Saturday, is supposed to be relaxing, to catch up on things around the
house, or to run errands that don't get done during the week. Well not for us.
On this morning hubby had a men's breakfast at church. This is a new thing that
the church has started up. They usually will have breakfast and then go into a
bible study, and then a more intense study.
While hubby was gone to the men's breakfast, I got ready for the DB pool
party. The DB pool party, the Deafblind group of south eastern PA. We actually
had severl events going on this day, but chose to go to the DB pool party.
Well before I go any further, I woke up on this day with swollen ear canals.
Apparently because of the silicon ear molds I have on these new hearing aids,
if I sweat, my cannels will swell. Well it was super-hot all week, so how was I
going to prevent this. So I wore my aids for most of the morning, but they
continued to bother me.
At 11:00 FIL took us to Lansdale train station to be picked up by an SSP.
We arrived at the DB pool party at around noon. Once we arrived it was so hot,
I wanted into the pool, well this meant I had to take the aids out, thank
goodness. The pool was the only place that was cool. So I signed the rest of
the day. At this pool party I met someone who I had been wanting to for a long
time. She lives in Ohio, and if it wasn't already a small world. A professor I
know, one that I had for a class for the last two semesters, grew up and was
friends with this person. They apparently keep in touch and were talking about
me.
I talked, or rather signed to a lot of people. Some I understand, some I
didn't. This did make me realize that hubby and I didn't know as many signs as
we thought. We totally pigged out on all of the food that everyone brought. And
hung out at the pool. At one point there were a lot of people in the pool.
Poor hubby, not sure what he did, as I went around and just signed and
signed away. Someone said later that it was so nice to see me interacting and
smiling as I signed to people. We went home around 6ish. Both of us got too
much sun, not too much for sunburn, but we could feel we were tender in spots.
It wasn't fun to think that we were going to be going home to a hot house, especially
after being outside and hot all day long. Later that evening, right before home
depot closed, hubby and FIL went to get a portable A/C unit. They installed it
in our bedroom, where the tube was going out the slider on the balcony. Oh it
was so nice, to finally sleep in fairly cool climate.
It wasn't really that it was super-hot, well hot for this area. But it was
humid, like you were walking through water.
Sunday July 21st
Thankfully on this day we relaxed some. We went to church, and then had
lunch with family as usual. We also used the evening to get ready for another
busy week.
