So my mom got here Sunday night. We went and got some Taco Cabana1 for dinner and then came home.. I showed her around the house, she played with Matthew for a bit and we went to bed. Monday we got up, had breakfast, and proceeded to unpack her 16 foot Penske truck. In 95°F heat. Both of us got really ill from the 4 1/2 hours of working really hard in the heat. We drank plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of water, but mom still got really sick that day, and then my body waited until that night to react the worst. After a short nap on the couch, I woke up with a pounding headache, sore throat and stiff body. Yesterday I wasn’t very useful, but managed to get some grocery shopping done at the commissary, then came home and relaxed. This morning, I’m feeling better, but I’m still not completely myself. My headache is better, but my throat’s still a little sore, and my body HURTS.
It’s getting really hot here. Highs right now are around 98°F, but they have been 100 and above. Over the next 10 days it’s supposed to drop to highs of 93, not like that’s much relief. My garden LOVES the heat though. I’ll have to take a picture of the cucumber that’s about ready to pick.. it’s beauuutiful. Then my tomato plants have about 20+ tomatoes on them that aren’t quite ripe yet, but I’m so excited to have some fresh organic veggies straight from my garden!
