11-232 (19/8/24) -- Humidity

Today involved a trip to the eye doctor for new glasses. They tested a way to fix an issue with double vision. We tried a mock up of the expected vision and it was challenging for oculist and me. I will return next week with the laptop, a book and a research article to look at the distance necessary for most work. It is confusing to estimate sitting in a chair that is different than where the real work occurs. There is hope that I can see to read well again soon. I can read, but it gives me a headache and often means I have to close one eye to see clearly.

The weather today was extremely humid. Condensation occurred on windshield even with defrost on and droplets gathered in the  refrigerator. Temperatures were warm, but not hot. It rained a couple of times during the day. There was some distant thunder in the late afternoon. The patio garden will not need watering for a couple of days. Everything is saturated. I hope this bit of rain will help the grass green up again and the new grass germinate and take hold before late Fall. The humidity came from the outer bands of the storm formerly known as hurricane Ernesto. We will have another couple of days like this before the air becomes drier.

The song chosen today uses hurricane as a metaphor for emotions. I experienced very different emotions just trying to deal with the indoor humidity. The heat pump cooled the air, but the central dehumidifier ran constantly and still the air felt so thick.  Keep safe. Enjoy!
