Cruel Summer

"This heat has gone right out of hand..." Preach it, Bananarama. It doesn't help when the air conditioning unit for your house is broken. I think I must be getting soft in my old age. The central Florida house I grew up in did not have central a/c until I was middle school. (There were window units in the living room and my parents' room.) And, my first dorm at UF had no a/c. In both of these situations I survived just fine. Oh, the adaptability of youth!

Our a/c unit was fixed this afternoon (Thanks, Dan!) and I feel like singing and possibly dancing about the house. Meh. Maybe I'll wait on the dancing bit until the temperature in the house drops below 80F.

We're having the opposite problem! Summer in Seattle is not exactly warm--in fact, our heating has kicked in recently. We're supposed to have a high of 61 tomorrow! Our plastic kiddie pool is NOT getting a workout, needless to say. And this house doesn't even have air conditioning but I guess we don't really need it very much anyway.
