We've had quite the hot week here, although it's cooled down nicely today. Enjoy this week's Thirteen!
Thirteen Things I Do When It's Almost
100 Degrees Outside
1. Worry about the electric bill.
2. Suck it up and turn on the AC anyway.
3. Sleep on the couch because I'm too cheap to turn on the upstairs window unit, too.
4. Stay up later to read, write and/or watch TV because it doesn't feel like bed time if I'm not in bed.
5. Drink a lot of water and get up a dozen times during the night to pee.
6. Quickly learn to water the plants in the container garden first thing in the morning so they don't shrivel up during the day.
7. Stare longingly out the window and wish for a nice cool breeze so I can stand to go outside.
8. Remember what it was like this winter when I was wishing for hot summer days.
9. Enjoy the time with my lazy kitty, who seems to prefer the empty bed in the hot upstairs to the cool joys of the couch downstairs.
10. Make easy meals that don't involve turning on the stove.
11. Watch the grass in my yard grow inches each day without any remorse for letting it go. I could die out there mowing!
12. Let my hair air dry so that I don't have to turn on the hair dryer.
13. Be thankful I have a job that keeps me inside in the air conditioning all day.

Great list! And oh, to have working A/C at work! sigh...ours has been broken for weeks now, so I'm working out of a conference room, one of the only rooms with working a/c...sigh...
Happy TT!!
I refuse to turn on the hairdryer, May-September. If it looks bad, then bad it looks.
Can you imagine that both y wife and I lived without air in Florida. Her parents did not get A/C till 1988
Happy tt
Man we've really had to live with the AC lately because of the humidity.
Happy TT!
