Dana, I was in the same situation. Then I decided that I couldn't stand to be in the hottest room in my apartment. So I went and chopped my hair off, took a shower and am now lounging in my bedroom with my oscillating fan.

I don't know why it's cooler in here - I'm just glad it is.

Now I need to get the energy to go to the store.

You're an accomplished and creative cook, Jessica, so my menu plans would bore you to tears. All I've managed lately are sandwiches. Oh, though I did make yummy succotash last week.

Jessica, my mom always used to make pasta salad with tuna or chicken and peas with mayonnaise and some dill and salt/pepper. Not very exciting but it's my favorite hot weather meal.

I'm still stuck in front of my TV, sumi. I gave up and realized I had enough to make lunch here.

Jesse, one of my cats barfed all over my coffee table and some important papers on an end table, so I'm right there with you. It's a peculiar mix of worry and annoyance.

Show him you won't stand for that! Poop in his bed.

Great idea! Oh wait, I have to clean that up, too. Also, he usually sleeps in my bed. Stupid sick cat.

I'm seriously so tired right now that sandwiches sound like way too much work. So far I've got "takeout, takeout, leftovers, CSA pickup on Tuesday and eat raw vegetables the rest of the week."

Not sure how my kids would like that plan. Oh well, they can have cereal.

(Actually, tomorrow I don't need to plan anything because I'm going out with my sister and about 10 other people for her birthday to eat an entire suckling pig. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS DINNER YOU GUYS.)

I am so fucking tired now, I can't believe I have to shower and go to a wedding.

Jessica, that is going to be amazing! Who needs meals for the rest of the week? Cereal and raw vegetables sound like entirely appropriate menus.

I want to go to something where the food is an entire animal on a spit!
