My Life Thus Far

I Know I'm Being Whiny

In my household the only thing anybody can think about is
the heat. It's like being in the sauna with no way out...
Even my tolerance with it is wearing thin and it's only
been a few days (with a few more to come). I hate feeling
sticky. Unless it's for a reason I enjoy (i.e. working out
or sex). Tomorrow it's going to be even hotter, but we've
got plans...

I woke up this morning to the sound of a diesel engine
idling. I looked out my bedroom window and saw a flatbed
truck with three Honey Buckets (a.k.a, port-o-potties)
sitting in front of my house. I came out of my bedroom and
men on ladders were plastic-ing over my living room
windows and taking off the gutters. I swear if housing
does one more thing to this house while I'm living here
I'm going to lose my mind. I'd really like to go back to a
somewhat normal existence without construction noise or
painting inconveniences. I know I'm being whiny... I blame
it on the heat :)

I had a great workout. I decided to emphasize cardio
today. I still did my usual weight routine, just one less
set (two instead of three). Then I did 15 minutes (about 2
miles) on the ArcTrainer, 5.5 miles on the Expresso bike,
and 15 minutes of basketball (I shoot from each line on
the floor until I make it, then I move on to the next
line). I love working out so much. I can't imagine going
back to a lifestyle that doesn't include physical fitness.

I was supposed to work tonight, but we're way over hours,
so I got an unexpected day off. Instead, Snookums and I
sat outside and grilled some fish, since it's around 94
degrees in our house. I know Washington doesn't get enough
truly hot days to warrant air conditioning, but the few
weeks of heat we do get make you wish every moment that
you had it. I feel so gross... Ciao.
