Make Each Day Count

The weather man here said…

It’s been one of the warmest Decembers in Texas history…ranked up in the top 5 of all time…

And it has been warm…extremely warm…thick with humidity warm…muggy…sticky…walking through sludge warm…

And apparently 99 percent humidity for days makes the joints mad…swollen knuckle me googling “does humidity affect arthritis?”…and yes, yes, yes it does…even the little knuckles in the toes flared up…that was a first…

And with humidity comes the bugs…biting bugs…super human like no bug ever seen in Iowa bug…invisible…speedy…can’t see them can’t swat them but they sting bugs…

While you sleep…sit on the couch…take a shower…they…are…everywhere….yet seemingly nowhere…it’s a mystery…

Like the fact that they don’t bother that husband of mine…just like the humidity…he loves it…thrives in it…is ready to get up and go in it…

And so we have…

Filled this month with all kinds of grand and not-so-grand adventures… never a dull moment, because who would want one?…

And so it is…in life…make each day count… fill it with sunshine and rainbows… and eventually, the dew point is sure to go down…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
