We're under a heat advisory for the next 2 days. Today's high is supposed to be in the low 90s (F), and tomorrow's, if they're correct, should hit 98 (F). The Central Air did kick on yesterday, and I don't doubt it will kick on today. That's fine.
This warm weather quickens the drying time for my laundry; the moisture is evaporating from my first load as I type. How late into the fall I go with the drying rack is anybody's guess. When I was a child, my mom hung clothing out to dry year-round. She also had a wringer washer, which didn't wring out as much water as people thought. Those were the days when everything need to be ironed. That was housework. Women who complain about doing housework today really have no idea what life was like 60 years ago.
I was talking to my neighbor yesterday morning, and she was complaining. They've discovered that their going to need a new roof (this is why you pay for the home inspection before buying a house.) I feel bad for them, but at the same time I don't. Her son's a freshman at Temple University, and depending upon how this year goes for him, they might sell the house and move, at least that's what she implied. Oh, and when I suggested she might want to get a part-time job now that her daughter was in school she told told me she couldn't because she liked to... and she put her thumb and forefinger together in front of her mouth and toked on an invisible joint. That's right, she's a pot head. (Can you hear me laughing?)
And Halloween came to work yesterday. The orange rolling gates blocking it off from the public are essential because some customers will randomly open a box. People get really excited about Halloween decorations. Oh, and that's only about half of it.
