Currently...

...sitting at a desk in our hotel room in the dark. Trying to be quiet and not wake the husband as it is only 5:30 am.

...reflecting on the long 20-hour day yesterday:

the most glorious sunrise from the airplane 30,000 feet in the air. (or whatever it was in the air)

Started off at 11:30 pm, had to leave the house at 1 am, Drive to Orlando, go through TSA etc. Board the plane, got to Rochester and met up with my husband's other brother who flew in from Atlanta, got the rental car, drove down to Hornell, found a hotel 16 miles away in Bath...visited other family etc. Finally got back to our hotel at 8pm. Had a nice sleep. Another busy day closing accounts, paying the funeral director etc.

Rochester Airport. So different than Orlando International which is a culture shock of wonders.

...the weather here in upstate NY. Sigh...not escaping the heat and humidity that is for sure. It is currently 67*, cloudy, humidity 81%, dewpoint 61*. Under a threat for severe weather today.

...Thinking I have to stand up for myself and say NO to all this activity going on here. Yes, time on Earth is precious, I get it...but I cannot do another day like yesterday. I am.not.the.energizer.bunny. Nor do I have the desire to be so.

...I am thinking being back here is like being in some foreign country. I personally must have been cuckoo for cocoa puffs to live here for 8-9 years. And if I hear one more time, "Yous ain't from around here, are yous?" I am going to scream bloody murder. Because...

I am from the south, we have manners, don't outright swear, don't walk around with tats everywhere on the body, not rude etc. Just saying. Seeing things in a different light now. What two different worlds we live in.

...thinking I probably ought to get a life, LOLOL. you know, for being so mean about the lifestyle up here. I can't believe we survived up here...just thinking how good we have it now. Alot of these places up here still have covid procedures set in place and are afraid to change etc.

...thinking I probably ought to get around and shower etc. Its nearly 6 am now...have a full day of having to close bank accounts, move this or that around, settle accounts (running around settling debts of my husband's late brother/estate). Dealing with this or that. The funeral is tomorrow.

Buttttttttttttt do I gotta? Just saying. LOL

Tuesday Meme...

 Good morning from a balmy central Florida where we are in the dog days of never ever ending, lol.

Welcome to  Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we ask just 4 questions each week to get you blogging and thinking and meeting other bloggers!

Rainy Days and Mondays was a song about being down but, not everyone is down on a Monday or a rainy day.

1. Do Mondays get you down or did they ever? How about a rainy day? What makes it better?

Mondays mean a new work week...and stressful situations. So, no, I don't like Mondays and more often than not, its grueling. What makes it better? 4 pm, quitting time, LOL. Soon, I will be back on 8-5 and back in my office-at least one can hope.

2. How do you like to spend rainy days?

I would like to say on the couch reading a book or watching a good movie or tv show.

3.Do you like to take a walk in the rain?

Yes, its soothing.

4.What is your weather like this summer so far? What would make it better or worse?  What is your ideal summer weather?

Florida is the capital of the never-ending summer. Unfortunately, Florida remains extremely humid until late November. But I do like the winter season where it is 70-80* and very little humidness. What would make it better? Not having so much humidness sitting on us like pea soup; thick and heavy. Since we are in the throngs of summer, its hurricane season and presently watching 3 storms out in the tropics. Every afternoon we get heavy rain and sometimes thunderstorms. Funny, one side of the road would be clear and the other pouring rain.
