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.
