melting in the city

It was blazing hot and humid yesterday, reaching about 95F, with a heat index of 102. The air quality was poor, and I could feel that in my lungs, making it harder to breath. The ac was working all day in the bedroom, so I holed myself up in there. Come evening the compressor wouldn't kick in again, so I was without air. Came into the living room here at about 4:30 am when I couldn't take the heat in the bedroom any longer. It was a little fresher in here, the morning air at about 72, and there was a coolness to it.


I only like hot weather when I am up in the country, surrounded by trees, and preferably by a wide running stream. But in the city, as you know, I can't stand it.

I am having a lot of trouble leaving comments for certain bloggers. I know Blogger is to blame, but it is making me very annoyed now. There have been quite a few of you who I've wanted to leave comments for, but it was impossible.

5pm now, and 85 degrees with high humidity. Would be nice if a thunderstorm passed through, but there's only a slight chance of that. Perhaps I should bang my drum to beckon the Thunderbeings.

    I have the same problem commenting. And sometimes the letters comes black on black and I can´t see what I write. :( Maybe Blogger has overworkt it all.

    I had a little drum like that before, but now I don´t know where it is.

    Heat was awful in MA also ~ Now today it is rainy and 55 ~ Crazy ~ Tell where did you get your drum? ~ A few of us would like to start a drumming and circle and would like to buy some Native American drums?

    OOof, I feel your pain. It's been ungodly hot and sticky here too--and as an apartment dweller, that means a lot of drinking in the day time. Haha!
