I hurt. I am r e a l l y , r e a l l y tired. I have been trying to do some research. I cannot focus. I cannot concentrate. Thank goodness for spell check. I HATE the DAMN MONSOON weather system! DAMN MONSOON weather system and NO RAIN!! I suffer for four to five months thru these DESERT MONSOONS for a lousy 5-6 inches of rain! This "SYSTEM" has been going on for about three weeks now and not a drop of rain. I take that back--we got a drop! A drop. They were dancing in the street. Well, no they weren't because it is TOO DAMN HOT to dance, in the street or elsewhere.
Don't get me wrong. I know the east coast has been sweltering. And, I know for some strange reason the east--and west--coast homes do not have central air. Yes, they are not supposed to have those extreme high temps. BUT LOOK AT THE NEWS! The last several summers they have had record breaking heat. So, home builders, landlords put in AC!
Would somebody explain to me WHY , back in "the good ol' days" people chose to settle here? I mean they are traveling across the southwest and they come upon the desert and they say to each other, "Here. Here in this melting, sweltering sand dune we will build our homes." And, then they all say "Yes! We will build here, where its hot as hell and almost never rains."
And next year I will be in New Orleans, cursing the rain. "At least in Tucson it didn't rain every single day. It was hot, but it wasn't so DAMN humid all of the time!"
You just can't please some people. Especially those that are HURTING and are WAY PAST TIRED!
Later,
me,
CJ
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by and say thank you for the comments you have left on my blog. They have really meant alot to me.
And I know what you mean about heat...it sucks!
What the hell just happened? I wrote a long comment and then it disappeared. Anyway, I was telling you about I would have never made it as a pioneer woman. They would have shot me. I can't understand why anyone would pick Vegas or Tuscon and say "hey, this looks like paradise, let's settle here." Hotter than hell..........
ReplyDeleteFeel better sweetie......I know this sucks big time.
xoxox
Oh my gosh I love rlee8235's comment. Too funny. The weather is wreaking havoc with many of us with Auto-immune Disorders of all types. It sucks to say it mildly. Chin up and gentle hugs. Tazzy
ReplyDeleteMy car's thermometer registered 119 yesterday! Now the weatherman said it will be hot and sticky today...........GREAT.
ReplyDeleteI say Hawaii.
Feeling any better sweetie? I don't know what's in the air but everybody hurts bad right now. I wish we all lived closer. It would be kind of cool to be able to hang!!
Hugs CJ!
OMG, Rose! I just checked the weather for Vegas and its 112 with "severe weather warnings"!!! You poor thing!! STAY INSIDE, WHATEVER YOU DO!!! It’s only 102 here.
ReplyDeleteNo, Hawaii! They have what they call "pineapple juice", aka light rain, almost everyday. The HUMIDITY!!!!
It would be so nice to live closer so we could visit every now and then, at least! I am afraid we are spread out from one coast to the other!:(
I HAVE TWO NEW READERS (AND FOLLOWERS plus, of course, MISS DOGKISSES!!! THANK YOU!)
I have read Sarah's blog for awhile now. She is one strong lady! Only 21 and going to college with this nightmare! Thanks so much for stopping by and joining my followers -- all four of you!! : ) I do so enjoy your blog, Sarah.
And, Tazzy! You are brand new to me! Thank you for reading my blog and becoming a follower, too! It is sooo nice to get feedback! Sometimes I feel like I am dangling out here all alone in the ozone (Oh, the beginning of a poem? or a country song? “All Alone in the Ozone”) Anyway, it does get lonesome sometimes. I write my blog as a journaling thing, too, like many of us do. But still, it is nice to know someone is relating in some way. I look forward to more reading on your blog—I want to catch up!
Thank you to all who read me and who comment. Your observations and your caring and support mean the world to me. This blog has been a life saver to me, so again, thank you, thank you.
Hugs, hugs, hugs, (but very soft and caring)
me,
CJ
Oh my gosh CJ, that sucks. I'm soooo sorry. I can't imagine how awful it must be. It's hot and humid in Chicagoland, but not nearly as insane as that. Either way, I know humidity sucks, and I hope it goes away very soon! BLECH!
ReplyDeleteHi CJ,
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why you'll be in New Orleans. Are you moving there? I've been to New Orleans once. It was humid and hot. I was standing in line for a show, had nylon stockings on and they literally fell down. I had to take them off right there in front of people. They swelled or something. I'd never seen anything like it! My date and several others around me thought it was funny but I was one embarrassed white girl (that's why I had the stockings on 'cause my legs were so white). I've never had any desire to go back, even though I'm glad I got to see the place.
I wish you and Rosemary would move here to my state! We'd all live near the mountains where it's pretty and cool, especially at night. We'd sit on our front porch and talk. Now isn't that a nice thought?
I hope you are feeling some better. Maybe it has rained there since this post. I've been in lots of pain too. I had a back spasm that put me down for three days. I had to take extra pain pills, which I was thankful for, but wasn't able to do much. Sometimes pain medication is the best thing I have going in life, or that's how it feels.
I get really tired of being tired and in pain. Really really tired of it. It feels like I am watching the world from a little window.
Do you get muscle spasms? I can't take muscle relaxers without throwing my guts up. I took breakthrough meds which drugged me up but spasms are hard to treat. I could barely move my body. By the third day it went from my neck all the way down my right leg! Today it is a lot better. Thank goodness 'cause I have to take my son to the dentist today. Driving is hard on me, even on a good day.
I'm thinking of you.
gentle hugs,
Miss Dogkisses.
Awww thanks, I'm glad you liked my recent blog post. I will admit that sometimes I am absolutely horrible at keeping up with my blog, but I do try. And of course I'm following you! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are on so many meds as well...its a pain in the ass, isn't it? Have you ever ran out of the house and forgotten them? Oh man, that's the worst, and def not something I would ever recommend! And I know what you mean, it's so hard to "get used to" the concept that this is life from now on. I try to remain hope that there will someday be a cure, or at least better treatment, but I just don't know. And trust me, I have days where I don't know what to do with myself either.
As for reading my other blog...I'm not sure what blog you mean? Or did you just mean another blog post? (Damn fibro brain, I have no clue, lol.) But yes, I do have some PTSD. I try everyday to overcome it. And thanks for the prayers.
Many hugs to you,
Sarah
