Finally A Breeze

Hola:

I am writing now from the tropical climate that is my dining room. Our AC has been out for about a week, and as luck would have it, the temperature in town has been in the blazing high 80s. It has been very hot and muggy in the house and though my landlady has been diligently working on having the unit replaced (it is old apparently) it is still in negotiations and I have been sweating it. Hard. Literally. This kind of heat causes mental breakdowns of the homicidal variety in persons of all ages, as can be seen by the behaviors of both myself and my 3.5 year old. I have been snappy, screaming, and frustrated and my little gal has gone from a sweet, quiet, we-were-afraid-she-would-never-speak darling to a lippy, belligerent demon. I am quite relieved that no one came to visit us, because they would have gone running and screaming from the home within 5 minutes. Even my teeny wiener dog has turned into Cujo. At one point I believe I saw an oasis next to the TV............

Today, there is finally a breeze and the temp is in the mid 70s. We are slowly making our way back to our pleasant, fun-loving selves. The little gal is going off with Daddy here shortly and I am off for a fun-fill afternoon of I-am-not-sure-what. After numerous dates with some real winners, I had pretty much given up on men and was sure they were all losers. i had about gone off them completely when I ran into this lovely guy who seems to dig me and is interested in spending this pretty day with me! So, am feeling a bit lucky and hope it turns out to be a nice day.

Will fill you all in later! Have a great holiday day!

Cooling off...........................
