and yet, I gave in and went to the gym with hubby during the day. After 30 minutes on the treadmill it was time to come home and get back to work. Sometimes I like that physical break versus continuous working. I'd rather go out and walk around the block and breathe fresh air, but it is too daggone hot. It's like breathing in an oven.
I heard today was another hot one but that weather disturbances from Hurricane Nora are getting ready to hit this weekend. We generally don't get much rain where we are at; while others are reporting rain and hail, we get nothing. We shall see how this plays out. I found a new link that reports the weather - it's called Arizona Weather Force. Interesting, this guy also posts on National Weather Force. He is reporting about Nora on theArizona size, and Ida on the East side of our nation. He is saying that if you livein the Pinal/Pima areas, "you are targeted for the worst of the severe storms as an impulse directly affects you with a developing easterly wave."
For the Phoenix valley, "you are within an isolated to maybe scattered type of event. This means that our activity will be hit and miss this evening and night. Lightning will happen but only a severe thunderstorm advisory." This part is funny. "sensors in the low deserts are like Phoenix Valley would pick up the outflow yes, but temperatures at night will briefly spike as downbursts would provide 'heat-bursts'; something that has never been predicted before so I thought I'd shoot my shot like a kid shooting his shot to ask their crush to the prom."
Yeah... my mind isn't functioning yet to type anything but about the weather. I had something last night... even had it played out in my mind how I'd say it.... but nothing is coming to me at the moment. Need.more.coffee.
Ok then. Just erased several paragraphs and still don't know what to write about. I'm feeling mellow, I think. Ever have those moments? I say moments because I refuse to stay there.
I think we are planning on going to the gym again today. It was kind of busy yesterday but am hoping it won't be as busy today. I still was able to get a treadmill to walk on. They have plenty of those. But they don't have a stairmaster and I may have to improvise on 9/11 for a Team I have joined.
My company has sponsored in the 9/11 Never Forget Challenge that benefits the 100 Club and the Gary Sinese foundation. I'm sure I have misspelled that... anyway - the challenge is to climb 2071 steps (same as the world trade center) on 9/11 in memory of 9/11. Yes, I joined it, and I signed hubby up too, although he doens't like to do those things. In Phoenix it will be climbing the stairs at the Gila River Arena... but we aren't going there. I don't like crowds. I don't know of any high school that we could go to and have access to the bleachers. The gym doesn't have a stairmaster.... so my plan is to use the eliptical machine as stairs cause it can also go up and down besides as a step. 2071 steps. I'm not sure I can make it myself. Definitely don't have that leg strength anymore. But I am not on a timeframe, and can take it easy. And then I got my youngest son to join me in another challenge - on 9/11. Actually we don't have to do it that way as it is more of a 'do it whenever you want' 9/11 Never Forget challenge. We already have our t-shirts and medals for that. We plan to walk 6+ miles for that one and have been talking about doing it 9/11... so I will need to figure out which I'm going to do first. I will be exhausted that night, for sure, but I do plan to do both. Glutton for punishment? Probably. Wish it wasn't so daggone hot out, son and I could do an afternoon walk.
Well, I guess I am still drawing a blank this morning. Probably should get moving and start on breakfast. Probably bacon and eggs and waffles this morning. And coffee. More coffee today. I think I need it.
Do everything in love, because love is of God.
Blessings.
