Heat Stroke





I think I'm having it. It's over 90 degrees INSIDE MY HOUSE!! This isn't something that makes me feel all warm and cozy.. Well, warm sure. Cozy, not so much.

I've been promised that our air conditioning will be done and working by the time I get home from hell one the hottest places on the planet (LV) I made mention of the fact that if the air conditioning is not hooked up and pumping out nice, frozen air by the time I'm supposed to start my return trip, I won't start my return trip. In fact, I won't come home at all. I'll stay right there, lodeged in that Las Vegas pool and I don't care how pruney I get, I won't come out.

How's that for a temper tantrum.


Oh, and my oil gauge did something wonky today. Hubby is outside looking into it right now.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy, Joy.

    I'm sweating for you...I cannot fathom what the world did before A/C. Or swimming pools. Hope they get it fixed for you so that you don't get too pruney...

    The good Lord knew not to send me to earth before the advent of air conditioning, swimming pools and ice cubes to put down my bra.

    I'd never have made it as a pioneer crossing the plains.

    "ice cubes to put down my bra"
    There goes another 7% of the polar ice cap then.

    Pammy please, I don't really do 'pruney'. Think of the future darling one.

    I'm just trying to catch up to you, Tom dearest. :grin:

    Well, the kids are in the car and we're waiting for the Teenage Irritant to get back from the gym. Yes, it's only a bit after four in the morning. She went to buy some protein food.

    I'll try and blog from the road. Hugs and kisses to all.

    LOL @ "ice cubes to put down my bra" - boy, that would get rid of any "not so fresh" feeling.

    We're hot down here in Portland too. Yesterday we played in the fountain downtown and the lovely cool feeling lasted until bedtime. Today's much better.

    I've been to that fountain! I love it.

    We made it to Pocatello. Hot, but not as hot as we were yesterday in Seattle! They don't have a wifi hookup here so I can't do my pictures till another time later on the road.

    Hubby said they are working on the ac in our house tomorrow. Mmm. Hmm. I've heard that before! :grin:

    It was 31 celcius here yesterday. Not sure what that ends up being in farenheit but suffice it to say, it is HOT! No A/C here. I really feel like I'm missing out on the good stuff...

Healing

As I've been reading Conference Talks, I was touched by one by Elder Neil L. Anderson. He spoke of healing. Not in a physical sense, although that is also within the purview of the Lord, but about spiritual healing. When we've done something wrong, and everyone has, we should rightly feel guilt. Sometimes we feel shame. Some say that these feelings are not valid, they are bad and unproductive, and I agree in part. Those feelings are horrible, but they are not unproductive if they lead you to real repentance and a change for the better in your life. We are counseled to come unto Christ, so that He may heal us. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven. There is no wrong that cannot, in the end and with proper steps taken, that cannot be wiped clean. I'm grateful for this promise--because the world needs peace and I need mercy. (That's another quote from one of the apostles). I'm so grateful for so many things--not the least of which is the opportunity to ...

Ahhhhhh

Ally and I just got back from the gym. I went every day last week and even though it's Spring break for the kids and me this week, I promised myself I wouldn't fall off the wagon. No, not that one. I've fallen off so many times I've got callouses and other assorted damages from hitting the ground. We'll see how this works out this time. One day at a time, right? I can't do more than I can do. Whoa, how profound is that? You're right. Not very. I'm fighting a cold right now---scratchy painful throat, ears that won't unplug and a heavy feeling in my chest that I fear does not bode well for the rest of the week. Not that we're taking a vacation. We'd love to of course, but what with times the way they are and the things we need to get done here, it simply wasn't an option. So what are we doing for our spectacular spring break? I'm glad you asked. We're cleaning! Yes, you heard right. And my kids (Ok, the younger ones at an...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...
