if you lived here, you'd whine too!

Quick! Somebody call 911! I'm being smothered to death!! Ok, so it's just the @#%! hot air, but still, anybody have god or perhaps mother nature on speed dial? I need some relief here. My little computer told me at 5:00 pm it was 111 degrees with smokey air. And you think I exaggerate about not being able to breathe? To top it off, I wasn't able to sleep last night due to the heat, so that on top of the weekend's lack of sleep puts me on the cusp of migraine land.

Remember how I told y'all to tune in and see how the smoke does to block the sun? Well, I'm giving it a big, fat F!!! According to my neighbor, whom I was chatting with for a couple hours last night while futilely waiting for a breeze to kick up, somebody at his workplace said the smoke is now working to trap the hot air at night. *Wah!* Tomorrow's forecast is for another day of 111 degree temps. I'll be that puddle you see right outside my apartment. But you better get there early in the day to see it because I think I'll be evaporating before noon. 

My survival strategy consists of shutting myself in my bedroom, turning the a/c unit up to 6 (I wish it went to 11!), and marathoning Ugly Betty (today's oh, so timely Netflix delivery) on my portable DVD player. Never thought I'd be so happy to have all three of those things. Please, Netflix, don't fail me tomorrow 'cause I'm relying on the same plan to get me through tomorrow...
