Also, we have a flash flood warning in effect. Which leads me to ask, WTF?

We had one here yesterday afternoon and then another for several hours before dawn (that included actual thunderstorms about 60 miles east complete with rumbles and lightening slashing through the sky) but it's cleared up now. Guess it went north.

If it's helpful, it did drop the temperature significantly.

Everyone should just sit down with a cold drink RIGHT NOW. It is summer. NOT time for running around and cleaning and all this nuttiness. It is time to sit on the porch with a paper fan.

I should have done that, Jesse. Today is a series of mild annoyances. First, got my hair trimmed, which was not annoying. I'm letting it stay a little longer, so it was mostly shaping and whatnot. But the salon uses aveda stuff, which is giving me a headache for some reason today. So I just washed it for the third time since I got up.

I've also been tailoring up the dress for the wedding which is annoying enough as it is. And there is a stupid seam I'm not sure I can do anything with unless I make a major change. So there's that. I'm not exactly terribly handy to begin with and it just got more complicated than it seemed. Stupid tits. And then I discover the black thread I bought it upholstery thread, not normal stuff. I already HAVE upholstery thread, why did I pick up the wrong one? So I'll run out tomorrow and get the right kind. Rrg.

I went to get something else from the store and they were out. At three stores.

And I need to do laundry this weekend and my table is cluttered and annoying me and I don't want to clean.

I think I'll just go read an Alvarez I haven't seen before.

And I need to make dinner at some point and don't wanna.

Oh man, I really need to do laundry, but just don't wanna. I went to the pool and now I'm all snoozy.

Also, I would never try to do my own dress fixing, so I applaud you on that. And am reminded I need to deal with the fucking people who sent me the wrong fucking bridesmaid's dress.

I know Home Depot generally has a no-return policy on A/C units - you can exchange, but not straight out return. I'm sure it's because we're not the first to come up with that idea.

Hung v. sliders - are sliders the ones that slide side-to-side instead of up and down?

Well, it WAS just a matter of extending a couple tucks. But it is more than that now.

I also need to replace a hem on a dress the cat ATE the hem out of, but I need red thread for that. And of course, I have none.

Yup.

Hey, as long as you're buying black thread, you might as well get red, too...

I really need to plug up the holes around my window a/c, but can't get motivated to do it.

I turned off my air conditioning when I left early this morning, and was surprised and pleased to find that the inside temperature was only 77F when I got back late this afternoon, with an outside temperature of 105F. Hooray for good insulation!

Then we caught a rain shower, and the temperature dropped 25 degrees in five minutes. Mmmmmmm, nice--indoors and out.

Heh. I thought this was a baseball question and I was wondering why Ple was answering it.

Windows. Got it. (not the MS kind)
