Sweet Merciful Crap, It's Hot

....just in case you hadn't noticed. I can tolerate the heat during the day, but when it really bothers me is at night. My place builds up a lot of heat and doesn't cool down quickly, so these stretches of hot weather make it difficult for me to sleep. And with the forecast predicting 99° on Wednesday it is looking like a week with not much sleep for me, resulting in a grumpy Scott making everyone around me unhappy. Last night I left all the windows open all night with fans running and it still had only cooled off to 77° by this morning. What's worse is that outside noise kept waking me up throughout the night too.

I lived in Florida for 3 years growing up, and all summer long it was 95° and humid, and in 3 years I never got used to the heat. Going from our normal weather to this oppressive heat is just that much more difficult. It is shaping up to be a long week, so if anyone with air conditioning wants to invite me over for a few days, I'll be right there. And I can't make any promises, but I'll try to make this the last complaining I do. At least it's not snowing.

Apparetly the entire city of Seattle is completely sold out of air conditioners. I'm sure there were plenty of voters here who drove down in their Priuses (or is it Priusi) with their "earth first" bumper stickers on the back to buy an A/C unit. :p
