Sometimes I feel like a nut




I love the heat I truly do, I wait all year for the heat to come but I always forget how much the heat that bakes out of me during the day. Even on those days where I stay in the shade and protected from direct sunlight and raise that I still end up being exhausted by the end of the day. I'm tired tonight no question about it. I didn't sleep well and could have used a lot more sleep but I did okay and I'm basically okay now it's just that I feel physically worn out. We'll have to see what tonight brings as far as sleep goes. I think I've been worried about my chair, the power chair who's bearings froze up on the left side. My good friends over at you cat came and got my chair and actually did the repair this morning and brought it back this afternoon so I have my regular chair back online and using as soon as I can get myself transferred into that chair. Now I probably have to wait till Wednesday when my home health person will be here in the morning and we can do the chair trade out then. And don't forget not only the Heat but I also was able to do my 60 Minutes on the armbike this afternoon so I guess I worked myself to this point. I'll be glad to get back in my other chair with the gushy cushion. I can actually need the kitchen and push the soft part over my butt and then I would not worry about skin breakdown as much as with this cushion in my backup chair. Interestingly I look fairly good in the backup chair that is sitting straight up and down versus all over the place in my regular chair we'll have to see what happens if we can get some cushions or something to mold my body into a better seating position. Fortunately tomorrow there is no assist meeting that I have to attend in Salt Lake. This will allow me to spend more time in the reclined position reading. I'm really making a dent in the Stephen King volume I'm currently reading. I sure like the way this guy writes. This is not much of a supernatural novel or scary novel like he usually writes this is more of a detective type novel. I'm enjoying the read even if it is a little violent.


This morning before I got up, around 6:00 a.m., I was lying in bed and wondering about salted nuts I've been playing with getting some more the last couple days but have not gone through with the order. I've been so preoccupied with the kids birthday ecards. So this morning I looked up some different nut companies and found one that I used before and ordered in I think 5 lb of roasted salted nuts mixed. At the bottom of the order page it said that this order would be delivered today. I didn't really believe it that much and I had enough cashews still in my nut container I could get by until the order got here but sure enough tonight I noticed there was something under the door the shadow and I've grown to realize that that means there's a package sitting on the other side and sure enough there was 5 lb of nuts! That's a lot of nuts and a lot of them Brazil nuts. I've heard Brazil nuts or either good for you or not good for you I've heard it both ways but it's a lot of lot of nuts lot of protein hopefully I can ingest them before they go Rancid..q
