Slow in the heat

[darkemeralds]

Not being the world's biggest fan of summer, I put off doing much on the mudroom today, even knowing that tomorrow is supposed to get even hotter OMG. I know that most of my fellow North Americans have had the heat longer than we have here in the rainy zone, so I'll restrict my weather bitching, since today was our first really hot day. But OMG I do dislike hot days.

An entire bucket of paint stripper did not avail to loosen the coating on the concrete foundation wall. I thought of going back to the hardware store for something even more toxic and horrible, but it was too hot. Toxic shit seems more toxic in the heat.

I did get some painting done before the afternoon got into the high 90s, but nothing picture-worthy.

Then I came in and spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME hard-resetting my damn phone. Grr. Windows Mobile operating system: I am done with you! It takes hours to get all the ringtones and text message alert tones and pictures attached to my contacts again, and hours to get all my apps re-loaded and set up, and I don't even remember which cooked ROM I flashed a year ago, but whatever. I'm getting an Evo as soon as I can.

And now there are mosquitos in the house going mmmmmmmmmmmm near my ears. Summer nights. Ptui.

Hottttt - of course, I'm closer to the east coast, but I sympathize. :) Being trapped inside by the heat is driving me crazy!

Yeah, it's going to start getting to me, too, pretty soon. Unfortunately, I don't have air conditioning (it's not real common here in houses), so being trapped inside means "out of the direct sun" but, by afternoon, not appreciably cooler than outside.

Oh well! The forecast calls for mid-eighties by the weekend, so between now and then it's cold showers and taking it easy, I guess.
