Somebody Please Turn Down the Heat!

Well I slept in a little later than usual this morning, but when I did get up I could feel that it was going to be a hot one today! It seemed unusually stuffy and a little difficult breathing; it got better as I made my way downstairs.

So after eating breakfast and reading the paper I headed outside so that I could get some work done before it got too hot out. Boy was I wrong...it was already too hot for me but I had some work to do so I just set about to get it done as soon as possible so that I could go back inside.

I pulled some weeds, dead headed the roses and mowed the back lawn. I debated whether or not to mow, but it was higher than I like and I though that it would be okay since I did not think that this hot weather would last very long.

By the time I finished I was dripping wet, I had taken my shirt off as I was hot starting out and our back yard is pretty secluded. So I aired dried off as best I could, but the sweat kept pouring down my face and body until I just gave up and went inside anyway.

I went out to check the mail and it had come so I opened it and recycled most of it. I went upstairs to refill my weekly medication pill container and was surprised that I did not find Kathleen sitting at her computer. When I checked in the bedroom she was just getting up, so I went ahead and filled my medication container and went back downstairs.

Since it was early afternoon I was curious to see what the temperature was so I checked the indoor/outdoor thermometer in the kitchen and it was ninety plus degrees outside and only about seventy-five degrees inside.

Since it was lunch time I made myself a Boca burger on a whole wheat bun and had a slice of a sweet onion and a cut up mushroom and melted cheese on it; I also had some of the macaroni salad from last night.

Kathleen made her way downstairs and made herself an English Muffin with peanut butter and jam for her breakfast. After I finished eating I loaded up the dishwasher, added the soap and asked Kathleen to turn it on when she put her dishes in.

Since it was too hot to be outside I sat down in my chair and fell asleep for a while. After I woke up I updated my Facebook page and uploaded some photos. Kathleen came in and asked if chili and rice would be okay for dinner, I thought that it was too hot a meal, but if she wanted to cook it I would eat it.

Kathleen is enjoying this hot weather in fact she has worn her shorts the last couple of days, while I was trying to find something lighter weight to wear she was just comfortable. I do much better between seventy and eighty degrees whereas she is freezing at those temperatures.

The indoor/outdoor thermometer got up to ninety-eight degrees today and I am sure that out in the sun it was well over one hundred degrees...a good day to be inside.

Well it seems like I have been on my computer long enough today so I think I will take a cold shower and call it a day.
