottest day of the year so far.  I felt compelled to document the temperature (although most readers aren’t interested). ~~ Today I almost had a stroke and heart attack. “Heat stroke” because I was in and out of my hot KIA, on hot parking lots, in and out of stores shopping for groceries and other essentials. “Heart attack” because I spent an astonishing $181.00 on “essentials” at CVS. Frankly, this morning I wanted to stay in bed but forced myself into Livingston for Aleve, and another (previously unused) sleep aid.  (I keep trying “natural” non-habit-forming.) My purchases included “natural” supplements, “natural” lotions, “natural” eye drops, etc.   I’m determined to “get healthy” again; I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired!!
