Stupid Hot!

 Stupid Hot!

 

Got up and let the chickens out, got coffee made, got dressed to go to Sutherlands, drove to Sutherlands, bought small AC for living room. Took out credit card application, used $50 gift card and 20% sale price to buy the AC. The AC is ½ the size of the one that had stopped working. Could not lift the old one out of the window toward the yard, so guess who let it down on the living room floor (to be removed by someone who actually has younger muscles). Finally got the new AC put together and lifted into window. It weighs about the same as a bag of chicken feed since it is only a 5000 BTU unit. But it does blow “cooler” air. Left going all night, it may actually cool the living room down to a temperature that can be survived. Anyway, the reading chairs are in that room, so here’s hoping it cools the room.

 

Was sound asleep when Jo Ann Hobbs called to let me know the countryside over here was on fire. Appreciated the call, but then spent time praying for the firemen and hoping the danged fire did not get over the road. About the same time, Spectrum went down and nothing worked right. Oh well. My phone still worked, so Jenn knew I was ok for the time being. Thanks to those who prayed for us and this little old neighborhood.

 

The heat today is just insane. The gauge on the deck says 117 and the boards are so hot they burn bare feet. Just a bit much. Patty said that this kind of heat makes it very difficult to say something nice, so like Momma said, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. So, tonight may God bless all of you and give you rest. You know you are loved.
