Since I'm boring you anyway
Let me tell you about the weather.
The summer so far has been cooler than normal. Rainfall has been higher, though we haven't had constant rain since June's washout.
Yesterday the weather went from cooler than normal to "Dog Days of Summer" - BLOODY HOT (for NJ)! Yesterday hit 97F (36C) or higher in some places. Humidity pushed the heat index over 100 (37.7). We had strong wind gusts and lightning at night - only some places got actual rain though. I was hoping for it, but didn't get it. Temps went down to 75 (23.9) last night, so I didn't leave the A/C on. Had all the fans going, and it was OK for sleeping. Fortunately, my fans are pretty quiet. The only problem is getting it dark enough to sleep, with the windows open and curtains and blinds partially open.
However, this morning, I woke up at 7AM and it was already 83 (28.3) in my apartment, though it was only 77 (25) outside! I went for a morning walk, and came back determined not to turn the A/C on until I ABSOLUTELY have to. The thermostat in the apartment still reads 83, but I have all the fans going and it doesn't feel that hot. But it's supposed to go up to 89 (31.6) today and I'm thinking my apartment will hit uncomfortable pretty soon. It's 10AM and I already don't want to go outside again. But I have errands to run. The rest of the week will be back to what we've had all summer - low to mid 80's (28). Not gonna complain, except for the humidity. It's like breathing through cloth.
OH! I broke down and bought a bathing suit yesterday. Well, actually, I just bought 2 suit tops. One will match the bottom I already have and the other will just have to do. One of the women I met at the BBQ was talking about dragging my ass to a Lake to go swimming and relaxing and Giants guy has a pool in his yard, so I guess I had to break down and buy a bathing suit. Grrrr. But If I want to go swimming and I want to be social... and legal, I guess it was inevitable that one of these days I would bite the bullet and get a freakin' suit. grrrrr. Oh well. Good thing I'm not vain, because whatever curves I have are in all the wrong places. I have boobs the size of dumplings, hips like a 10 year old boy, shoulders like a High School football player, legs like washed up dancer and a waist like someone who never exercises anymore. At least the last two are reality! I get ogled more when I have all my clothes on than when I'm nude or partially nude, which cracks me up. Yep, good thing I'm not vain! LOL!
