Haven't been posting as much as I probably should

[missdiane]

I do plenty of writing at work but then I fizzle out when it comes to communicating about life. Hopefully once next week is done, I'll have some mental energy to post more.

Tomorrow at 11 is when I drive JonJon down to the internal medicine vet. They do need to do a screening echocardiogram but if he passes that (fingers crossed) then I can leave him for the radioactive iodine treatment. It's about a 45 minute drive so hopefully all goes smoothly and I can leave him for his 3-5 day stay. I already have a bag packed with food and snacks and I'll tuck in one of his comfort toys tomorrow. Anything that goes down can't come back (with the exception of the actual carrier) so I'm being careful as to what blankets and such go since they'll be disposed of.

If he gets to have his stay, I may get more than 2-3 hours of sleep in a stretch. Here's hoping that this fixes him and also helps reset his brain a little too as the hunger and the yowling is giving us all sleep deprivation.

This morning I tried a couple of tricks seen on tiktok. One that I hopes work is putting foil on the windows. I didn't put it on all of them but more than half of them and since it's supposed to be in the 90s and then possibly crack 100 again later this week, we'll see if it helps. If it does, then it'll probably stay on the windows until about fall breaks this awful heat.

Ok, need to go take a shower after foil-palooza. Check in later!

Even though we have mutual access, I'm not getting your entries. I tried the foil in my windows at another apartment, didn't work very well but it could have been me. I wish you luck

Lately I’ve been making posts to access list and I’m showing we should be mutual so I don’t know. This is the first actual public one I’ve made in a while.

I’m not expecting miracles but even if it could make it better by 2 or 3° that might make all the difference. It got up to 90 outside today and right now it’s very comfortable inside and it’s right below 76 which I hope it’s a good sign. Thursday is still forecast to get above 100 so if I can keep it ideally under 80° then I would be comfortable to sleep

I'm in Central (not UPSTATE, as it is often referred to) New York State and I just checked you out. I can't believe in such a short distance there is so much difference. I'm sorry it's so warm where you are.

Today has been a welcome break. It's only 72 at 2pm! Granted, it's kind of clammy and damp but I'll take the break. Thursday's still forecast for the triple digits so foil, do yer thing!

I hope the foil trick helps! Sending cooling thoughts in your direction, as well as positive thoughts for JonJon's treatment!

Yesterday when it got up to 90, it only hit 76 inside which is good. If it can manage to keep things under 80 inside when it gets to 100 on Thursday, I'll consider it a win.

Oh that is definitely worth the effort!
