It's Hot

The current temperature in my house is 84 degrees. That means it's well over 90 outside. I refuse to turn on the air conditioner because all I can think about these days is our fossil fuel crisis and how maybe the planet will live one day longer if I just stop turning on the damn air conditioner. But it's hot.

We have a guest coming from Germany tomorrow and, as I discovered upon my return from Germany, my house is in a shambles because I was gone for so long. Obviously no one else takes cleaning as seriously as I do. It looks better since I have been doing a bunch of work on it after I got back. But it's not ready for prime time. And it's very hot.

Our niece who watched our cats while we were gone decided to put all of their poop in the fireplace, rather than throwing it away in the trash. I guess she figured she would burn it before she left. Only she didn't. We tried, but apparently cat poop does not burn. I figure my niece's creative decision making will end up costing me hours of extra work and hundreds of extra dollars. But hey, at least I'm not in Germany anymore.

It's hot.

HOME

After what seemed like the longest London to L.A. flight ever, I arrived back home yesterday afternoon. My lovely hockey teammates were waiting for me at the airport in their GOLD JERSEYS. God, I love them. I was so happy to see them. And I was so happy to be back at home. Of course I have been up all night because I haven't been able to sleep very well in what seems like 2 years, and besides there is just so much to do. My house, after almost 5 months away, is pretty much a disaster. But so far I have cleaned and scrubbed the kitchen so at least one room is clean. There is stuff everywhere. I also have some law school prep work to do, so I am working on that as well. I am just happy to be back and to not be in Germany anymore.

I will write more in this blog later, including a Germany post-mortem. I may actually keep it up in the future as a place to write about the rest of my law school experience and as a forum for me to say what's on my mind.

HOME IS SWEET.....
