Hot, HOT, HOTTIE!

The heat is back, baking me in it's hot oven.  Making me feel like a wet lump with sweat trickling from my brow and down my back. I am not as heat resistant as I used to be. When I was just a young woman it was nothing to be putting up alfalfa bales in 100 degree weather. Boy, I couldn't even hardly sit out in it to watch Taylen's baseball games Saturday.

The Sandhills Dirt Devils are going to the state playoffs in Lincoln, NE this next weekend. Jessamyn is taking Taylen, Sam, and Jarret to Lincoln and  then Monday she has to make a beeline back so the boys can show their 4-H calves on Wednesday at the Sheridan County Fair. Jay is in banking school in Boulder right now and is unable to help. It is his second summer in a three summer run so he can receive his masters in banking and finance.

Paqui, Zeyda and I are going to Brian's mother's family (Groeger) reunion by Evergreen CO on Saturday and Sunday morning. We will be stopping to visit Darrell and Margie, my brother and his wife Friday night. It will be a weekend of family all around. Hopefully, there will be cooler temperatures and no mishaps. It will be the first time I will use my navigation on my new vehicle.

I am off the blood thinners and can now take NSAIDs for the inflammation and pain. Yeah! The swelling is down in the knee and I am getting around better and with less pain. I had my six week check up with my doc and an x-ray was taken to make sure my new metal was in its rightful place. Thank goodness it was and I am doing great! Look mom, no walker, cane or stick to hold me up. Just need those flexible supportive shoes.

Tonight I am going out for a lady's movie with my friend Linda. Yes, the movie is Magic Mike. At least I won't have some man's belly button in my face and can slump down in the dark theater if the movie embarrasses me too much. Go Girls!
