Oh Boy is it HOT

I know the rest of you are sweltering as well, but holy hell is it hot here....and so humid, although I have no idea where the humidity is coming from it is so dry here again that my lawn has turned brown and crispy, again....poor grass. R and I were outside at 6 am today trying to get a bit more done on the landscaping before it got too warm....by 8 am it was warm....but we worked and sweat it out until noon...the heat drove us inside then....we showered...and R had a little nap while I read....then we had lunch...luckily for us our house stays nice and cool in the heat...it is comfortable 18 degrees right now...if it gets above 30 for 4-5 days then the house temp rises to the low 20's...but still bearable...I try not to do too much cooking...and really wish we owned a barbecue this time of the year....I think R might get tired of eating cold leftovers...thank god for the frozen dinners I had put in the freezer after our big fancy dinner parties...

Tomorrow we have to drive friends into the city to pick up a bike they bought at Toys R us for their grandson....a bit of a glitch when they went to bring it home last weekend...it wouldn't fit in the trunk of their car...so we take our truck and they buy lunch....I am going to force them to follow me through Michael's craft store...they have paint supplies on sale this week....whoopee. I have to go get a prescription filled but otherwise I am open to suggestions as to what we do the rest of the day...however it is suppose to be really hot...and I hate hot weather...it makes me bitchier...if you can imagine...

Well we finished up the last of R's mothers estate business...thank god....I always end up being responsible for keeping track of it all, I did when his Dad passed away too, they all said, since I have had so much experience burying people and seem so good at it...I should do it....great...I secretly think it is because I can deal with that shit, dividing things up and the bookwork, impartially, that it takes the load off them and stops any bickering there might be...I am Switzerland....no really...you pool it, divide it three ways no whining, winging or politics....even steven...now shut up.

besides it's all just stuff....you can't take it with you and it sure the hell isn't worth fighting over.....

R and I are living in landscapers hell....we thought we would finish the second bed this morning and installed the same block wall twice trying to get it level and match up in the corner with an existing wall.....but at noon when we thought we were finished....we weren't.. we waved the white flag and came inside...but are faced with taking it apart a third time and re-setting the blocks....if you're going to do it, do it right, right.... that's what I say too....R, however wants to just leave it the way it is...ahahahahah poor guy...I think tonight while he is cutting hay I will slip outside and do it myself...
