Since I just finished reading Sheepie's Wednesday Night Bullet Post, I am feeling inspired to follow right along. Probably has something to do with the contagious soggy, drippiness oozing south from the manse...
- It seems to me that spring's lease hasn't quite expired and yet summer has arrived, unpacked, and taken up residence.
- We do not approve of squatters here at chez trek but I haven't been able to find the right department for the forwarding of my complaints.
- In an ideal world, we would have the cooling units mounted in the windows and be churning out the chilly air once the Fahrenheits topped the 90° mark.
- This is not an ideal world.
- Both Number Guy and I managed to wrench our backs out of shape over the weekend and no air conditioner lifting has taken place.
- Thankfully, he had installed the bedroom units during the minor heat wave we experienced back in April.
- I really shouldn't whine all that much about the weather, I suppose. The guy who came to install the FiOS today suffered far more than I: he was thirty feet in the air, clinging to the utility pole in order that we might have extremely high-speed Internet access, fancy High-Definition television, and voice mail for our land line.
- The install guy quaffed a couple of quarts of iced tea fresh from my refrigerator.
- This made me feel a little less guilty about making the dude sweat on our behalf.
- While the installation was in progress, I dug around in the basement and unearthed an attempt at a quilt top which Neatnik "helped" me start a few years ago.
- Said quilt top was matched up with a batting and a backing. Then I visited TazzMom to discuss bias tape and binding techniques.
- No, it isn't perfect, but it is both complete and my handiwork, so I can call it "good".
- Longer-term readers migt recognize some of those fabrics, right Chris?
Ta-da!

I was just thinking that I recognize those black kitties!!
Oh, it was HORRIBLE here Monday - 96F and humidity that took the heat index up over 100. Yesterday evening, the thunderboomers swept through and today it was delightfully dry and cooler.
Ugh, I wish there were some way to share weather... we're cold and rainy here on the south-west coast of Canada... I still have the furnace on.
Love the patterns in that quilt. :)
It's been hot and muggy here, too. Took the kids to the pool on Monday and succeeded in turning myself into a lobster. ::sigh:: When will I remember to put sunscreen on both the kids *and* myself?
I recognized that black cat fabric!
Now those are some wild fabrics!
Yes, yesterday was awful and today is delightful. I heard on the news at the doctor's office (why every waiting room has to have a television is a rant for another day), that tomorrow will not be much above 60. This has been a weird May.
But the sleeping will be good tonight.
I love those little kitties! Last July, in Texas, my Mom's AC went out. The repair men had to spend 3 days in the sweltering heat installing an entirely new unit. I think at one point they turned on the water hose and just sprayed themselves down.
The heat broke here right after my WNBP. Thank heavens!!! However, I fear what this summer is going to bring. And me without air conditioning or the will to lug one up the stairs...
