Last night I was pretty sure I was having a heart attack. It felt like I should tell Elizabeth I was coming. I figured that by morning, I'd be dead or fine. Turns out it's door #2. I'm not unhappy with the choice.

And it was hot. My air conditioner was working as hard as it could and not keeping up. I tried sleeping in the living room but gave up and came to bed with a spray bottle to mist myself down in hopes the ceiling fan will cool me off long enough to get to sleep. Worked fine.

Depending on which 10 day forecast I look at, after today, things get better. Today will be 90's, tomorrow will be mid 70's.

This morning I'm off to the pool but it does not open until 8 and I have about an hour before it makes sense to leave here.

This is part of a conversation I had in the locker room this morning:

30-35 year old woman: Where would someone buy one of those?
Me: Oh Amazon has a bunch of different kinds.
Her: Wow. That is the second time today someone has recommended Amazon. My earbuds died and I was going to pay another $200 to replace them but my girlfriend told me Amazon had them for $150. I need to go to that Amazon.

In Seattle! This conversation happened in Seattle. I totally get that not everyone shops on Amazon as much as I do but... I was shocked

1. that anyone her age had so little acquaintance with it

and

2. anyone in their right fucking mind would pay $200 for freakin' earbuds!!!!

Clearly my world isn't as expansive as I thought it was.

Great swim. Once again, someone neglected to lock the door last night I about 10 minutes before the mean girl who won't let us in early even got there, I was in the pool swimming. Thanks, person who can't get all the doors locked at night. You rock.

I stopped at the grocery after and got stuff for Waldorf salad and some nice, thick ham slices. Cold ham and apple salad. That will be my dinner until the temperature resets.

I'm going to chop and mix the salad and then go back and see if the sewing room is cool enough to work in. This may have to be a living room/bear knitting day.

My a/c is hanging in and doing the best it can and while you wouldn't want to store meat in here, it's not too bad. I got a little sewing done. I made two dolls and tested out some twin sewing needles in hopes of getting an easy, nice looking hem on some shirts I'm planning. I learned a lot about my machine and also think I learned that twin needle sewing isn't worth the hassle. I have one more thing to try but it was getting too hot back there. Tomorrow will be fine.

Plus it's baseball time.
