hot

It's hot. I know. whine, whine, whine. But there you have it. Our house never properly cooled down last night, and it was above 70 this morning when I got up. By noon it was almost 80 inside and I wasn't being very productive. So I packed up my work and database study stuff and biked over to the library. It wasn't a chilly air conditioned environment, but it was cooler than home. I spent a couple hours doing paid work and then did some database design study. After that I biked to QFC (nicely air conditioned) and to the produce market to do my grocery shopping. As soon as I got home, I started dinner

Dinner tonight was Pad Sieu (Thai shrimp, broccoli, and rice noodles and way yummy!). It was briefly hot while I cooked, but stir fry is generally fast, and Jeffrey and I were quickly eating dinner out on our front veranda (ie, the cement pad out by the shady, east facing, breeze catching front door).

It's still pretty warm, 81 inside, but it's cooling down and the fans are blowing cool air inside. I'm starting to be able to think again. I'm thinking I havce some sewing that wants doing.

I'm also thinking of going to the library much sooner tomorrow...

(by the by, we had a great time at the volunteer picnic. The breeze off the water was very nice and I spent almost the whole time in the shade... The food was good and the company even better. It was good to see people again!)

To bad you live so far away, I have a baby AC in my living room window, and it has helped, I use 5 fans to cool off the house at night bringing in the sea air, and the like, then in the morning befor husband got to work he turns around the fan in the bedroom, and takes fans out of other places, Makes sure all the light are off and there you go, It says cool most of the day, at noon I was at 75 in my house, at 4 I was up to about 78. Hotest it got was 80, but that was WAY cooler then out side. A friend of zorgaulf and mine puts cold wet (ringed out Rather well) towles in the freezer. and pulls them out when she needs them and draps over the head, you look silly, but it feels Wounderful. Also, maybe try taking a cooler shower just to rince off.

Now that I went on this wild tangent. Sorry. It was nice seeing you and yours on sunday. *hugs* and thank you for helping with that other project.
