Too Hot to Handle

May 02, 2024 20:24


Bought some TSA-approved toiletries bottles; I think that mine are in Michigan. I don’t need TSA bottles for my train trip, but I’ll have them for Italy.

Got my recycling out and groceries in. It’s already getting hot.

I've decided that I want to paint the hall between my bedroom and the "music room" a dark gray. Don't know when yet.

Damn. There is a poetry-writing workshop on Sunday at the uni that I'd really like to go to. But I'm swamped out of my mind this weekend. I have mowing and gardening, working on my final exam (takehome), and working on my final project.

Okay, it's seriously hot up here. I might need to add "buying an air conditioner" to my weekend list. I don't want to go tonight because I think that there will be more people to consult with on Saturday at Lowe's. I also need to go to the post office this weekend because they want me to submit yet another Change of Address form. (Sigh.) Mimi is lying on the treadmill, which might be cooler than the carpet. I told her to go downstairs, which is 10 degrees cooler than up here. But no, this is her place.

It's too hot to mow tonight, and they're also predicting rain. I think that my plan should be to get up early on Saturday and mow in the morning while it's still cool, and then go run errands in the afternoon in the air conditioning when it's hot. Also, I could bring my laptop downstairs to work on my homework. The house is strange. The downstairs stays cool even though the high was predicted at 87 degrees today. The thermostat reads 73.

Oh right, I'm taking Mimi to the vet tomorrow. I better not forget. Hey, I can set up Zara's dental appointment while I'm there. One less phone call.

Tried to nap but couldn’t sleep. I enjoyed snuggling with Zara.

Went outside and planted the other spirea. Did some weeding and planted an iris. I think that I planted some of them too far back and will have to move them.

I messed with my thermostat and got the a/c on. It should help.

I’m now thinking that I should go to bed early and get up early to work while it’s cool.

chores, zara, weather, travel, house, garden, mimi
