Iced Tea day

Heat Dome Update... 89 degrees at 9:15 am. In a normal year, 80 degrees in Seattle is fairly rare. For the past 10 years our average high never even gets to 80.

There is a couple down the hall who moved in the spring of 2020. They have a gynormous dog who is nothing but hair. I mean he's the size of a standard lab with mastiff hair (actually, he might be a mastiff). The guy/owner also has gynormous hair - very nicely coifed dreadlocks halfway down his back. He (the guy, not the dog) told me last week that they were getting air conditioning installed but the earliest they could get was the end of July. They must be dying. The ex-mayor who lives two doors down is always bragging about how they don't have/need air conditioning - 'we have fans, it's fine'. Wonder what she's thinking today...

I only did 15 mins on the treadmill this morning. And I may not even make up the missing 10. Fuck it.

I'm going to take a shower and pour a tall glass of iced tea and sit.

Biggie played with Stickie a little but then decided to rest.

A really good food day

So. In my last order with Amazon Fresh, I decided to get this:



Unlike all the other meal delivery situations, this requires 10 mins of work. And it's Thai (adjacent) and it's always hot in Thailand.

So today I tried it and I'll be damned if it was easy as pie, 10 mins max (including clean up!) and delicious!! Now if you like your Thai food 5 alarm, this will greatly disappoint. But it has enough spicy in there for me. And it was just tasty. I have half in the fridge for tomorrow. Next time I think I might toss in an egg but maybe not. There will, however, be a next time. What a fun find.

Also today is pie day. I've been ordering pies from 314 Pie. They were a food truck that pivoted to online ordering/delivery. The pies arrive unbaked. They just added a chicken artichoke pie that is fab. The pies freeze beautifully. I ordered a bunch this week to have on hand and they arrived today. I froze all but one.

It's 2 pm and the temperature is still climbing but I'm considering this the Back To Normal point. I made it this far. Yes, the next week is full of temps near 90 and that is WAy Too Fucking Hot BUT... it's better than the past few days.

I think I'll check on some British police.
