The bane of my existence


I know that this ball of fire keeps us from freezing into little clumps of withered carbon, but when it hits 100° Fahrenheit, I am not a happy person. I'm all schvitzed out. I put in nearly 20 hours of overtime this weekend just for the air-conditioning. Hooray for air-conditioning!

Thankfully, the heat wave will be a brief one.

  • Luckily, we live in somewhat a shady location. I don't even know if we have AC here.

  • Thank goodness it is to be brief. It is a mere 130 degrees in my shack. Can't sleep nights even though I packed myself in ice like a cold storage salmon. Now I've also got a cold. It's all such great fun. The head cold goes so well with the heat and my smashed finger and my swollen left achilles tendon and the filling that fell out two days ago. I'm sure things could be worse, however.

  • Hey,
    Yesterday I took your suggestion and hung our clothes out to dry. Great idea, and we will be doing that throughout the remainder of the summer. Just think... you saved me about $10 and that much less fossil fuels to burn to create the energy. Godspeed!
