Off Topic Been missing in action for a few days!!

Hi and good morning from Southern California.. I have ben away from my pc since last week.. Well spent little time and haven't been around my groups much due to having been sick with a cold and the heat wave we have been having here.. I don't try to sit at my pc too long since the heat is so unbearable and the fact is we don't have an AC in he appartment.. We hope to get one and have a small one here in our small studio.. And, it would make things a lot beter for us.. Since nights are hard sleeping as well as during the day doing things at home.. He works in an air conditioned building as a Janitor.. And, I offten tease him about taking me along so I can sit with him.. But, he has a brother in law that does not get along with hm and is very nosy.. So, we keep our relationship a secret since he does not want his sister and brother in law to know.. Another story entirely why that is happening.. But anyway, I don't cook unless it is in the morning, and we don't eat unless it is late in the evening when it is cool.. What a drag.. :-) And, I wish I can sit down and knit, bu the thought of having needles and yarn in hand makes me all that much more hotter.. So, I listen to my novels and stay in one place as mch as I can and keep lots of water around to drink.. Plus, I have a spray bottle to spritz myself during the hotter part of the day.. I had a mean cold due to the fans being in our faces at night. And I am slowly getting over it, and he is as well.. He is still snoring and wil have to get up in about thirty minutes.. So, I just want o touch basis with you all and let you know I have been thinking of you all. Take care and for those that are suffering as well in this horrible heat and humidity, be safe and stay cool.. Portia/California
