Hot, sticky, blind, and grateful

In this photo we see my friend Joanne watching TV while Daffy sits on her shoulder. I took the picture several years back, but I like looking at it still. Reminds me of happy stuff.

Today it is hot in my apartment. The building is designed in a way that lets the temperature get about 15 degrees hotter in my place than outside. If it is 87 outside then it is nearly 100 inside. Sweltering.

Much of the afternoon was spent in bed with the window A.C. on. My eyes are not focusing today so I am not up to doing anything requiring good vision. It's not an eye issue, it's a neurological issue that flares up when my immune system is stressed. I learn to compensate and realize it will be alright soon enough.

I am grateful right now because (I had let my prescription drug insurance lapse and I thought I was in a pickle since I am out of some necessary things....but,) I made a phone call (hour long hold time) which gave me the fantastic news that I am still covered for August. Now I need only to figure out how to pick up these things while my car is down. My pharmacy is about a 10 minute drive from here. It will work out.

I am grateful for my bedroom and the Air Conditioner there.
I am grateful I have experience that lets me know I will see better tomorrow or the next day.
I am grateful I have prescription drug insurance for the month.
I am grateful I have a good doctor and medications that make my life bearable.
I am grateful I have friends that love me.
I am grateful for creative ideas and adventures.
I am grateful I am still learning how to be a better ME even at middle age.
