In the end...

HO CARES WHAT I THINK?

Nobody but anyways that was my thoughts on the Afghan crisis which will get worse before it gets better...

This has been a really awful summer for me.  I just was not able to push through the heat and keep to my routine of exploring and birding and hiking.  Hottest July on record, but here it's been the humidity, outrageous...most days it begins at 95% then as the sun  burns some of that moisture off and meanwhile the temperature rises, so it just goes from hot to hotter as the day progresses...it's hard to do my chores in the coolness of morning since there is no coolness of morning.  I went out last night at 11 pm it was 82 degrees...and 55% humidity..it felt like a sauna bath.  It leaves you limp and zaps your brain of it's alertness. 

So I am trying to take a mile walk at least 3 times a week not always happening...so my sis sent me a link to a Seniors  15 minute workout.  And it's really pretty good.  It's easy to do and I do feel like I have had a workout at the end of it, I'm going to embed below so  if any of you want to try it I suggest it.  If we all did this workout once a day we would improve our physical fitness Im positive. 

So today I did get that walk it was 77 and 88% humidity at 8:30 am...and I pushed thru and was done with my mile by 9 am...I got up at 8 so pretty much it's out of the  pj's and into the walking shoes...see this is what I dislike...I love to slowly wake up over coffee but I saved my coffee and put ice in it when I got back home.   

I had some mowing to do on the riding mower the only workout there is pulling it out of the mower garage, and then turning the wheel which is not like power steering and pushing the blade on and off handle which is quite a bicep work out, but only one one side!

I was soaked with sweat when I came in, you sweat automatically you don't even have to move one finger....imagine sitting in a tub of hot water, you know how it feels when you go into a hot spring? That is what it feels like.  So straight in the shower once I was in basically used NO hot water just cool water to cool me down, and then had my breakfast.  

GE get on the stick and start manufacturing AC units in this country again...if you don't China could hold us hostage...literally.  News reports yesterday said people can't find them...especially in areas where there has never been a need for it, like Washington and Oregon....they had highs of 116F this July and 1260 people in Canada and the USA died of heat related/induced problems...many are elderly who have no fans and no ac and no one who gives a damn...

This report tells me one thing AC units will become scarce.  And especially since Manufacturers don't even have them on the shelf year round this seasonal marketing BS same as no seeds on the shelf except certain times of the year? Wtf?  So I normally have to replace an AC unit about every 4 or 5 years...I have 3 currently.  I can not afford to run a central AC the electric bill is too  high!  When the one in this house was 15 yrs old it quit and we just went with window units cheaper to buy easy to replace etc...but now there will be a shortage, Should I go ahead and buy one and keep it in my shed till I need it?   I'm sure everyone is planning to do that.  

Okay so here's the video as promised..."sweat is fat drying" 

Hope you will give it a try.
