another day, another ray

Whatever else one might say about Jacksonville in the summer, all would agree it's hot. It rarely goes below 72 any time of night or day, and is usually into the 90s day after day. This is accompained, of course, by the humidity. The only variable is whether the clouds will come and we will have thunder, lightning, and a torrential downpour. Coming from the great PNW, we are certainly used to rain. But this is something else - fat rain, chubby rain, giant drops pelting you as you try to make it from your car to the house. They are now saying a huge storm is coming down from Georgia, so we may have to change our Okefanokee plans for tomorrow. We'll see.

My appointment for tonight at 7:30 has already been moved up to 4:25. Hopefully as the day progresses, another earlier slot will open up. Whatever. I'm just glad to be getting the treatments, whatever time of day or night. One reason for wanting them earlier is the fact that the storms usually come late afternoon and have been known to knock the power out. Given the demand of the cyclatron, that is not a good thing, and you may have to skip your appt for that day and do a make up, adding a day to your program. So...we push for earlier.

We went to "Fit Stretch" at the YMCA this morning after a brisk walk through the neighborhood. We were already sweating when we got to class. Then "Betty," the 78 yr old instructor, started leading our class. Ha! She's a 25 yr old posing as a 78 yr old...I just know it. She bends where a person is not supposed to be able to bend, and pushes everybody in the class to places they would never go on their own. She's actually a delightful lady, and I'm sure we'll be taking more of her classes.

On to the rest of the day...

May yours be blessed!
