Feels Hotter Than Hot

I know I talk a lot about the weather.  It has always interested me.  And I think I've always been aware of how I feel in different weather scenarios.

Yesterday the valley hit a record high of 105 degrees.  When it's that hot, it hurts to breathe when you're out in it.  And a locked car parked for even a few minutes could cook pizza on the seats. So when the thermometer reads 104 degrees out, even a little shade is hugely beneficial.  I was lucky enough today at the grocery to find one of the few parking spots with a bit of shade.

I was trying to hurry at the grocery, I still haven't much energy and wanted to get home, when my phone rang.  It was our sweet friend (a sister - she's in her 80's - that The Husband home teaches) calling to check up on me.  We had briefly chatted on Sunday, she knows I've been sick, and was calling to see if I am improving.  Haven't had that happen very often, mostly it's me checking up on others.  Made my heart do a teensy little happy flip.

I'm grateful to have had a night without a coughing fit, which made for a much better night's sleep.  Lots of things go better when one is well rested.
