So: I am hot. Very hot. Tremendously hot. I am finally getting a new air conditioner. I know, I should have done this before and I have no excuse, but I really am joining the modern world and I do feel a bit guilty. But, hell, I am almost 60! I can rationalize the waste of energy since I have had too sick pets and am sick of hot flashes myself. I can say that it will help sell the house as will the new roof that I had installed last month if I decide to move. The fact is, I have always had a hard time spoiling myself. I have always been amazed by my good fortune, and often felt that I do not deserve this wonderful life that I have with Doug. There are so many people and animals in the world without love, without food, without support of any kind, it can be overwhelming to contemplate. All we can do is never enough, but we can do what we can and we must realize that part of the equation for happiness is making sure we take care of ourselves and those we love. So here ya go self and the other lovely beings in this household: be cool!
You guys didn't have an air conditioner? I guess it makes more sense in Utah but I would have left Maryland long ago if we didn't have something to save us from the humidity. Hope you and your dogs are going better in the coolness!
ReplyDeleteOh, we had one but it died a few years ago, and I just kept putting fixing it off because the last few summers have been very mild and we have been traveling a lot. But the last few weeks have been beastly so I took the plunge!
