Day 1240: Saturday stuff

[eve_prime]

Today I worked on that cost paper thing until the monitor was giving me a headache. Then I watched a new (to me) Babylon 5 episode, and then I mowed J's lawn for Tuesday's book club meeting, because today was the last non-hot day for that. Here is our horrifying forecast... Sunday 104°, Monday 109°!!!, Tuesday 105°, Wednesday 103°, then back to normal soon after that. (In Celsius, that's Sunday 40°, Monday 43°, Tuesday 41°, Wednesday 39°.) I foresee lots of hiding in the house, although I guess I do have to head out mid-day to liberate the cats from J's house. Hm.

Anyway, then I rested my eyes by reading in J's house, keeping the cats company, then I came home and watched the rest of a Hallmark movie to make space for tonight's anime, which I'll have to wait to watch until J's return. The movie was a sequel to Big Sky, the one where a New York teacher and a Montana cop get together with no particular cultural differences *ahem* because she likes country music. This one, naturally, was the story of their engagement and wedding.

Meanwhile, here's what J did with his brother's family and his mom: They visited the Cape Fear Museum, then took the Southpoint Ferry to Fort Fisher, then to a nearby beach where he and his brother did some swimming, then they drove up the peninsula until home again. They ate Mexican food, then his brother played some video games with the kids, then J. watched Babylon 5 with me, then eventually he went to bed.

well i sure hope your weather does not get that hot, my goodness!
i see on my weather app for you 104 tomorrow and i certainly hope it does not get to 109, yikes!

I realized the obvious solution to the problem of having to go let the cats out. It is: if it's that hot outside, the cats should stay in with the air conditioning! Especially Ambrose, with all that thick, long fur.

I hear you! That is such a worry with these thick coated fur-babies.
Try to stay cool this evening, tomorrow and until this heat wave breaks.

For sure! However... the smoke in the sky has apparently kept the heat down, and we maxed out at 100, not silly 109! So I just went and let them out for a few hours. The smoke isn't all that bad, either - the sky is yellow and ugly, but the particulate count is pretty good.

Thank goodness! I hope tomorrow works out okay!

[eve_prime]

We've postponed it again.

Those are insane temperatures!

[eve_prime]

The funny (or "funny") thing is that the smoke is blunting the heat.

[claidheamhmor]

That doesn't sound like a good thing!

[eve_prime]

If it's ten degrees (F) cooler than the heat wave we were expecting, it's a very good thing.
