July 29

I got carried away this morning in taking care of other business and have already about typed myself out.  This will be short but a thank you isn't necessary.

69 and cloudy with a chance of rain in the forecast for today and the next two.  Weather wise we get a little bit of everything here in Missouri.  Living here all my life, I am still surprised at some of what we get. 

There was a happening this month but I can't remember what it might be.  I am positive that I have said about something, "it will be a cold day in July when that happens."  You see my problem?  We've just had some cold days here in July but I just can't remember what the subject might have been.  I've looked at everything for some abnormal happenings and only came up with two.  I probably thought at one time I would never be 63, but I made it this month.  It's not near as bad as I once thought it must be.  Another thing might be the reaction to the bee sting because I never had a problem quite so severe ever before.  One good and one bad, fifty fifty.  I don't think I'll search my mind anymore, I wouldn't want to tip the scales in a depressing direction.

In 1997 there must have been a cold day in July too.  That is the year I retired and I'd bet money that I said many years before, "it'll be a cold day when I  retire at 55."

I wish I hadn't used the word money up there!  Seven years without an income means no money and that thought is a depression in the making!

I've got to get on with something else in an attempt to overcome this terrible depressing knowledge!
