It’s hot, I hurt, too much to do, and a bad mood on top of it all! ---

OK. Here’s a plan. 1. deep cleansing breath 2. sit and chill a bit 3. make a to-do list 4. pick one item to complete 5. deep cleansing breath 6. sit and chill a bit 7. back to #4 Or you could pour yourself a drink, put your feet up, and watch some trashy TV. Go with what works for you! 😃 **{{{VOW}}}** ---

And to top ut off, I screwed up the post. If anyone needs directions on how to break the new board, see me! The blast furnaces of Hell have opened up here in the Southwest. We leave tomorrow for SCal, and I know I won’t get as much done as I need to. But hey, great excuse! All aboard the bitchalot train! Plenty of room, all the seats are uncomfortable. And the company is lousy. ~VOW ---

I’ve got some edibles I’ve tucked away for “mergencies.” ~VOW ---

I recommend using some of those edibles and an ice pack on the neck. Hope that helps your mood. It would mine! ---

Poor **~VOW** , just eat that stuff and chill. The stuff you don’t get done will wait. Know this: We all love you here on the board ❤ ---

I love you, **Bekkers**. My 💗 sister! This board is my lifeline! I just had a half of an edible. Peach, no less! I’ll report how well it works. (New brand, never tried it before) ~VOW ---

**~VOW** , go read “That’s one expensive fart” thread. I hurt myself laughing at it yesterday. Hold on to your neck while you read. ---

We’re back in SCal, safe and sound. The Daughter’s anxiety level dropped some as soon as wecpulled into her driveway. We’re fine. We wore our masks every time we got out of the car, and we used hand sanitizer as soon as we got back in to the car. The Daughter’s house has superior air conditioning, and her indigenous bugs aren’t as big. I have a confession: I do feel safer here in SCal as long as the ugly COVID monster is still terrorizing the world. We are closer to hospitals and EMS services at her house. Of course in our “middle of nowhere” place in NE AZ, we can spot a COVID germ twenty miles away, and Mr VOW is an expert shot. He even has the medal that says he is! As a reward for following the salt-free, heart healthy diet, we stopped in Kingman and feasted on In-n-Out burgers and fries. With grilled onions. 🍔 ~VOW ---

Oh, and the edibles helped in every way! 😉 ~VOW ---

Glad you made it and glad those edibles helped. Stay safe out there. The virus numbers are really surging. ---

Sorry stuff is hurting, glad to hear you’ve made it to kinfolk in SoCal. You say you live in NE AZ? If you were home I’d try to narrow it down by asking what time it was. 🤠 Seriously, if you live on the rez, you really **are** in the back of beyond. I’m impressed (and envious). ---

Not on the rez. We own property near the Petrified Forest. The time? It’s always “Arizona Time.” ~VOW ---

Hey, I “drove by” the petrified forest once, in a relative sort of way😁 That is some empty country down thataway. ---

I also really HATE the hot weather. It felt like 98.6 degrees F/ 37 degrees C here yesterday. I might see if I can get an air conditioner, just so I can actually be functional and not sit around all day feeling sick. ---
