I am Back
OK, I am back at this blog. It was way too confusing for my addled peri-menopausal brain. Or did you even know I was gone?
Anyway, it is about a bajillion degrees Celsius here. But nobody else can feel it but me. My husband and kids are liars and tell me that it is not that hot and it is just me. They also move shit around the house and when I go looking for it they say that I need to calm down because they have no idea what I am talking about. Sometimes they are not even home and things get moved. Likely it is the Ungrateful Bastard.
This is what I did today because it is so fucking hot. I bought two of these and put them in my bedroom window. It looks so classy! Very "south end." (That is an insult where I come from.) But I am hoping that it will keep me from dying from heat exhaustion. Seriously, because I work nights and sleep during the day it is hard to sleep. One must resort to extremes. I will let you know if it works. My mom, who was also always hot would have given my a high-five for my ingenuity but would have asked me what the neighbours thought. Anyway, that is what I did today. And I had fried chicken.
Glad you're back darlin. Did you ever go to the doctor? If not then no big deal.
ReplyDeleteDavid is always hot. I'm always cold because he has the AC cranked up to 65. Good thing about him being a heater is that he keeps me warm at night during the winter.
Welcome back! Hope you sleep better. A/C is your friend!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! It's hot here right now and you have my deepest sympathy.
ReplyDeleteI'm curled up in front of the fire - freezing - shall I send some of it your way xxx
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. It is undoubtedly the ungrateful B moving things. Some cats are like that.
ReplyDeleteDude, I feel your pain! No one else thinks its hot here but today I was boiling.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back!!
In my opinion, fried chicken fixes just about anything. I can relate to the heat discombobulating you... never could deal with the stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy AC was making a funny noise last night.
ReplyDeleteI almost wept at the idea that it was broken.
I've heard from some of my female friends that feeling over hot is all part of the menopause. How about a nice damp flannel on your face? Sorry that sounds like an insult! :D
ReplyDeleteYou do what you have to do to stay cool! Forget the neighbours...
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. You have been missed.
ReplyDeleteI regularly find my face beet red from the heat with sweaty arms while the rest of the family is nice and cool. Damn hormones.
The hell with what the neighbors think - do what you have to do! But then, all my neighbors hate me anyway.
ReplyDeleteI would love some fried chicken. Sounds like a good dinner plan.
Welcome back! Do you not have air-conditioning? It's been really hot here also but I have the temperature on our unit set for mid 70s so inside it's decent. I could maybe manage during the day without it but for sleeping our bedroom must be cool. Especially with the early morning sweats I've been having. bleh!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby recently got what I think is called a trainer. It's a stand for his bicycle. He wanted to be able to ride inside on hot or rainy days so that's a good idea, right? Yeah, except for him setting the bike/stand up on our porch which has 12 full windows and no curtains. He didn't want the neighbors to see him out there exercising so he took an old faded cover that I had and put it up for privacy. It only covers 2 windows AND it's yellow and red with some sort of indian elephant/peacock mandala design on it. I got it from a hippie shop many years ago to use as a little decorative cover for the end of our bed. Now, ALL my neighbors can see it. lol
What is that thing?
ReplyDeleteNo AC in the UK, when it’s hot we die, when it’s cold, we shiver.
It’s hot and I’m (almost) dead.
Welcome back...
ReplyDeleteNow...
Write some funny posts!!!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Glad that you are back and I did noticed that you were gone. Ahh, the nasty hotness, when everything feels like hell.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to never really experience it since I got the to gain lots of pounds and heart palpitations!
Foil on the windows works great!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working nights, I foiled up all my windows and then I hung some really heavy fake crushed velvet drapes. Man was it dark in there... and cooler. Noticeably cooler.
I need to buy one of those for my bedroom window! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteIf it has been as hot there as it has been in Toronto, then I feel your pain. It's not you, believe me, its this stinking weather!!
And I am glad you are back!
So glad you are back, and so sorry you are hot. You know what I like to do when it's hot? Take a package of frozen peas and put it behind my neck. For as long as I can stand it. To be repeated as needed, but never for longer than 20 minutes at a stretch. Air conditioning? What's that?
ReplyDeleteDang it I don't think my last comment posted but bottom line; glad you changed your mind; I feel you on the being hot thing, I have hot flashes that you would not even believe, and I am making fried chicken for the second time in my life so we'll see how it turns out :)
ReplyDeletePeri... what? I'm running.
ReplyDeleteOkay, finally figured this out!
ReplyDeletei agree with the comment a/c is your friend! It's got to be hard working nights and sleeping during the day so you need everything you can to make your bedroom comfortable!
ReplyDeleteAnd you had fried chicken. You are funny.
