We hit 94 today and Baron got his bath outside. He was reluctant at first...he always is but stood still because the cool hose water felt good to him, I'm sure. He even allowed the Beast to wash his head and face. That is a rare thing but shows you just how hot it was. The funny thing is that he didn't charge around the house like he normally does after a bath, either. He normally would run all over and then roll on the carpets then run up to us to be petted. Either he's getting older and less puppy-ish (he IS 7 years old now) or it really, really felt good to him.
The Beast and I both are having back problems. I know mine is partly caused by the accident I was in years ago (I was at a full stop and a guy rear ended me doing 65 mph) and partly by how uncomfortable it is to keep my darn leg up over my heart. I just saw a yoga video that showed an exercise that might do me just as well. I think I am going to try it tomorrow.
I really have no idea why the Beast is having his problems except for his age and how he abused his body when he was younger just to prove himself ...to himself, I think. Perhaps it's a leftover from the strokes. He took a hot bath and then I rubbed some ointment over the area.
We just made some spaghetti with alfredo sauce for our dinner...it was fast and easy. Also some garlic bread. Tomorrow I am going to make us a nice salad since I really am salad hungry. I would have loved some today but, oh well!
I watched Avatar on TV today. It was on FX and the director showed a lot of how it was made. The actors all were heavily involved in it and did many of the stunts you see in the movie. They were all wired up to show expression on the faces of the Avatars as well as the body movements. It really was amazing to see that (it was shown during the commercial breaks). It's one of the things that is so cool about FX. They give you insights into the movies they show. There are three more Avatar movies planned...how's that for something to look forward to?
I had a good day today with my leg. The swelling is starting to lessen but that is what is supposed to happen, thankfully. Also, I've had no pain so far today. I'm grateful for that because I really hate to take my pain pills. They put me to sleep whenever I take them. I guess because I so seldom use them and am not used to them. They are strong or so people tell me. I know they sure act like they are when I take them. LOL!
It's cooling down a bit according to my Weatherbug. It's just 77 outside but only expected to go down to 70. Not that I care because the Beast left the AC on in the guest room and living room so my fan pulls it into my computer room. He also has the AC on in our bedroom so it's more than comfortable in there. I'm glad there's a comforter on the bed. I don't mind the air being cool but not my body....LOL! Even the Beast ends up under it after he's fallen asleep. He pulls it over himself without even waking up.
Love you all. Have a happy weekend. Summer is rapidly approaching it's end and fall will be upon us shortly. Our peach trees have already started dropping their leaves. *Sigh* ***Hugs***
