So read the recent headlines on CNN.com. California is hot! Cattle are falling over! And so is Lindsay Lohan! Oh! It's really getting hot in herre! In just a matter of days, our tastemaker ensembles have gone from nearly-there bikinis to hospital gowns. Not. A. Good. Look.





Not to be trite, but I would be one of those dead people if not for what's left of my youth and a full-time day gig. I am fortunate enough to work in an air conditioned office all day and have a reprieve from that global oven out there. I am focused on long-term comfort and not becoming the 91 year old "rose lady" on the block that expires on her chair for the damn heat. May she rest. (see the Fresno Bee for that one.)


Next.

I am doing much better because I have one 10,000 BTU Air Conditioner on the way. Me happy. I ordered it online with the assistance of a kind hearted helper doing me a favor ... like an Angel on Earth. It should be delivered next week and I will be on my way to a civil home environment. One down, two more to go. What? You say ... three a/c's??? I say ... It's hot y'all.

Yesterday morning Prima fell out of the window when the screen gave way ala the flying kittilini's ... What a scare for mommy. At first I thought I could pull her back up because she was in the tree branches directly outside my living room window ... but no ... further she sank. I ran down the stairs with my gym pants on backwards (quickest thing I could grab) and I was able to retrieve her from the screen of my neighbor below. There she was yowling away and hanging on for dear life ... like a scaredy cat.

Here's a recent picture of the little one. And I'm out.

p.s. get well soon Lindsay ... love you!
