It's supposed to be cooler tomorrow. For a value of "cooler" that I would consider unlivable twenty years ago and awful ten years ago...
Now I can't wait to have 26 degree Celsius (79 F) in the middle of the day (at night it's still no fun).
:(

I found out another brother has diabetes.
Crookshanks asked, nervously "Does this mean it's genetic?"
"No, it means your uncles drink too much soda, not enough water, and don't get enough exercise".

Sooooo much to get done today and tomorrow. Finish cleaning and organizing the house, laundry, packing, a meeting at work, mowing the lawn, baking two dozen muffins for the church's shelter breakfast, Val's appointment with the pedestrian, and maybe sleep. To my credit, I'm not actually panicking yet.

Totally, but in my family's case it's straight up obtuseness and excessive soda consumption (in the case of my most recent brother he hasn't drank so much as a glass of water in at least a decade, only soda).
Same with the other brother.
So, no, I'm blaming Mountain Dew and a sedentary lifestyle over genetics.

Yeah, I didn't blame my recently-deceased friend's diabetes and heart condition on "genetics", since both his parents are alive and free from these conditions.
I blame it on half a case of Diet Coke a day for nearly 2 decades, plus being too lazy to walk even two blocks.

I'll happily walk much farther a day... Once that damned heat will pass.
Though I drink and will continue drink a lot of soda in the last two weeks and at least until the end of this week...

I'm sure every chore-doer on this list will know this pain:
Family Member: Oh, you shouldn't be doing that! You're injured!
Which translates to, "Why don't you just leave that lying around rotting on the counter for the next 2 weeks until you've recovered enough to take care of it without hurting yourself?"
Actually doing the chores they're trying to prevent me from doing?
No... that's just not "done"...

Maybe it's just being from a long-time California family, but we really didn't have the whole "political arguments" thing. My father had some execrable opinions. We told him so. He accepted that. But continued to espouse them. But there was really no point in argument, so we just ignored him.
Its the opposite here. The inexorable opinions are in the majority and they are more thAn happy to take this opportunity to complain about the latest "liberal stupidity" that happens to have irked one of them lately. And minority opinions are both unwelcome and untolerated.

Ugh, bad pain day. I overdid it badly on Monday. My hydroponic garden needed its tank refilled, and there's no hose, so I have to carry the water over from the sink. Normally I walk with a cane, but the water container is heavy so I need two hands. I can only make it like maybe six steps walking normally before my hip gives out and I faceplant, so I've figured out this really awkward work-around that involves twisting my foot sideways, hyperextending my knee, and doing a weird kind of shuffle-walk. It lets me make the trip without falling, but it's bad for literally every part of my leg. And it took like twenty trips of this to fill the tank. Yesterday wasn't so bad. I mean, I couldn't move my leg, and I was so exhausted I couldn't put coherent thoughts together, but I was mostly numb. Not great for my to-do list though as I ended up falling down the fanfic rabbit hole on AO3 instead of doing what I was supposed to. Whoops! Well, at least I found a really good fic about my fav OTP. ^.^ (Not as good at characterization and plot as the other fic I'm reading, but A+ smut. Freehold would approve!) But today all the pain has caught up and I want to scream every time I move my leg. :/
So the takeaway from this is that I really need to get a hose....can a normal garden hose attach to a kitchen faucet or do I need some kind of adapter? I haven't had an outdoor garden in so long, I legit don't remember these things...

I did give my family fair warning that it's a bad pain day by wearing The Shirt. On the front it says "My body is a temple, ancient & crumbling, probably cursed, harboring an unspeakable horror". I always wear it when I'm feeling extra bad because humor is an excellent coping mechanism :P

You'll need an adapter for a standard garden hose to fit to a standard kitchen faucet.

Kiddo is nearly done with drivers training. Just a couple more days. And then we get to the really nerve-wracking part....having to be a passenger in the car while they drive. :O
Friend of ours is having her eldest go through driver's ed right now. Two weeks ago we got a text with the line "I'll start off by saying everyone is fine. Nobody got hurt." Then came the pictures of the totaled vehicle wedged in a ditch.
Yes, the kid wrecked their SUV, but in so doing she saved the life of the motorcyclist who pulled out in front of her at a semi-blind curved intersection that was sprinkled with gravel. While the kid was admittedly going a touch too fast for her experience level and the road she was on, she did good. Police on the scene issued no tickets and no verbal warnings. A simple "You did the best you could with the situation and nobody got hurt. Good job."

I started having The Adult Kid drive out in the country and in my home town when she was 14. By the time she was in driver's ed she no longer had anxiety issues about the very idea of being behind the wheel, which made it a lot easier for her to focus on the traffic.
I started actually learning when I was 9, not counting Granddad and his penchant for letting his grandchildren take the wheel when we were sitting on his lap at 2-yrs-old.

Just got back from a funeral for one of Mrs. Sunrise's aunts.
I'm sure that I misheard him, but when the deacon who led the service introduced himself, what I heard was "I'm a retired deacon of Our Lady of Eternal Hel." Again, I'm sure I misheard him but with Good Omens fresh in my mind, I couldn't help considering the possibility of some order of satanic priests.

Today I have attained new ranks in low class, trashy, and mind-bogglingly stupid. It's only 90 here this afternoon but the heat index is 99. On my to-do list for this afternoon were the items touch up the color in my hair (which requires heat processing) and mow the lawn. So what did I do? I put the color on my hair, put on a plastic shower cap, and went outside to mow the lawn.
If I don't actually die of heat stroke, it will be because Hermione keeps bringing me iced tea.
No, I will not attempt this again.

I'm about to finally put the correct lawnmower blade on and go mow myself. Well...um...maybe not mow myself. That would be painful. I'm not into that kind of thing. No shame for those that are/might be, but that level of masochism just isn't my thing.
It's cooled off...it's down to 87. We hit 91 with 52% humidity, so no, not hellish yet. Warm, to be sure, but that humidity is still low.
