My Body and Mind Declared Fragile. What now?

@suesea oh my gosh! That sounds annoying. I go bonkers in the hospital because there are so many people in and out of the room.
A hotel drives me crazy too. The people who let their door slam…the noise jars my nerves. Then the housekeeping staff…ugh!
I’m very sensitive to noise. Of course, I’m a people pleaser so I grin and bear it.
Today was great, I went to church, and spent time working on a watercolor I started yesterday.
The weather has gotten hot already so we desert dwellers stay in all summer. It was 106° today. The forecast for next Sunday is, 110°. That’s normal. By the end of the month it will be higher. June of 1990 we had a day it got up to 122°. I’m near Phoenix, Arizona.
I had 3 rabbits playing in the yard this afternoon. They were just having a great old time. Yesterday there were 3 Love Birds pecking at the grass. They are so beautiful. I really enjoy watching all the critters. Unfortunately the coyotes like them too 🙁
I don’t recall if I mention this, but my sleep disorder is getting better because I started playing “green” noise quietly while I sleep. It is helping me wake up more refreshed.
I can only type with a stylus now because arthritis prevents me from bending all my knuckles. So, I get worn out even though I have more to say.
Susan, you are a generous person. Thank you for sharing your situation with us.

I should have also said thank you for writing me despite your arthritis. I enjoy your emails. ☺️

Good morning! I love to paint as well! I'm not very good with watercolor, though. It tends to get muddy. I use acrylic, or I used too use it, a lot.
I love hearing about the animals and that you're getting better rest. I don't care what I do, or when I lay down, I wake up early. I often wake up too hot or too cold. My neurologist said that may be my dementia causing dysregulation of my body temperature. I hate it. I also sometimes wake up shaking. Treasure every good night.
Yesterday, I got up early and took my wheelchair outside. I love hearing the birds, and I watched what appeared to be a family of squirrels chasing each other around into the trees and bushes playing and talking. It was so cute and funny.
I'm in Ohio, but I lived in Arizona for a little while. I grew up in the South, Virginia, and people would say the dry heat out in the West wasn't as bad as the hot, sticky, humidity of the South. Lies! 😄 We had no AC when I was in Arizona, and I felt like I was baking in an oven. 🥵 I'm not much for hot weather. The best place I ever lived was Alaska. It truly is beautiful there.
Have a wonderful day!
Susan 🩷
