60 Days in a row

I heard the other morning that we were on Day 59 of 90 degrees (28 C) or hotter in a row. It's early August and just starting to get hot here. I guess I am assuming 90 days in a row of 90+ temps is pretty definite. Easily looking at 100+ days. Not sure what is typical.

In May I had 3 weeks set aside for driving across the country and doing some hiking/camping/exploring along the way in NC and TN especially. I had to change plans at the last minute and do the drive in 5 days to get to a class that started May 12 instead of June 1. That meant I would have 3 weeks off in August to hike/camp and explore regionally.

Unfortunately one of the cats where I'm housesitting needed surgery to remove the tumor in her eyelid. The vet can't say that it is cancer yet, but wants the owner prepared for the worst. I need to be around to spread goo into the eyeball 4x/day. This cat just loves me now. Before I was force feeding it pills and washing the eyelid with liquid. Now I have to grab hold, pry open the eyelid and spread ointment in there. That's a real popular thing to do.

Anyhow I am staying local, and hanging out with the cats.

When you are Housesitter to the Stars you gotta do what you gotta do.
