Hot, hot, hot!

Canton, Texas- on the way home we stopped at the huge 'first Monday' market.  Flea market paradise, even at above 100 degrees..... except this snowman didn't seem so very fond of the heat~  (doesn't it look like he is crying sad, sad green tears?  Why would anyone spray paint a snowman's eyes green? hummmm).... anyway, we are going through our own personal hot spell.

It's not just the outside heat, it began with the car.  Traveller car was perky and cool all throughout the journey, but once home the air conditioning started acting up, warming up, then finally overheating and dying altogether.  Meanwhile, the house was kinda warmish, but we attributed that to the save-energy-power-cycling program of the energy company, the unusually hot temps/ no rain weather we have had, and just the general hotness of our personal good looks (ha!).  But then the AC stopped working altogether Friday night...... and it's something that the manz can't fix, so it's complicated- and it's the weekend, and the expected money has yet to arrive.   So we are making the best of the heat- in our chairs, with fans and lots of cold beverages.... but the cat is funny.

Turrello has always been an inside cat.  We found him ONE YEAR AGO TODAY! yay!   But he has been spoiled- life has been all tuna sprinkles and recliners, napping in the beard and tormenting the doggs.  And airconditioning.   He likes to hang out by the fans anyway, but he doesn't understand this thing called 'hot'.  Keeps wandering over to the air vents, peering down them, waiting for a breeze.   Attempts to roll on his back on the kitchen floor and spread eagle (Just like Bear) but that doesn't seem comfy for cats.  Can't snuggle in the beard, or on the bed, and fresh warm laundry is just not the same.....life is hard.
