Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
Even trying to sleep with no cover did not bring much relief last night.😓.
Record temp’s yesterday and will probably be beaten today.
A RED warning of extreme heat today and then hopefully getting some relief by the weekend.
Up at 5-00 this morning with the temp already 73F that will climb rapidly today.
7-00 am now so off for the paper before it get too hot.
I do wonder how Beryl is coping with this heat wish she would pop in and let us know.😘
See you all soon.😀😘
Morning Ice
We are 83 for our overnight low…..How much longer do they say you will have to endure this heat?
I wish Beryl would come by too
Hi Ardy.
Just hit the 100F this afternoon and they do say relief is on the way by Sunday.
At least when I am cold I can put on another warmer garment.lol.😀😘
WOW!!!! YES true about a warmer garment.
Hi Ice
Please stay hydrated during your oppressive heat wave. I hope you and Glenda will be okay 😘
I greatly miss Beryl and so wish she would post again here.
Hi Kathy.
Really hot and humid today but both of us keeping hydrated but I do hope it soon comes to an end.
They say it will be getting cooler by the weekend, but I see that Thunder Storms are about tomorrow.😫😘
I’m glad to know you and Glenda are staying hydrated. I know you’re looking forward to the cooler weekend forecast 😘
Up early, got laundry done; still working on putting non-perishables away from yesterday’s grocery grab. Finished filling out my primary ballot today; the drop off box is about 7miles from here; i’ll take mine and the DBs on Friday. 😘 Ice, i am so concerned about you/Glenda surviving that weather. From what i read from you and the international news, it’s terrible all over east of the Atlantic. Prayers for relief for you rather sooner than later 🙏 Ardyth, i am so sorry about your loss of Julie, i know you liked and more importantly trusted her. I wish you… Read more »
Hi Pam, I emailed my friend I have known for years, she is the only DR where Julie worked, they have to have at least one. Celia is married to Mike and Rick and him grew up together in South Dakota. I picked someone out fro their website and asked her if she thought she would be a good choice for me and she said she was. Celia only works one day now and isnt taking new patients, hasn’t for years now. She was my Dr when I first moved here at another place. I wont see the new one… Read more »
So glad Celia was able to give you reference you could try; and you have time to get used to the idea {{HUGS}} Too bad you can’t have Celia back.
Hi Pam.
Thank you for your kind thoughts, it is nearly unbearable right now and today will be even hotter but some relief by the weekend.😀😘

Good morning! Yesterday morning I got a strange text from my Dr’s office telling me to call and make an appointment with a provider to keep my keep my care current!!! Right away I knew something was up. I thought maybe Julie retired, she only works two days a week and is 73/74 yrs old. So I called and asked what was going on, asked if Julie retired and the the receptionist didnt say much but then she said she was let go!!!!!!!!!! I was on the verge of tears. I love Julie……I tried looking at the website and she… Read more »
I am so sorry Ardy, I know how important having a trusted care giver is. How cruel they let her go with no warning or good reason.😟 I followed Nichole who I had for years in Waldoboro when we lived in this area. She moved to a Brunswick practice and I followed her there, driving an hour was well worth it to have her. Soon we will be back in Brunswick. She is probably around 50 years old now so I hope to have her for as long as I am here. The day Danny passed I wrote her a… Read more »
That was very sweet of her. Julie was my kind of person…not all business, we did some talking about our lives and travels, etc.
I can tell by looking at the pictures of the NP online for the office they will not be Julie….I dont want someone all business.
My last Dr Martha was like that. I had new insurance so had to find a new person and that was Julie. Martha is still working but she talked retirement when i was with her, she is my age and her own practice so probably best to stay with the “firm’
Nichole is the same with me Ardy, we talk more personal than anything. I have felt like she is a friend, someone I can trust and share my life with too.
I pray you get a good caregiver, I know it won’t be easy.💗
Thanks
Oh Ardy.
What a crying shame so sudden as well.
Hope you find a Doctor to your liking.😧.
It is a crying shame and no warning, of course Dr Julie didnt have any warning either.
A shorter comment since my longer one was taken off for some unknown reason. It did not say ‘under review’ no idea why it was wiped out.
We are going to Holden to visit son Dennis and Danyell and GD charlotte today. It is a 2 hour drive each way so happy it is sunny and 77 degrees for the ride.
Hi Jenn
They arent working on the camp today? Have a nice trip and visit today.
I had written that they said they will come tomorrow and it will be the last day, they will finish up. It will be good to have our peaceful life back here but they have been great, could not have asked for better workers and how good it looks.
That is great
Hi Jenn.
Have a great day with your family today.😓
I cannot see a long post I made about 15 minutes ago?
I dont see it either…some people at Decorah have had the same thing happen
Thanks Ardy,
Good grief, it did post I know.
They have said they just disappear…
Good morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. More of the same last night but did manage to get a bit of sleep but up at 5-30 again. No breeze at all to col things down a bit and a Red warning out for today and tomorrow, temp’s 100F today and up to 103F tomorrow, Then hopefully it will begin to get cooler into the weekend. Hundreds of schools have shut, no AC in schools but that might change if this weather pattern becomes the norm in future years. We could break an all time record temp today and tomorrow.… Read more »
Good morning Ice,
Looks like you have hope for relief from these oppressively hot temperatures soon. 😏 We do not appreciate what we have sometimes until we lose it. So unusual for you to be so hot.
Always best to get the pets outside early with such hot weather.🐕
Hi Jenn.
It is nearly 1-00 pm and the Temp is 93F already will clear the100f by the end of the day.
Very little breeze today I am sitting by an open window facing the green but not much relief.😓😘
😥
Good morning Ice..you are having a sample of Tucson summers. It is 4am and 84° outside, expected high of 108°
I hope you will be OK
Hi Ardy.
You are most certainly right there so no Arizona for me.lol.
I am holding up ok drinking plenty.😘
What a day! So humid; i was drowning. Was able to get Chuck out the door 30 mins earlier than usual; so we made good time. At the Kroger pick-up, the shopper had my stuff and another person’s in the big cart. i knew immediately some of it wasn’t mine. Chuck asked how i knew. I pulled his attention to the item that told me; a box of trojans. Chuck told my very nice shopper that when she handed the other customer his groceries she should add her phone number to it; her response: “NO” and her NO was definitely… Read more »
