Again I’ve been neglectful here. Why? This time it is because my normally temperate room has somehow shifted in the time/space continuum and become the vortex to Hell. It is some 90 degrees in here. All the time. I don’t understand it. All the time I’ve lived here the bedroom can get moderately warm, but now it’s practically in flames.
Heat makes me grumpy. Really grumpy. The other day, if I’d had a sledgehammer, I’d done serious damage to the car parked next to me that didn’t leave me enough space to get in. Why is that, you ask? Because there are some people in this world who don’t know if they have a compact car or not. These people were especially stupid because they had a Denali. By any stretch of the imagination is that a compact car? I think not.
Then there was the lady in Nordstrom who looked directly at my friend and I while we were standing at the counter and then decided to turn and help another customer who wasn’t even ready to check out. I’d never seen anything like it. I was like, “no she didn’t!” and was seriously ready to go full metal ghetto.
It’s the heat. It makes me very short tempered. Was it Woody Allen who said that serial crimes always happened in August in New York because the shrinks went on vacation and the weather was at the hottest? I can believe it. This is why I do not own firearms.
So that is why I’ve not been very active here (this time). I’ve thought about posting and lying on the sofa in the cool breeze always wins out.
Hi Abbie
If you saw a heatwave would you wave back? :p Sending you some cool Northern breezes. I hope you and your buddy walked out of Nordstrom and didn’t give them any of your money. You need to find a swimming pool or sprinkler to splash away the grumpy thoughts in. It is summer! Smile and breathe, go visit a garden. You are worth the time. Nurture your soul. Get some aromatherapy oils, lavender your pillows. Buy some fresh flowers for the table. Enjoy everything around you. Don’t forget to wear your sunscreen
