Oh sweet freaking mother of jesus this god damn heat wave has to got to pass.....
bah... sooooooo spoiled for 6 years with AC I just forgot what this is like. I guess it is good to be uncomfortable and suffer once in awhile. It humbles you and reminds you of how good you have it when you rectify the situation.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME I AM JUST SICK OF THIS.....
Gah.
AC. Please.
I guess I could get a window unit or a portable unit but .... I hate window units they just look so freaking trashy and lame and such a pain to install. The portable ... well for one they are $$$ and two I hear they do not work that well.
Lastly and mostly if I am going to spend any money I do not have I should spend it on something that helps AND I absolutely must have regardless. BLINDS! Sheesh... something to stop the Sun from coming in. Well I do not have the $$$ but today I am headed to the ol' Home Depot to check out the blinds I have been thinking about. I am thinking that I will buy two very small ones for the bathrooms then bring them home and install them. If the task is not too diffiuclt then I will order ones for the other windows online and install them myself over the next couple weeks.
Finally the 3rd house on our little backlot has sold. So all three of us are in. Myself, a 62 year old retired gentleman from Oakland CA and a 45 year old waitress who works at the Buffalo Gap. Nice people and I think the 3 of us are going to get along just dandy.

Well, from what I know of the rather eccentric Monsieur Henri Rousseau (the artist that did the painting in my journal), he was a product of the Industrial Revolution -- though he seemed pretty fixated on the "exotic orient" and Africa. Whatever his intention, the painting is just plain WEIRD...in a lovable sort of way.
You're right, though...smokestacks just DO NOT jibe with our modern sensibilities. (Unless you live in New Jersey, of course.)
Yeah, GOTTA have blinds! What will the neighbors think!?!
