Seattle is melting!!!
It has been hot all week. Our normal high is in the mid 70's and for the past week 70, if we are lucky, has been our low. Yesterday Seattle broke a record with a temp. of 103. For those of you who live in hot climates you maybe saying geez what is all the fuss especially since we have that kind of heat all summer. Most people who live in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, parts of California and the list goes on...have air conditioning. Only 13 percent of the population of Western Washington have air conditioning, so after days of 90+ temps you start to feel a little insane.
Keith is lucky to escape to work and since I work from home I spend all my time here. The girls and I have all sorts of fans in the living room, we've been eating Otter pops and drinking tons of water. We take frozen packs that you use in a cooler and put them over us to cool our body temp down. We basically have become lazy slugs that only move when necessary. I'll be so happy when it cools down again. I usually love the heat but this is even a little on the ridiculous side for me.
Complaining really does nobody any good. In fact I think it makes you hotter, if that is possible, and I get irritated with the weathermen on the news that keep saying, it was another scorcher and you are going to have problems sleeping tonight....like we don't know that already. In the mean time I take comfort in the fact that we are only a few months away from rain and gray gray skies...then everybody will complain that we have too much rain and not enough sunshine.
Seems like nobody is ever happy with the weather!
