prosodicIt's going to be a scorcher here today, folks. So very rare for the Pac NW, but also kind of uncomfortable, considering most of us don't have air conditioning.
Ah well. I'm used to it. We haven't had air conditioning in 6 years, and it got this hot in Germany sometimes too.
I've got the fan going. The windows are still open for now because it's still cool enough to make that ok. Once it's hotter, I'll close them, since the new windows are supposed to block the heat from coming in. It feels quite cool in here right now.
Reece and I ventured down to the park today for a game of fetch. It didn't last long. She got overheated pretty quickly because of the full-on sun. It feels pretty hot out already if you're in direct sunlight...much cooler in the shade.
I need to venture out to the grocery store today. I need to be able to feed myself over the next few days. I'm not cooking up a whole package of ground beef or sausage or chicken that we have in the freezer just to feed myself. I want to get a couple of potatoes to make myself some baked potatoes (in the microwave, of course...too hot to use the oven). I want cold salads. I crave produce! I may even make some of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wendywoowho's tangy cucumbers. And I need yogurt. And cereal.
I'm going to experiment again with leaving Reece out of the crate while I'm gone. It's been a couple months since we tried it, and we stopped because she went crazy and tore up a bunch of paper. If I can look around and remove any and all temptation from her reach, she should be fine. She's passed out on the floor right now anyway, thoroughly wiped out.
Anyway, I better get a move on. I need stuff for lunch too.
Oh...and I got more good news today, from friend of mine. June appears to be a lucky month for people close to me. I hope that luck rubs off on me. Got a few things to take care of today to try and make that happen.
