My hot story is trying to garden at 8am, and running out of steam at 10-ish. Actually it wasn't the hot so much as the weeks of neglect, so all the creepers conspired and assaulted me I'm covered with little red lines like I've been whipped by the world's smallest dominatrix.

Here I am! On the board, at home!

Because I ordered a new computer and it got to me at least a week before it was expected.

I would have been online last night except that once I got all set up, I realized that I'd completely forgotten the dial-up number and it was too late to try university information.

The firewall is still downloading but I needed to see everyone.

David your Friday night viewing plan sounds like it was excellent. I am still home on Fridays and got to watch most of a Nightstalker marathon (it was the original one). There was a Satanically possessed politician, one with werewolves, a vampire one, a UFO, Zombies and Jack the Ripper. Fun. I love how the orginial Nightstalker has people with faces full of character rather than just pretty people. All in preparation for the premiere on Scifi of the remake. I also watched the pilot of Dead Like Me which had the effect of making me miss Wonderfalls. Also, who knew it was Steve Bacic night on Cable? He was on Whistler AND on Psyche. He appears to be recurring on Whistler.

Also, Paula Deen has the Carters on her show again.

Oh, Brenda, that is scary. Cool-ma to you and your girl. Does she sleep behind the toilet when it gets hot? Mac always does that.

I thought the worst of the heat was over but it looks like we're going to remain in the 90's with high humidity this week. Payday comes Wednesday and Mac is lined up for a trip to the groomers. Looks be damned, she's getting shaved. Although I'm not 100% certain of her breeding, she's definitely got some sort of cold-weather dog, since she prefers the snow and has a very thick undercoat. I don't dare let her stay out too long in the heat (even though we're not really active).

Yeah, that's Lucy all right. She's in the bathroom sleeping on the tile now. The good thing with her is that she really won't push it in the heat - once it hits 70, she walks down the street like she's a hundred, and nothing short of a bunny rabbit will speed her up. But this elevator thing threw a wrench into the works.

We're supposed to be pretty darn hot until the end of the week.

Stoopid elevator. There's no time-travelling English Duke staying in your building, is there?

I'm contemplating a nap since my head hurts this morning. Headaches are starting to re-occur but I don't know if it's sinus, stress or that fact that Owen's current favorite game is SLAM THE DOORS REALLY LOUDLY.

Aww, brenda, poor Lucy! Hope she's feeling better.

It was hot for a while here, but the last couple of days have been downright temperate. Enjoy it while I can, I guess.
