102 this morning. Our high yesterday was 96° again and it is supposed to be 99° today. We are going to be around that for the next few days. I am hoping that it will be getting more Fall like before long. Come on weather, October in almost here!

I am curious how you like the diabetic shoes and if they are that much different than regular shoes. I don't really know what they are supposed to do. I don't have a problem with edema in my legs or feet and I don't have foot pain so probably not necessary but then if covered by Medicare it may be worth talking to my podiatrist the next time I see him.

Yeah, I'm not so sure what is different, other than it is built exactly to your own foot contours so there won't be spots you have to "get used to/break in". I do have problems with swelling in one leg/foot so maybe they will help with that. I can never find full shoes that fit both feet which is why for so long I have worn clog type shoes.

I also am going to talk to him re compression socks for the swelling in my leg and all the veins that show. I am really liking the diabetic socks I got on Amazon. They have ever so slight compression and no elastic at the top. They can be folded over or worn ankle length. I have never been a sock wearer either as the elastic always was too tight around my right ankle/shin whatever length they may be.

Guess it is just time to take care of my feet too!

98 this morning. Our high was 98° yesterday and we are supposed to be at 100° today and probably around there for the rest of the week. Come on October, maybe we will start to get into cooler weather.

Looking around it is time to start cleaning up a bit, or really a lot!  ::)

103 this morning.

70° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 81°/48° and sunny. A decent week ahead highest temp day Wed then down to 70's/high 60's rest of week.

Busy day ahead today. Besides the new shoes, tracking says the iPhone will arrive by 8PM to my PO box which means I can pick it up tomorrow!!

I just updated my MacBookAir to Sonoma 14.7 and I see now there is a new OS Sequoiia that apparently went live 9/15. Sadly it looks like my MacBookAir is too old to take it. (2018) Guess it is close to time to upgrade that. But darn it I have to get my pump house re insulated before this Winter sets in and that will take any extra $$ I'll have.

108 this morning. Our high yesterday was 99° and it is supposed to be the same today.

Well I did get started on getting some things cleaned up but more to do today, mostly moving stuff to the trash.

106 this morning.

71° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 86°/51° sunny but a small chance of a few showers in the evening/overnight.

Picked up my diabetic shoes yesterday, I like them but they are going to take a bit to get used too. Very comfy insides and lightweight. They told me to just walk around in the house in them for a couple of weeks to be sure the fit is just right. If II wear them outside they won't be covered for replacement if the need any adjustments that can't be done in dr's  office. I'm not used to full shoes, I wear mostly clog type shoes, so it is an adjustment for me. But I think I'm going to like them!

USPS tracking shoes my box still in Denver...sigh...

My pump guy is coming this morning to figure out what I need to do to fix the insulation in my pump house for this Winter. Then my friend and her husband are coming over to finish installing the window. So another hectic day!

I hear you! It felt so good to drop off those bags to the Goodwill yesterday. And there is more where they came from. And then the garage full of "yard sale" stuff too! I really need to get serious with this clean up/out!

Well leave it to the USPS to miss their "estimated" delivery date but I hope it gets there soon.

103 this morning. Our high yesterday was 98° and it should be the same today and for the rest of the week.
Getting an early start this morning, I have an appointment this morning with my gastro for maybe setting up another colonoscopy. Not real happy about that but I guess it is not the end of the world.

109 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 78°, today's forecast is 73°/42° partly cloudy.

Well, everyone baled on me yesterday. My friend didn't want to work in the heat so she and hubby went shopping at Costco. My pump guy was a no-show. Sigh...I need to call him again.

Sorry about the colonoscopy Wally. Ironically I had a quote ready to go that said "If 2020 was a drink, it would be a colonoscopy prep" for some reason I can't post it. I'll play a bit and see if I can get it to post.

Package is now in Billings,MT the other side of the state from me.....

100 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 66°, today's forecast is 80°/42°.

Apparently my pump guy came by Monday when I was at the dr instead of Tues as planned. My friend forgot to tell me when I got home Monday. She does have some short term memory issues related to her occluded artery, so I'm not mad at her at all. Pump guy is working up plan/quote. I feel better that it is in motion.

They got the window installed in the kitty house yesterday! It looks great!

You cannot view this attachment.

Today the window trim goes up outside and then it is all done!! The bottom panes open and are screened so it will really help air the room out! Of course not opened too much that kitties can claw the screens!

For some reason the box is still in Billings!! It has been there since 9/25 at 4:36pm. I don't understand the delay.

109 this morning. Same as your yesterday Barbara, delayed snap! Our high yesterday was 100° and it is probably going to be the same today. It is going to be around that for the rest of this week and next week and starting to cool down by the end of next week.

I met with the gastro yesterday and as I expected he really suggests that the colonoscopy is a good idea because one of the polyps he removed last year was marginal, even though it came back not cancerous it was worth going back to check it out. Because I have two MOHS surgeries scheduled in October I made an appointment in November for the colonoscopy. I guess I am going to be kept busy doing things I really don't like but need to do. It is not really that bad but just a bother.

Holy cow Barbara! I don't know what the USPS is doing but I sure hope you get it soon. It was supposed to get there last Tuesday so I don't know what is going on.

Yeah, something is not right with this delivery. There is no weather issue to hold it up, it is a puzzle. Once I get my morning stuff done, I'm going to call my PO and see if they can find the hold up. Maybe if you call yours we can parse together what is really going on...
