here, there and everywhere

the heat index today was over 105 degrees for the SEVENTH day in a row.

i know you were just dying to know that.

cooler weather is on the way, although it won't last long. did you know more people die from the heat than from hurricanes and tornados?

****

today was a day of rest, much needed. the knight was out there in the heat, working his ass off. he is the hardest working guy i have ever known. quite a change from the unemployed ex i was stuck with once upon a time.

so many adjustments to make...kindness. there's a lot of kindness here. a bunch of understanding, a truckload of laughter, and even a bucket of tenderness. it's unfamiliar territory for me, but i'm enjoying the discovery stage. i'm smiling a lot.

: )

****

i also did something i normally don't do...i actually stuck up for myself. it felt really good, and i didn't even have to swear. well, not out loud, anyway. i gave someone a piece of my mind in a rational, intelligent manner that will most likely blow their socks off. i got my point across, i'm sure. may that whole debacle now rest in peace, cuz i'm done.

****

the demongirlchild said something that made me cry today. she told me that my example to her was courage, strength, and grace in the face of adversity. yes, she actually said that! i had to go look in the mirror to see who the hell she was talking about.

just me. no big whup.

i guess i can't call her the demongirlchild anymore, shitdamnhellfire.

****

i'm working on a couple of non-fiction pieces inspired by some news items that have caught my attention, and the ongoing saga of health care in this country, namely the drug game. hopefully i will have something to post soon. i guess the drug thing is developing into a series...or an obsession, i can't decide which. does it matter?

****

okie doke, tomorrow's another day. i'm girding up. i had to uncross the body parts because it was getting hard to walk.

:)
