Going up

Temperatures and my weight. Both of which I don't want. But whenever there's a heatwave, I find my hands and feet swelling up and my body retaining water to a tune of a several-pound gain that takes away all of this year's losses at once. 

So, groundhog day again. If I could catch that critter I'd ask him if at least this time, the weather guys are right about the heat being over by the weekend. 

Tonight's dinner will be caprese salad with mozzarella and fresh basil off our balcony plants. And lots of water, because the edema does not keep me from showing the symptoms of dehydration otherwise. 

I'm off to the relative coolness of our home before I start to melt....
