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.

Just made a quick call to my pump guy, he's coming tomorrow morning to see what we can do within my budget for this Winter. Yay!
