I finally got back to the hot side of the planet, hot and dry!! I know the California drought, fires, etc. bring misery, but the sunshine is saving my rain-soaked brain from drowning!! Summer in the SF Bay Area is from August to December. No fog, no clouds, and most importantly...no rain!!! After spending the past year under a grey cloud...literally....it is so good to feel the heat of the sun again on my skin. My gloomy mood seemed to just disappear after two days of sunning by the pool. I'm lucky to have the pool all to myself, very nice for swimming with an ostomy bag tagging along. I actually got the courage to let it all hang out...the baggie...and get my Speedos on haha. My skinny butt can handle them, not overflowing at the edges jhaha!! I think my phone is getting too hot...misbehaving...I'm going to be adventurous and post my Speedos pic with baggie included. I don't care if the neighbor sees me lying here, ostomy bag...neatly tucked in or just hanging. All the best to everyone 😊 Magoo
