It’s so damn hot here!   Today, Seattle is going to see temps in the high ninties.   This wouldn’t be so bad if we were in the south.   Why you ask? Cause sane people in the south have central AC!    Here in the granola Pacific NW they are cut from stoic cloth that puts granola over personal comfort.  We don’t destroy the ozone with blah blah carbons for a few small weeks of above 90 degree temps.   No sireebob.  (sigh)  

Sooooooo…..  I am conserving energy in my own non-granola ways.

  1. I am not doing laundry today because they think it’s going to be cooler.  Don’t want to run the dryer.  
  2. I turned off the heat dry cycle on the dishwasher this morning.  I’m not doing dishes again till it’s cooler.
  3. We have friends coming over for dinner and we are going to go out for steaks cause I’m too hot to cook.
  4. I have the window unit running full blast in my bedroom.  It keeps the room around 72.  Not great, but beats the circulating 90+ degree air downstairs.
  5. And I am PRAYING that the gymnastic place where we are holding Noah’s birthday party today has central AC.  I’m pretty sure there is no cancel clause for heat.   And the idea of keeping a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds happy for 2 hours after they run around sweaty doesn’t appeal to me. 
  6. I’m thanking God that I bought another slip and slide after our first one ripped.    It was the last one on the shelf and a paltry 18 footer…but I bought it.    I thought I had bad Karma only getting this crappy one… now in hindsight, it’s looking like mighty good karma.   Amazing how perspective helps clarify things.
  7. I might just go sit in the kiddie pool.
