Hello Kitty

tonight it's just me and the kitty. i find myself in the company of no one other than this diminutive mammal because of our defective a/c. mom took the rest of the refugees to camp out at the fearings. i am currently sitting in 100* +. i've always said that cold was better than hot because you can keep putting clothes on, but you can only take so many off. ironically, as i looked through the slim pickings in the fridge for supper, i settled on chili. after barely beginning to nuke it, i opted instead for chilly chili, most of which is settling in a peculiar way at the very bottom of my stomache.

the most recent development in this two day heated saga is that i am no longer alone. owen startled me by bursting in the front door. fans galore have invaded our home. never did an occupying force meet such a joyful reception. last night courtney abandoned the sauna she was sharing with bethany and slept in my room. we'll see how many people join us there tonight... but the fans make a whirled of difference.

thomas joined me for running this evening. it was fun times. it was also completely dog-free. there's nothing like the joy of whisking through the wind with exactly zero canines (who are thinking bad thoughts) at your heel.

sweet dreams.
