turpsThe heatwave broke this morning, and I'm very glad about that. It's still warm, 22c here right now, but it hit 39c yesterday and yeah, just no. I used all the tips I've gathered from here, all the curtains, blinds and windows closed etc, but the bed and bedding were still hot to touch when we went up last night, and stepping out of the house into a 39c temp and air that was hot and wet was another, nope, moment.
Ideally, we would have stayed in, but it was James' back appointment so had no choice but to go out in the high heat of the day. Thankfully, the procedure went well and we were home around 6pm, plus, excellent air con when we got to the hospital so that was a good bonus.
The bruising is starting to come out on James' back now, but fingers crossed, it seems to be starting to do the job. We went for an early morning walk again this morning and he didn't have to stop due to pain, which is great. What was amusing was they put steroids in as part of the treatment and I swear he's been plugged in since we got home yesterday.
I was trying to sleep last night, sweating in places I'm sure aren't made to sweat -- seriously, I tend to sleep on my stomach and under my chin and neck was sweating against the pillow. I keep saying it but again, nope! Meanwhile, James was chattering ten to the dozen, watched a load of tv, was up and downstairs for a snack and cold drink. Apparently dozed off at 2am and was up again at 4:30.
He was almost as bad this morning, when we had our walk and then visited Bodhi and her mams as it's Lucy's birthday spent an hour or so there. Came home, went off to try his hand at attaching the stag horn to a walking stick, came downstairs for a pyrography session, then crashed big time about ten minutes ago. So is now flat out on the couch and no doubt will be there a while.
Fandom wise I played fic chicken the other night when I was reading a 9-1-1 Were story I was really enjoying and realised that my iPad was about to run out of charge with about four chapters still to go. At that point, I could stop reading and continue the next night, or read as fast as I could and try and finish before the battery hit 0%. I'm sad to say it was Terri 0 iPad 1, as it blinked out with one and a half chapters to go, right in the middle of a big battle scene. You'd think I'd learn but I never do.
