Drinking water & lemonade today

Thanks for all the advice. I realized about 3:30 yesterday that I had not taken my Thyroid pill in 2 days--not drinking my usual amt. of cold water. Strange how water makes a big difference.
Took the thyroid at 3:3o yesterday, then took it at reg. time this morning, drinking lots of water.
I finally gave in and just lay down on the bed yesterday after I posted, drifted in and out of nap-land. Decided to do a "fly-lady" thing and spent 15 min. folding laundry, then 30 min. of quilting. Felt much better-LOL.
About 6PM as I was putting things in the recycling bin in the garage, heard the sound of running water. The AC was putting water on the floor. Ran 1 cup of bleach down the overflow drain, called DH to come home and give me AC help. The drain line was clogged, a simple fix. Will have to mark on the calendar to clean it once a month.
Took both dogs to the dog park this morning, didn't go until about 8:30AM and it was already sweltering. There were several big dogs, so we didn't stay too long. Going to the car wash nearby and then sit and sew for an hour or so.
The humidity is normal here--even in the winter it is 70% or so. A few days ago when the tropical storm was in the Atlantic ocean and sucking all the moisture there, the humidity went down to about 40% and everyone was saying how nice it was.
We consider the AC bill as part of the living expenses. $300.00 in the summer or even more is "normal"--that includes the water, electric, and irrigation also. But in the winter, it drops to $100 or so. Our total bill was over $400 in May when we watered the new sod twice a day, that was a shock! It really does look nice now, even though I didn't want it at first.
