7:36 am and 76 degrees out...

[susandennis]

I get that for many parts of the country, 76 degrees at this hour of the day is no big deal but I am in Seattle where is it is a huge fucking deal. Even when it's hot, in Seattle is always always cools down at night and does not heat up until maybe 10ish at the earliest. What we have this morning is a travesty. I just read on twitter that today breaks a warmest low temperature record set in 1894. Great. I am inside and plan to stay here where my air conditioner is working its little butt off and I appreciate it so much.

I made a quick run to the 24 hour Safeway after my swim. While I appreciate their being open, the 24 hour part just means that while they fill the aisles with people and product to restock the shelves, we are welcome to come in and crawl over them. We should not expect a cashier to be ready to take our money and we should be mindful of workers pushing gynormous carts of stuff around. They get a bonus if they take out a customer in the process. But, I did manage to get my 3 items and get out of there and over the bridge before the traffic started to clog.

Today is house cleaner day. I have been successful recently in getting out of the house while she is here but not today. We'll just have to live together.

I'm feeling much better mentally and physically today. Energetic and seize-the-day-ish. While I was swimming this morning, I solved one fabric storage issue that's been bugging me. Now I only have about 6 more fabric storage issues to solve. More swims!

I have a shirt cut out and ready to sew. And there may be more dolls. I did one yesterday.

76ºF at 7:30 am is fairly common here but I still hate it.

Actually, yesterday Seattle made the weather news, briefly, in a one liner comment. (Although I can't remember on which channel I heard it.) They remarked that Seattle has a high percentage of buildings which do not have air conditioning, so this heat wave was not easy. Portland is even worse, of course.

[susandennis]

Yeah, the air conditioning - or lack of it - is a problem.

The apartment building they built across the street only a couple of years ago only has A/C in some of the units but not all. It's like yesteryear - restaurants and shops who do have air conditioning now have big signs out in front advertising it. The city has now opened up cooling shelters all over the city. It's going to be miserable for many people.

I feel like it stayed hot all night. It was pretty miserable. It's 78 degrees at 10 and I live at the beach, not looking forward to going to the valley later. Hopefully your weather cools down quickly!

[susandennis]

Yours, too!

It would be a really big deal if it were 76 at 7:30am here, which is also rare in this part of California. Only hot northeast winds in September could do that here.

Stay cool today. It's going to be sleepless in Seattle.

Its 95° out right now but a storm system is expected to move in sometime time.

I really enjoy seeing the dolls & other creations that you sew.

:)

[susandennis]

Oh, rain would be sooooo nice. I hope yours brings some cool.

And thanks about my creations. That's so nice of you to let me know.

[kristy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It usually cools us down for a few days.

Youre welcome. :)

I totally disapprove of nocturnal heat.
