frickin' hot
About a week and a half ago I complained about how hot it was in the lab due to some repairs taking place on the roof of the building. They had to turn off the A/C to do some work with our hood vents. Well, now the problem has come home to roost. The A/C in the lab is back on but my A/C at home died 5 days ago. The repair folk will be there Monday between noon and 2pm but at that point I'll have been suffering in the heat for a full week. Egad!
It's been kinda hot with temps in the high 80s and low 90s this week so it's been getting to around 82 inside at night. It's pleasant in the mornings when I wake up--around 74 inside--but it's so hard to get any sleep even with the ceiling fans on medium speed. Making things worse is all the rain we had last week. It adds a lot of humidity to the air of course--but more to the point, it added a Hell of a lot of length to the grass. So, I have to mow. In the 87-92 degree heat and then come back inside to no A/C. It's like frickin' Hell here! (no LOLs on this one!)
I sure as Hell hope that they can fix this right away. This has happened to me before and last time a circuit board needed to be replaced It was a week waiting for the board to be delivered and the repair folk to have open time to come and install it. I don't want to wait a week!
What can I say? Blatent pandering to cat fanciers going on here. LOL
That's Pippin, AKA Bad Penny, over there to the side. He's named after some Tolkein character. I didn't do the naming, just the picture taking.
He's looking a little pensive which is very out of character. He's more the existential "getting into trouble" type. Not a lot of thinking or reflecting going on in there usually. Maybe he's maturing! LOL

I'm dying with the heat as well. It's not the norm to have air conditioning here however each year our summer seems to be longer and hotter. It's also been raining which means it's sticky and I have had a huge headache and I've been cranky for days...
I can't wait for the Fall to at least have a few months of feel good weather before the dreadful winter begins and my hell starts all over again..
Thank you so much for allowing me to rent with you this past week.. I really appreciate all your kind words .. It's been a great experience..
-hugs-
The cat is too cute!
Here via michele's again.
Good Luck on Monday!
And no... It's not hot in here, it's just you! ;o)
I can't wait to get warmed up a bit! My nose is freezing off here!
See you when I get back!

Also, you take the best, detailed pet pictures I think I've ever seen.
It was 98 degrees in Vegas last weekend, I had to wear a tee shirt because I was chilly when the wind blew. My god. What has happened to me?
