Could've...

 

Last night could've been the 1st night I had decent sleep in a while.  The house could've actually cooled down some.  But no, a sudden BS, pissy rain had to happen.  I hadn't been asleep very long, when thunder woke me.  I needed to close the main window letting air into the house.  That kept  the rain out, but it also trapped all the muggy air inside.  Of course in the process of closing a window while half asleep I stubbed my toe on a paver the heater sits on.  It skinned the tip & took forever to stop  the bleeding.

Instead of a cool pleasant night.  It was muggy & overly warm.  My foot hurt & everything was so much wetter than it should've been.   I did not sleep well.  

To add to sucktember, out toilet is having an issue.  We'll need to call a plumber.  I don't know how to handle this problem.  2026 is sucking so hard.  There's more crap weather in the way of any serious cool down.  So no relief for a while.

Take care.

Maybe Finally...

 

The forecast is showing chances for rain & a cool down.  The next week only has 1 day over 100° & maybe a day in the upper 80s.  I hope this holds, I've not been doing well & last night was actually pretty hard on me.   I'm tired of the heat, being wet, dehydrated & just exhausted.  This weather has left me anxious, sleep deprived, allergy ridden & spending too much time in the bathroom.  I need this to end.  

This has been going for so long, that I'm not functioning well.  If this were an rpg, I'd be taking serious negatives to my rolls on just about everything. The problem with being this worn out is that it takes some serious time to recover from.  A single good day & night sleep isn't going to undo all of it.  It's no wonder people die from the heat.

That's all for now, take care.

Maybe Cooler Soonish...

 

If the forecast holds, it could start cooling down by  Thursday.  Next week, temps over 100° could be gone for the season.  We might even see some upper 80s.  I want a cool down, but not a crash.  Sudden temp changes are rough on things, mainly me.

We got a blitz rain yesterday, not quite 0.5".  It didn't cool anything significantly & added to the humidity.  We could get more rain later in the week.  

This Summer sucked.  The 1st half was dark & raining.  The last of it was hazy, overly bright & too blasted hot.   I guess that's just what the season is now.

Take care.

Labor Day....

 

The 1st Monday of September is running as late as possible.  This holiday plagued me as a kid.  It was always in the way of my birthday.  Most people would be off with their families or out for the last trip to the lake.  Not that my birthday was ever any fun.  My family barely remembered it.   It was too early in the school year to be acknowledged, even though it was always listed like everyone else's.  I stopped taking part in those things after mine always got overlooked.  

We don't have any plans for this day.  It's just a Monday when the mail won't run.  There really isn't a perk in this for us.  

For those celebrating or whatever, have a good holiday.  Take care.

It's Still Here...

 

It's still hot & humid.  It looks to be that way for at least a week.  The forecast will probably change again, making longer.  For any climate change deniers out there, find a high cliff & jump.  Take a walk into the ocean & keep going.  I guess you could just opt for petting a buffalo, tiger or bear.  Either way, just be done with yourself.

September is sucking in a different flavor this year.  Swelter isn't usually on the menu.  I've got a feeling, it might be going forward.  Thanks people.

That's it for now.  After last night, I need a shower.  I'm tired of being salty & gritty.  It's been over a month since any significant rain.  The fire ban is on it's 4th week, maybe 5th.  This sucks.  Take care.

Late & Not Much...

 

I got a late start.  It's hard to sleep in this heat.  Waking is worse than usual.  But, I finally got around to being passably living.  

There wasn't much in the way of articles.  Just the orange ass cutting more HIV funds to Africa.  He's going to be single-handedly responsible for HIV/AIDS destroying the world.  I'd say skin all the maga & make a quilt, but damn that'd be a hideous piece of fabric & wasted craftsmanship. 

That's all for now, take care.

Not For Here...

 

There were some articles this morning, but none that fit here.  Those pieces were about theoretical research far removed from being practical anytime in the near future.  Then there were the pieces they can rant about, knowing there's little to actually be done in the short run; racial/gender inequality, stigma, hate, etc...

While pieces like those have their place, it isn't here.  When theory moves into more solid research or when someone has an actual, viable plan for the other issues, they can be discussed.  For now, let them stay on the net.

Today's the end of a busy week.  We have shopping & more bank/bills things, then some errands.  Hopefully, that's everything.  This has been a rough week.

Take care.
