I've been snorfling corn chips and cashew clusters all day. With extra added watermelon. Supposed to have dinner at a friend's house. Oops. Chances are good I won't eat much.
I took Bartleby to the neighborhood 4th of July parade this morning. Even strangers commented on how good he was. The parade itself was a quaint as ever.
I left the windows open until I realized I was blowing hot air into the house with a window fan. Now, the hatches are batoned, if that's even a phrase. I put down all the storm windows and screens and turned the Levalors so the blades are pointed up. Plus, closed all the doors between rooms.
It's going to be super, super hot for the next week, so I'm trying to make the house as sealed as possible to make best use of the a/c.
Thank God for a/c, that's all I have to say.
At what temp do people generally keep their a/c? I generally do 78 in the summer.
Lisa, sorry it's so stressful.
I keep mine at 78 until the humidity is bad, then it goes down to 76. Sometimes at bedtime I have to put mac's at 75 until he falls asleep. He has fatigue induced hot flashes.
68. I hate the heat. 78 degrees inside, I'd die.
You guys, Boston Market CLOSED. The only one in 100 miles, and it's gone. I'll starve to death. Send rations.
68.
Honestly, I'd expect to enjoy 68, but anything less than 74 and I feel like I need a sweater...which seems to defeat the purpose.
75 while we're around, 78 elsewise.
We're 78, too, and run a dehumidifier. Of course, upstairs, with the AC set at 78 for downstairs, it can approach 90 on a sunny afternoon. It's usually down to 82 by bedtime, which is sleepable with the ceiling fan.

NO IT ISN'T.
Is there such a thing as a "coldhouse flower"? Because that would be me.

Arctic flower? Himalayan flower?
Good news, good news! /roscoe p. coltrane I talked to my boss and she agreed that the task is not only ridiculous but wrong-headed - we need to restructure the whole blessed thing. So now I'm just breaking the bad news via email to the committee chairs and setting a meeting to discuss next steps. That and my monthly report, and I'm out of here. Hopefully by 7 pm, and hopefully one of the cookouts is still going on.
Poor Frankie is so bored.
Just got back from an afternoon at the community center pool, and am now kicked back drinking a strawberry lime Jones soda and considering a nap before dinner out with the folks.
Yeah I think in the 80's would be hard for me to get to sleep. Unless of course I'm outside with a breeze.
I am at uncle g's recovering from the heat while he and mac play video games. Mac liked all the things I bought him and I successfully hid 3 purchases in the shopping bag.
