The Cat Days of Summer
Most of our non-Seattle readers will roll their eyes at this, but Seattlites are weather whimps, so just let me complain for a minute. It has been really hot and humid here lately. I don't think we have broken any local weather records, but it has been miserable. The worst part is riding the hot, sticky, stinky, sweaty, over-croweded bus at the end of a long day in a hot "air-conditioned" office.
We have had heat waves like this before, and it's days like today that make me appreciate our stereotypical Seattle weather so I know it won't last. It wouldn't be so bad, but it doesn't cool down at night and our house isn't air conditioned (no one in Seattle has a/c at home) so our house stays a pleasant 78-80 degrees.
Just think, soon we'll be complaining that we haven't seen the sun in 9 weeks.
Like I said, we're weather whimps.

The key to staying cool at home is #1 Buy a hurricane fan,#2 try not to move around, once you achieve that catatonic pose it's not so bad. Or you can just say heck with it and go to the movies.
I'm a TOTAL Weather Wuss...!
I hate even worse when the bus that is equipped with air conditioning doesn't turn it on and your left sweating on the way to work. Why do I even bother getting ready in the morning? However, my office has finally gotten to a temp that I like, of course it is too cold for the rest of the women wearing spaghetti straps but what do I care?
