Monday - chillin'

This graphic is from the Seattle Times. It's encouraging me to love my air conditioner even more than I do already.


Last week they said it would be 90's this week but while this is hot, it sure could be worse. The humidity is listed at about 75% but it doesn't not feel that high at all.



Regardless, I plan to spend the very minimum of time outside. Until September.

Every morning, I check my bank account and credit cards. A good day is when I find no surprises. This morning, for some odd reason, on my Chase credit card, I discovered an 'auto pay' option. hmmm I thought, that's a good idea. Generally, on Fridays, I pay my credit card balances to zero. BUT, in case I forget or something slips by, this would be a good failsafe. So I set it up to pay off the balance automagically every month. And then I went to Capital One and Discover and did the same thing. Why in the heck didn't I do that a long time ago??!!

Then I set up a Dolly account and booked an appointment to meet them at Costco on Friday, August 3 to buy and pick up my new chair. The Salvation Army is coming on Thursday. I hope. If the Salvation Army flakes, then I'll pay Dolly to take the to Goodwill. I like having a plan.

This morning's plan is to see how the Chromebit works. And then I have some sewing. I started new socks. I have TiVo and Roku to watch. Plenty of ways to keep busy. But, first, as usual, I need to get dressed.

I would love to have built in air-con at home, no one has it here even though it has been hitting 86 regularly this summer

What shows are on your list today?

[susandennis]

Well, I have a British Bake Off episode I haven't seen. And the whole final season of Scandal. And a couple of episodes of Take Two (which I'm fairly iffy on) and Barry (which I haven't started yet) and some other odds and ends :)

I hope you're brother has a wonderful A/C system both at home and work! My sister texted it was a high of 108 in Austin (Pflugerville) today. That breaks the all time record for July 23rd. My niece is 8 months pregnant. I hope she's resting somewhere in a very cold house.

ha! got the same text from my brother... you think they are looking for sympathy? hey, i suggested that weather might be something to consider when he decided to stay there. he blew me right off "we have air conditioning and it's not that bad" ha! no sympathy here... if you've got spare, i could just have him text you instead :)

I wrote too soon. Austin topped out at 110 today! :)

Did they forget to poll the East Coast? This seems like a dumb comparison map...

[susandennis]

I suspect the east coast has neither the highest nor the lowest numbers of per house air conditioning. this map only shows the two extremes. sorry to fill our friends list with stuff you think is dumb.

I'm sorry it said it that way. I guess I just wondered where the higher latitudes stood since Seattle is so very different than LA or Texas. My impression from living in Boston for example was that A/C was unusual there too. There were dorms at MIT without A/C.
