Some of you may remember that when the weekend started, we were preparing for the arrival of a tropical storm. We woke up to the sound of a heavy downpour yesterday morning, and since the worst of it wasn't supposed to be until the evening, we were a little worried about how safe it would be to go to church. But an hour later, the rain had ( Read more... )

You guys, it is super hot today. It got to be like 100 degrees, and the "like" is not to indicate I'm exaggerating so much as that I don't know the exact number. But my phone tells me that at about 2:47 it was 100 degrees outside. It might have gotten a little bit higher before the temperature started going down again, but my phone doesn't ( Read more... )

Whew, it was like a million degrees outside today. And of course, by a million, I mean ninety-five. I know that's nothing for people in places like Fresno and Arizona, but for us it's pretty hot. We don't have central air-conditioning, either, it's rough. I think that's probably why I've been so prone to exhaustion and headaches--just like in ( Read more... )

Oh man, the heat is so intense! There was one sight predicting a high of 108 today! We think, fortunately, that it did not get that high. We had to go out in it, too, so we could check the mail for the books we've been waiting for. And of course when we got to the mailbox, the mailman was there delivering mail, so we came back to our apartment ( Read more... )

We're melting, melllltiiing... What a world, what a world...

What I'm saying is, it's hot today. We had a high of 106. Actually, our apartment is pretty good about staying relatively cool and we have a high heat tolerance, so it wasn't so bad (because we were smart enough to close the windows before the hot outside air could come in). Even ( Read more... )

Today we woke up to a severe thunderstorm. It was pretty intense, like the thunder wouldn't stop. Page took it pretty well, though. Probably better than I did. By the time we were ready to turn the computer on, everything had subsided and it was pretty quiet outside, but Windows 10 has a handy little weather thing pop up with the Start menu, ( Read more... )

It was very blustery this morning, which means it was a perfect day to walk to church! ...Only not really at all. We are not fans of windy weather (or winy (my original typo) weather, either; what is that, like grape juice falling from the sky? first of all, it doesn't make any sense, and second of all, it seems very sticky and would most ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness, the heat. The heeeeeaaaat. It is oppressive. It's like in the video games that have, like, volcano areas or something similar, where it's so hot just standing there drains all your HP. Seriously, our HP is draining as we sit here. We were both starting to feel headache-y by the time it was getting to our earliest quitting time ( Read more... )

Today we had really, really pretty weather. It was the type of weather that almost made me think, "Hmm, maybe we should, like, go outside more often." We have a park really nearby, and our apartment complex boasts an "enchanting, park-like setting" (seriously, the grounds are very pretty), and yet...we just can't stand the idea of going outside ( Read more... )

We finally worked up the nerve to play Portal 2 again. This time, we made sure to be well-fed, because one time long ago, we noticed that if we weren't hungry in the car, we didn't get carsick as much. Also, I decided to focus most of my attention on the target-y thingie, instead of trying to watch the constantly moving scenery. And! neither of ( Read more... )
