Hot in Cali!

It is very hot here in Fresno this week. Averaging over 100F each day. I am very comfortable though. I have a swamp cooler that keeps the place quite cool even in the temperatures that we have here right now. Actually I do not mind the heat it is good for my old arthritic bones. We do have two seasons out here. Summer hot, winter cold. I really suffer in cold weather on account of my arthritis in my back, knees, and feet. Have to use vicodin for the pain. You know a nice big joint would help also but I gave that up many years ago! LOL

Well father's day has come and passed. I sent my dad what he likes best. The largest assortment of chocolate that Hershey offers at their on-line store. My dad is under the care of hospice and is dying at home. My nephew and his family take care of him. The hospice nurses check in on him on occasion. I can't visit him as I can barely walk and cannot climb steps without assistance. But I get to talk to him on occasion when I call my niece to check in with her. She is a great person. She does my grocery shopping, hauls me to my doctors appointments and runs my errands. I could not function without her!

I do a lot of on-line shopping. I think on-line shopping is great. I get all my coffee, sour pickles, honey, bread mixes for the bread maker, clothes, jerky, etc on the net and it is delivered to my door. I use PayPal to pay for what I order that way no one gets my bank info and I am safe from hacking. I learned my lesson the hard way. My checking account was looted by these scum bags from eastern Europe. Took me for over two grand. Went to my bank, Bank of the West, and they gave me a new account number and a new debit card. They also reimbursed me my loss! Fell into do do and came out smelling like a rose! LOL

The city of Fresno where I live has a program where they are replacing all the old shower heads with low flow shower heads. I have to take a shower sitting down so I can keep my shower head because I need one attached to a hose so I cannot use a low flow shower head. They are also replacing all my light bulbs with the new energy saving kind. Those thing are expensive. They are doing this for all the senior citizens in the city. I guess there are some benefits in being old! LOL

Well enough of my drivel.

As always your comments are appreciated!
