“People who smile while they are alone used to be called insane, until we invented smartphones and social media.”
I’ve definitely gone over the edge. I have been reduced to watching really bad science fiction movies and eating fruit. I just had a plum. I can’t even remember the last time I ate a plum. I think I was ten (okay, I don’t know. That was made-up, the ten year old me and the plum). Where are the brownies? Where are the chocolates? Why does everything I bought say certified organic? What is wrong with me?
The sun was around when I woke up, but it has since disappeared and has been replaced by clouds. Thunderstorms are predicted. The house is still cool. The AC has become a perpetual motion machine of sorts ( I know there isn’t a perpetual motion machine, something about thermodynamics. This is a metaphor). I wonder what Henry thinks when he comes inside to the cool house from the really hot outside. He must think me a magician.
I need milk and bread. Buying bread and milk whether you need them or not is usually an indicator of a coming storm, a storm of epic proportions, but I figure that’s just a coincidence.
My cream can last one more day. My freezer is full. I just have to defrost the meat. Somewhere in the depths of my freezer is a rib eye that came from the organic store. I figure it means the cow ate grass. I have veggies and potatoes.
It is time go the dump, but I’m saving that fun run for tomorrow. I’ll also go to Ring’s for a few items and to Agway for a few plants to replace the dead deck flowers. What shall I wear? A summer dress with low slung heels? Yes indeedy, I have gone over the edge.
This is it, my wit’s end. I am watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. The main character just wished for snow on Christmas Eve. I’m with her!

Hi Kat,
Today is partly cloudy but much hotter. It’s already 95° and with the humidity it feels like 100°. Our AC doesn’t get a rest either. We are still living among the boxes. Today I’m back working at home and before lunch my family were in the pool until lunchtime. I think now it’s too hot. I haven’t gone in the water because I’m too busy with work.
My son and my spouse are on this low carbohydrate kick so we have limited treats. I have been snacking on pretzels and grapes. Personally, except for chocolate, I love summer fruit and there’s nothing as good as a sweet nectarine. According to The 2,000 year old man, Mel Brooks, “it’s half a peach, half a plum and it’s a hellava fruit”. 🙂
Tomorrow I get to go into the office and teach a one hour class to one instructor. I plan on spending most of the day in the office because I get more work done there.

Hi Bob,
Right now it is 84˚; tonight it will go down to 73˚. The heat and humidity are awful despite the lower temperature. I gasp when I go outside, but the house is just the perfect chilliness.
I also like summer fruit. Sweet watermelon is my favorite. I serve it as an appetizers, a salad and a dessert, quite the versatile fruit. I can’t remember the last time I ate a nectarine. I’ll have to add it to my next order. Strawberries and blueberries are among my favorite fruits. I just eat the way they are though sometimes I make something fancy with them. Sorry about your treats! My father sometimes hit his under the couch. I have no idea why. We were adults by then. I think it came down to convenience.
Enjoy your day at the office!!
