I haven't visited either of the community gardens in
A craptastic side effect of being too much of a coward to leave the safety of air conditioning. Even to save my tomatoes and pumpkins and beans and luffas.
I just can't go out there.
I haven't left the apartment in two days.
At least Assurance CG has automated sprinklers. Now that's community for you! Why doesn't Cook have them?! Curse, mumble, groan, unfair rambling... (It's the heat. I promise I don't mean it.)
My parrot window thermometer says it's 99 degrees right now. I think I'm being lied to, or the thermometer is in denial. Wunderground's "Most Cloudy" thumbnail mocks me with his false predictions of protection from the soul-sucking sun and his orgasmic pleasure at frying my kids like tiny pink shrimp on urban parking lots and sidewalks. "Sorry kiddo, we can't practice rollerblading today. Mr. Sun is in his happy place."
On top of a heat advisory, we have an "air quality" advisory. The air is poisonous?!?! Oh wait, that's nothing new either. If that annoyingly cheerful yellow exclamation hadn't popped up on my weather advisory every day since the summer started, I might have started paying attention to it.
Sheesh.
Break out the gas masks and arm yourselves with inhalers and ice cubes... we're going to visit a museum!

I feel your heat -- fortunately, we have a little break, but "they" are predicting another lengthy heatwave by Thursday. Hang in there!
Wow, I'm so sorry I didn't see your comment earlier! We did manage, though there were a few days of not much movement to stray from the couch, lol. Maybe a year into this climate next year, we'll handle it better:)
