Randy helped Roland put the A/Cs up on
Memorial Day. Roland had wanted to do
central air, but the cost would have been more than remolding the bathroom (and
getting a new tub – which is I wanted – but not the entire expense all at once)
Three fires and still just barely getting by on Roland’s check.
Ten more days and Pamprin will be
eighteen. No more child support – well
except what the stupid state is suspending from his paycheck on the two years
that Roland was UNEMPLOYED – and what’s the point of fighting it when the
lawyer may end up sucking more out of us than Maleficent did (still does) Still we should notice an increase in his
paycheck – at least I hope.
It was 88 degrees in our city
yesterday. Roland had looked it up
online. He said there was a difference
of ten degrees from what his family members were experiencing in Tucson. It wouldn’t be so bad if the climb or drop in
temperature was gradual, but it’s not (and hasn’t been)
62 degrees.
Bamm now 88. Bam, oh we’re back
to 40. Gradual would be 62, 62, 63, 65,
64, 66, 67 . . . . I wish the temperature would just stay between 66-72 all
year long. I really don’t like these
constant 15-25 degree jumps!
We had the air on last night. It often dries me out. But I can’t stand the heat. So my choices are to wake up dry (often with
a headache) or not even sleep at all due to the heat (which I am actually
surprised hasn’t killed me off)
It’s that time of year when laundry has to
be washed more often than once a week – particularly the tops and bras. I’d just to braless if there wasn’t so much
weight in my sagging chest – but they are needed. I don’t own any air conditioned
underwear. Thermals were invented to
keep us warm – where is the underwear that will keep us cool?
Yesterday was hot! Deadly hot.
Okay, perhaps calling 88 degrees “deadly” is a slight exaggeration
(especially when I have lived through some ugly three digit temperatures) the
20 degree jump just makes it feel deadly.
And now we’re back to an indecisive sky.
Will we have rain? Will I need my sunglasses? I’m not taking my umbrella. It will be worth getting wet (should the sky
choose to rain)
Well, those were my thoughts this
morning. I could feel the wind. I put on long pants, but changed my entire
outfit before we left the house. It
hadn’t even been an hour since I dressed when the top of me was soaked! It was gross.
I don’t pick Jenna up today. On Wednesday s after school, she takes a
charter bus to her practice for the 5K that she’ll be running on Saturday. Today will be her last day before the
run. And she’ll be out of school next
week.
Today is my birthday and she made a power
point card which she showed to me this morning.
I’ve always had access to power point but never used it. My ten year old showed me how.
I’d like the skies to rain. It has rained on my birthday before. I had taken Jenna to the
doctor that year. Tomorrow I will be
taking her back to the dentist (initially she was supposed to have six teeth
pulled but three came out on their own)
Google
wishes me a happy birthday each time I sign in.
Facebook friends and others have sent me wishes – but only Google has
said “Happy Birthday, LaTiesha”
One of my visiting teachers came and got me
and took me out to lunch. That was a
surprise. She took me to a place that I
had never even heard of before. Good
food. Good company. It was nice to visit with her. It makes me feel like I’m not a very good
visiting teacher though. I’ve never done
that for any of my sisters.
The day is not over. It hasn’t rained. Perhaps after I put my first load on the
line.
