'Jaynestown'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
No A/C here. The front window is shaded and I have ceiling fans. I'm coping by not doing the cleaning I had intended to do and generally being lazy, nursing my cold. The big difference is that the cats can't be as cuddly as they're used to. Yesterday Gilda kept getting on me and then just standing there because it was too hot to lay down. Today isn't quite as hot. Current heat index is 97. Yesterday was 103.
msbelle, have there been fireworks? That could make the pups nervous.
We have a wall unit AC and a couple window units, which seem to be working for now.
A/C and laundry are in. Actually, laundry should come out. Next to the farm store for berries etc.
Don't tell anyone, but I think the answer for when to shower today might be never.
TCG took ltc to the park. I doubt they'll last too long in this heat. So, I'm going to head to bed with a book while I still can.
I know I'll pay for this later but the furnace (thermostat set at 65F) was running in my house when I woke up yesterday, and the high made it all the way to 69F. Today's high is supposed to be 65F. The forecast says the fourth will get all the way up to 77 before dropping back down to low 70s and mid to high 60s.
Not forgetting that my house gets full morning sun on front facade and windows, has no shade or insulation to speak of, and in 85 degree heat is a hotbox that doesn't cool off before dawn.
I sympathize with the heat sufferers, and I'm very grateful it's passed us by so far.
Seems cooler here today than yesterday, but I'm going into the city for a spa day with friends. Can't figure out what kind of jacket to bring for later.
I have hiked, done pushups and crunches, vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen, and folded laundry. That's enough for the day, right?
Thank you for your protest story, Andi. I'm not being a good activist, other than giving money. Really should have gone to the protest yesterday, but instead I did laundry and made tapioca pudding and watched Steven Universe.
I have done a barely adequate job of painting my toes, now on to baking.
The heat index here is 105. Fortunately I got to spend 4 hours of today in an air-conditioned car dropping the kids off at camp (where there is no AC, but it's up in the mountains and there's a lake to jump in), and now am back in my extremely quiet air-conditioned house. TOO quiet.
Trying to decide if I want to grill tonight or just eat ice cream for dinner, because there is no way in hell I am turning on the oven.
103 degrees F here. This is ridiculous, I want to speak to a manager.
Relatively cool here today, at least so far.
The Solano County Fair is kind of small and sad compared to Sonoma
