Live blogging of the BEST kind.

It's raining.
It's pouring.
There's a swooning sound of waves of water.
There's thunder.
And - FINALLY - a cooling breeze coming in through my window.

I hope it goes on for hours.

And - FINALLY - a cooling breeze coming in through my window.

Unrelenting heat mitigated by a couple of bright incidents.

The thunderstorm was obviously one such thing, though it certainly did not last long enough to do sufficient good indoors. So I've been alternating between sweating and regaining my equilibrium (as in NOT sweating). It's driven me crazier than usual. Arrgghh.

The other bright light was being surprised by a phone call from G this morning and nattering on for about 35 minutes. I'd thought of sending him an e-mail about the whole WTF-ery of last month, but it was better to tell him at least over the phone. He commisserated and told me to be wary. Ha! I may be old, but I'm not an OLD fool and refuse to fall for any reinvented tricks. Anyway, it was a delight to speak to someone whom I've known for nearly 4 decades and to reassure myself that we'll get together when the weather is more co-operative. September, could you please hurry it up.

Because of the weather, my eating was sporadic. Cereal and milk for brekkie and dinner with odd things for lunch. Otherwise, just cold water. I spent the afternoon managing to capture enough daylight to read a bit and then dozed. At least I had my evening cereal sitting out on the balcony. And then it was back to the steambath of my bedroom. Did I mention Arrgghh??? Yup, I definitely did.

There are so many chores I need to do (laundry, sorting through the carton of cleaning supplies, emptying the last couple of boxes in the bedroom) but there's NO way I'm going to even start in this loathesome heat. Once again with feeling ... ARRGGHH!!!!!
