Well,l I hemmed and hawed, and even called in late, before deciding to stay home altogether. Considering I can barely breathe, I just don't think it would be a good idea to sit in that heat today.  My Ashma med didn't do much to help yesterday, so I don't have much faith it would today. My co-worker's mother has severe Ashma, and she ended up in the hospital yesterday. I'm not sure why it's so much worse right now since it's been hotter. Maybe the humidity?  Next week is supposed to be a bit cooler, but I really can't wait till fall.

Cue the neighbor across from me screaming bloody murder, yelling 'help me!' I legit thought she was ill or being attacked and literally had my phone in my hand dialing 911 when I heard her saying things like, "I have to go to work," and "fine, I don't care if you tear the place apart!" And slammed the door as she left -- then I realized she was yelling at the cat that hangs around here (which she happens to be feeding). Sounds like it's happened before, with unpleasant results. I have to be careful myself or he will run into my apartment when I open the door. Luckily, I always have my cane and can use it to shoo him away.

I've just been listening to this interview with Bruce Boxleitner, and he talked about something I found interesting. I've had many discussions here about the negative impact of the internet; how people don't talk to each other anymore, etc. And Bruce was speaking about how different doing TV is now from the days of Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and one of the things he said is how actors used to hang out together and talk, joke, etc. between takes, and it became like a family - now they're all on their phones and no one interacts.
