Live Up to My Superhero Name

My, oh my! I'm sure doing a great job at it. Flashing here, flashing there and most flashing at bedtime, I'm so tired all the time. One day [I hope] a really smart woman will invent something to use these flashes in a productive way.

But wait! I bought myself a mini trampoline, to jump the hotness out of me. I know it's not cool like a stand up paddle board or running a marathon. But only goal right now is to get a good night's sleep and not feel so old and achy.  So if you want a laugh, just think of me jumping on my mini trampoline in the middle of my living room next to my elephant chair, trying to keep my balance and not fall off. 

Hope it works. Will keep you posted.

A Creative Idea for Medium Fed Ex Box

My office was freezing for the past 2 days. I need to upgrade the air condition vent deflector. With the help of 2 tall people, here is our creative use of a Medium Fed Ex box. 

We cut a hole in the back of box the size of the vent and used the cutout as shim. Then push the box on to the vent and inserted a the shim. Add a push pin at the top to hold it in place. 

I didn't tape up the box tightly, there is still few small holes for cold air to escape for when my super hero power come on and I don't melt away.

Still hot!

So I got the portable air condition. Happy! Got great sleep for about a week, then last night happen. I was hot, hot and more hot. Couldn't get comfortable all night and woke up with a terrible headache that lasted all day and I still have it. Feeling nauseated but got through the day without having to throw up. I guess that was one good thing that happen today! Who said I'm the girl with the glass half empty. Ha!

I hope I can make through the night without sweating to death. You would think I would be the skinniest thing with all the sweating I'm doing. But no, I'm just a chubby girl (okay, middle-age woman) that kind of stinks. Old sucks!

So I got a portable air condition for the bedroom

Because I've been struggling with being incredibly hot and waking up with terrible dream of being unable to breath. I've tried sleeping on the cool wood floors but that get's painful after a while. So, I'm sure WG just wants me to stop complaining about being hot and got it for me.

I'm looking forward to sleep tonight. Nice and cool with maybe the covers on me.

The change of season

I'm usually suffering from terrible allergies this time of year. Who knew the neti pot and a vacation to Hawaii saved me from my terrible honking cough. I think I planned the perfect time to be away from my giant pine tree in front my house.

But change in weather, is killing my sleep. Too hot doesn't mix well with fluctuating hormones. Especially when these stupid "hot flashes" come at bedtime. It was AC and fan for me.

Today's walk

Went for my Sunday walk in Donaldson Park. The poor park too such a beating for the last weekend's floods. I think the water was at least 4 feet-- the debris on the chain link fence was that high. It's such a nice little park right on the water. I guess that's the price you pay for water front property.

So I walked 2 hours today, ran a little in between. Still can't get myself going on the running.

I was exhausted when I got back. Took a shower then a nap for an hour. I hope this exercise help with the hotness tonight. Sleep has been very disrupted, waking up in burning heat.
