So hot that the mockingbirds are working at night
It’s so hot here that the mockingbirds are working the night shift! I’m not joking, last night when I went to bed at a few minutes past midnight I heard a mockingbird singing outside the window.
The current temperature on my north-facing, shaded porch is 99F and yes, the outside temperature that was registering on my car when I drove home for lunch was 118F! And I was parked on a patch of dirt, not directly over asphalt.
wow! that is hot. wonder why that temp wasn’t reported on the news? take care,

We got 109 here today, but by the time it hit 95 with the humidity, it was AWFUL. After 2 or so I didn’t even open the front door or step a foot outside!

Tooooasty! Makes our upper-mid-90s seem cool. Someone on Facebook posted a photo of a tray of cookie dough sitting on a car dashboard… apparently, in 40-50 minutes, you actually can bake cookies in a hot car. 😉 Can’t say I’ll try it myself, but the idea is cool!

I’m not much for the heat. Yet I’m so tiny I should love it becaue I’m always cold. Yet I like to be just in the middle. With the heat the kids are stuck inside because I don’t want anything to happen. THough they do get to get out around 6 after dinner for a couple of hours.

RYN: True, but my police career would probably have ended shortly thereafter. Besides, the boy seemed very sensitive.

iyiyiyi that is super hot! make sure you stay hydrated! ryn, “If you see him as being so much more than you are then you’ll be in too much awe to ever relate to him as an equal partner.” Those are wise words. I dont think he is so much more than me yet but I could head that direction if I don’t accept myself and acknowledge that I have different skills to bring to this relationship than >>

he does. It is just a balancing act with me and one I will learn. I just need to relax and enjoy the process.

RYC: My dentist appointment went okay. Have to get a couple of fillings on the 2nd of August, though. I guess I’ve always just had a phobia since I was 9/10 and had a bit of a bad experience. I’ve always had a gap between my two front teeth and the dentists thought they could do some kind of procedure to “push” the teeth together and I came out of that traumatised, in pain, and bleeding like crazy

Of course, I still have the gap in my teeth – the procedure didn’t work. 😉 So I’ve been wary of dentists since then.

ryn: *snickers* I hope as I get older, I will still have my sense of humor.

Ouch!

ryn: No, no, that wasn’t what I was saying at all. You aren’t old…yet. :p

ryn, how do I not hold back? that is what is so hard. I write about not fearing and then I started to get scared. Scared of letting him see me vulnerable. Scared of letting him see everything I went through. These are hard waters to walk. all I can do is keep moving forward and find a way to open up and talk. Would be nice if I didn’t overthink everything!
