Mark hasn't had time to install his units. With the temperatures in the high 60's and low 70's he "doesn't need them yet." So two nearly new air conditioning units are sitting in his apartment, unused.
Meanwhile, I'm here in Colorado Springs where it's unseasonably warm. Though not near me, three wildfires are burning and ash has fallen on my hair. My eyes are watering from the smoke. I have four fans going and hope my brothers-in-law will set up my air conditioner soon.
My best friend had to help her parents load up their belongings and evacuate their home. The estimate is 100 homes destroyed and possibly some deaths. The fire hasn't been contained. It isn't even summer yet.
I'm still unpacking, making some progress. At least I can walk around and not fall into a box or a storage crate. I do have to take a chihuahua head count before I take a box out to the recyclables container.
DH just got back from two days in Brussels, Belgium. Tomorrow he leaves for Poland. I can't sigh any deeper without harming a body part.
I'm watching my chihuahuas playing right now. All six are trying to cram themselves into one dog crate, like clowns in a Volkswagen.
I have nothing funny or clever to end this entry with. So here's a photo of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Paris.
Yeah. I'm not there either.
I can picture the dog circus at your house so vividly! I once volunteered (I should strike that word from my vocabulary FOREVER) to house sit a mama cat and her six kittens (WHAT was I thinking!) I came home one night from a long shift at the hospital, exhausted, sooo looking forward to the peace & order of my humble cottage...unfortunately the kittens had decided otherwise--the sheers at every window were in tatters where they'd done climbing exercises, flower pots were overturned and dirt was scattered EVERYWHERE after digging exercises, and there were shattered odds and ends everywhere where they'd apparently practiced pouncing on inanimate objects. It looked like a hurricane had blown through...the kittens were curled in the laundry basket--cute as buttons, piled on top of each other...and I think they were smiling! Hope things settle down soon for you dear Theresa...and you consider curling up in the laundry basket for a nap! Love Kaitie
