Auntie's Beads Blog – Beading & Jewelry Making

It’s so hot , that yesterday I saw two trees fighting over a dog.  It’s so hot , the birds use pot holders to pull the worms out of the ground.  It’s so hot , hot water comes out of both taps.  O.k., I think you get the idea.  As Ron and I limped into our house after a workout, (yes, we worked out), we were greeted by a very unhappy daughter.  “It’s 85 degrees upstairs!”   Panting, Ron replied  confidently, “Oh, I just need to change the filter,  that’s all.”  After cooling off in the hot pool, the filters were made new and we waited.  After almost 2 hours, it was clear that the filter was not the culprit.  Our refrigerated air, the miracle of summer, was determined to keep the upstairs pushing 90 degrees.  The plan was that Courtney would sleep with me and Ron would take the sofa.  Fine with me, I sleep like a log.  Apparently, I snore like a log, also.  After being awkened multiple times for being too loud, I struggled for a good 5 hours of rest.  Sleeping with my daughter brought back memories of a little girl who tossed and turned and threw her limbs during the night.  Not much has changed.  So, at 4:30 a.m. I rise, deciding that work was better than being injured.     Who was the genius that gave us the gift of a.c.?  His name should be on the tip of our tongues!   Well, at 8 a.m., I will be on the phone, begging the repairman to darken my door as soon as possible.
