la_samtyrThere was a very brief thundershower this morning but not enough to make any kind of difference. It is still *HOT*, and I am still melting. Ugh. Not fun. There are assorted storm warnings this evening too. Meh.
The worst of it is, I can't do hardly *anything* outside unless it's just before daybreak. ::eye roll::
In slightly better news, I got to see Lyn, Auntie L. and Auntie and Uncle. Lyn arrived about a minute before I did, and then we had lunch with Auntie. Or rather, they had lunch while I sat and drank water because I was so hot that even the sight of food made me feel sick. Afterward we had a quick 2 hr. visit before Lyn and Auntie L. had to go to Little Pat's place (yet another hour drive) where they are staying; they will stop again in GI to visit Auntie and Uncle (Monday am) on their way back to Omaha. I, however, won't be there because Summer had to switch days and will be here Monday afternoon instead of Wednesday morning. Oh well, I will see them in a few days at the birthday party.
As always, there was a slight downside as I had to stop at the Aurora interchange truck stop to eat something because I was feeling so hot and stressed. Arguably I could have made it home but it was so freakin' hot -- did I mention there is no a/c in the Blazer either? -- and I desperately needed to cool off. So I bought a cheap meal of fried grease and iced tea because as long as you buy a meal, places won't give you too much hassle. (Plus I told them I didn't feel good from the heat, just in case, y'know.) So after getting a refill on the iced tea and reading a couple chapters in my book, I felt ready to make it the whole 20 miles (or whatever) back home. I shared the fried grease with the furkids, and I have been parked in front of the fan ever since.
