Guess what … it’s still hot. Not just hot … it’s blistering, sweltering, the-apocalypse-is-approaching hot.
On top of that, Mother Nature decided to pay me my own special visit
these past few days and brought with her cramps and splitting
headaches. 
So, I spent most of the weekend holed up at my parents’ house hiding from the heat, eating takeout, downing Tylenol, accomplishing nothing, and totally not caring. This neverending heatwave
has me fluctuating from feeling melancholy and slightly depressed to
feeling downright psychotic. And, it is all anyone is
talking about lately. News reporters, coworkers, family members,
friends, grocery clerks, strangers standing in line … I can’t even
escape into a little denial. Case in point … Toshi is standing
here in his boxers right this very second saying, “It’s hot tonight, isn’t it?” Well, hmmm … no, 90 degrees at 11:00 p.m. feels downright pleasant to me. YES, it is HOT!!!
Other than the fact that I
am literally stuck to the couch and my skin has decided to molt, I have
nothing else of any interest to report.
And that has been your weather report for this evening … and now back to your regular programming. 
Oh, wait … things I’m thankful for today:
mosquito netting (we made a makeshift screen for the bedroom door so we
can keep it open and therefore avoid suffocation without being eaten
alive)
2. my $35 electric bill (the silver lining of having a dead air conditioner … my coworker’s bill was $500!)
3. minty fresh toothpaste (French onion soup was great at dinner, but I don’t need to still be tasting it six hours later)
Wow! I thought of three!

i couldn’t even imaging not having ac right now….when our system died this winter and left us stranded without heat I told my landlord to buy a new one..last year with the ac running all day it never got below 85 in my house..sooo..that was pointless to run and the electric bill was high..would have been higher this year due to the rate increase too if we had that inefficient system as last year..ok I know I spelled inefficient wrong..my 1st cup of coffee isn’t finished yet and it’s early. I am sorry..lol
I completely agree with the whole hot thing. We didn’t even have a summer last year and so we’re making up for it by having twice the heat this year. Have I ever mentioned that almost all the housing here has no air…yup, you and I are in the same boat. I do have fans though because when you don’t have air you automatically stock up on oscillating fans. I think it’s possible that #2 on your list of things to be grateful for may be the deciding factor in why they have no air conditioners. But then again I’ve been told that it only gets this hot about every 6 to 10 years. (How did I get so lucky to have a Winter that only comes every decade and now a Summer that is the equivalent of a beach day in hell?) ((Just lucky I guess))Did I miss the floor pictures?
you too! well i will just be glad when this is done with by saturday…when my surprise package is flying in and i am smiling so much…i want to spend every moment with that someone and fly back and not give a thought on anything else…ahhhh
LOVE is…
