I thought that I should get in at least one entry for June...until I discovered that I already wrote one last week! I don't even remember writing it. Boy, this memory thing has been terrible lately. It takes me so long to get something started or to get ready to go somewhere as I keep forgetting what I am looking for, need, etc. And then there are the occasions when I set my keys down to look for something else I need before leaving (like my checkbook, for example). I find the checkbook and then I can't find my keys! Frustrating, especially when I go through this three or four times in one day.
School is going okay. I don't like doing homework anymore and I am tired of travelling 180 miles round trip twice per week to attend classes. I know, this sounds like I'm complaining, but quite frankly, I think I just need a long break without any kind of formal schooling; I'm at the end of my coursework, though, after this semester just 2 classes, final project, and internship. With any luck, I'll graduate next summer. No more summer school!
I overheated today. I was working on the west side of the house, out of the direct sun. After about fifteen minutes, I was feeling light headed, totally exhausted and a little bit nasueaous. I went into the house and stood in front of the fan--even with the central air going full blast and the fan on 'hi,' it took me a long time to cool down. I caught sight of my face in the mirror and it was beet red. I was sweating like crazy. Fortunately, I was smart enough to come into the house. I was able to finish my gardening on the west side tonight as a strong breeze was blowing and it was really very pleasant outside. I meant to order a cooling vest or neck wrap or hat...but haven't done it yet.
Later

You are fantastic. I understand the studying part completely (as well as the commute). Just take it one day at a time and keep your eye on the ball. Have faith. If you need to vent, you know where to find me. Take care.
I understand the memory thing...I do that too! I too am always forgetting things. Hang in there!
