The internet has been running slow.
Is anyone else noticing that?
I don't know if it's our internet... or if it's the service... or if it's the heat.
I blame the heat.
I went to the store and the girl mentioned how slow the computers were running because of the heat.
If she can blame the heat, I can blame the heat.
Tomorrow it's only supposed to be 85.
Remember this.
This winter when it's twenty below.
Remember the 100 heat index.
Remember sitting in shorts and being warm.
Remember walking outside, standing in the shade, sweating.
I'm looking forward to sitting under that blanket, remembering.

quiet in a different way
I forgot how quiet the house is when the air-conditioning isn't running constantly.
I realized at lunch time how quiet the house was. Then I realized why it was so quiet.
It is still hot outside, which is nice because it's still summer.
I would still be happy for some rain.
For now, I'll take the peace and quiet that is the absence of the constant hum of the a/c.

one hot day
It must be the heat.
That's all we can mutter.
We just had the sliding glass door replaced in the kitchen. I have pictures, but it's not finished yet, I'll post them at the end.
Yesterday they removed the door and left a 6 ft. x 8 ft. hole in the kitchen.
It was lunchtime.
They got the new door put in place after lunch. By which point the entire house had heated up nicely to 83 degrees.
I had managed to keep the hot air in the kitchen by closing the door from the living room to the kitchen and by aiming the stick fan at the kitchen from the dining room.
It actually worked.
You could feel the difference in temperature as you walked from the "open-air" kitchen into the dining room.
But once the door was in place, it didn't matter much.
I think the house has finally cooled off after a record setting 104 degree day today.
I would go and drink an nice large glass of ice water, but an ice cube got stuck which prevented any ice from being made over night, so our ice content is low.
It'll be full tomorrow.
Instead I'm just going to go sit in front of the fan.
Stay cool.
