Roasting in my home.
My house is a brick oven. (I know, why don’t I make more pizza?!) It’s 90 in here right now, and today isn’t as hot as it’s been lately.
Yesterday I finally caved and bought window conditioners for our bedroom and Sami’s room. I’m trying not to abuse it, but then also I don’t want to spend my days holed up in my bedroom, so I’m sweating it out in the daytime.
The nights are much, much better sleeping in a room set to 80F, however. Once I get used to the noise of the window unit, I’ll be sleeping much better.
This week has been largely inconvenient, though I hate to complain about it because at least I’ve been able to manage all the minor inconveniences without a child in tow. (And she’s tucked away safe as houses in her air conditioned school.)
I defeated three ant insurrections, a moth… experience wherein Ben’s bar mitzvah napkins finally met their match, my date with Bob, and of course trips to Costco, Lowe’s, various errands run, personally installing the A/Cs, and the list goes on.
I went to Disneyland on Wednesday, what I thought was a much needed vacation day. I had a good time, but came back possibly more exhausted than I was before we left, and we didn’t stay as long as we’d intended. It was super quiet, though, and Laura and I got on all the rides we wanted to see with virtually no wait time. We got stuck in Haunted Mansion which was totally fine, because it was air conditioned.
My prognosis for the weekend is that we will hole up in one of the air conditioned rooms and entertain ourselves somehow. A long nap sounds just about right to me. And avoiding sunshine and heat are just the thing.
No love for summer from the Katz household.

I was actually down in Encinitas visiting my brother and his family last weekend… the nighttime heat definitely made it difficult to sleep, and I found myself missing Berkeley’s cool cool evenings. Good luck managing the heat!
I wished that the HOTNESS would come up to Seattle, instead of sit in SoCal… oh well…
