Cooked
Warm, it is. Summertimes in Alabama (or Georgia) are never something I've gotten completely used to. I've had friends who love this heat and can't stand cold weather. Sure, I used to love summers when I was younger (and skinnier)...hanging around the neighborhood pool, riding bikes all over the place. Heat didn't wear me down like it does nowadays. Nothing like getting old and...overweight. Sheesh.
Still, I managed to force myself to get out and mow the lawn this morning while the temperature was still below 90. What I wouldn't give for some shade, though. Wow.
Okay, enough griping. Got it done. I survived. I've got A/C. Knock...knock (on wood).
Better not get too comfy with technology, though. In the past few days, our Mazda and our living room TV have both demonstrated "malfunctions." The Mazda has started stalling out, so we took it to Bramlett...which in itself was a fiasco, b/c Bramlett just lost their Mazda franchise so we had to tow it to the Mazda dealership in Huntsville...where they currently can't find anything wrong with it... -sigh- ...though it's staleld on us intermittently since Friday...
And the TV...nothing like having an expensive TV shut itself off after 20 seconds every time you power it on. Whee!
Maybe I should move into a cave and shun all things technological. Then I'd have to learn to capture and kill my own food... learn to cave paint since I'd have no TV. Maybe I could still take an acoustic guitar, but then I'd have to still buy strings or seek out people to donate cats to me for genuine cat-gut strings...heh...and additional "sustenance." Yuck.
At the very least, I am going to try to get less frustrated when things malfunction. Anything technological will break at some point, and that's just a fact of life.
If only it didn't cost money to fix things... but that's another topic for another day.
