The heat is beastly.

The weatherman I listened to last suggest that the heat is here for another week or so.  And while I have been coping, it does slowly beat me down.  Hey, but it's not like it is crushing me.  Without the ac though it would be.  When I need a touch, or lot, of cool, it can be had.  I don't always need it just when it is available.  Oh, sure, I can use the ac just at night, but at this point... why?  Burning Man is only a week, and has actually cold nights to reset the clocks.  The lows are dipping to the low 60's, but I can't get that in the cave, just can't pull it in.  Hmm... I wonder about making the front and back wall removable?  Still might not help with all the stonework and long sunny days.

I was surprised at Sam.  Even with food and water outside she decided that indoors was better.  I think even she is weary of the heat.  She followed me out to water the plants and such.  Usually she just stays out.  Not today.  Then again there might have been a critter around that she didn't like, at least with me not being out with her.  I've not seen that before though.  I just love the ways cats can stretch out and snooze.  On my electric piano, on me if it's cool enough, on the floor.  They just stretch out and - *lounge* 

I probably won't get to much.  It's just a bit warm.  Oh, I know, some of you tinker all the time, even in heat.  My main problem is the only place I can really keep cool is the bedroom.  I suppose if I redo that room I might consider putting a desk in there, for summer computing.  Just a thought.  That way I actually can cool down while... tinkering in this way.  So many ideas, so few dollars, and everything costs.  I am becoming creative though.  I might just build something myself.  Nothing fancy, but desk that folds up for winter, out for summer, and a desk for the corner out here.  The views are to die for.  I will lose those at a potential bedroom desk though.  Can't have it all, all of the time.

Bleh.  Yeah, this heat is becoming annoying.  Although... it's sort of nice to have things slow down, for natural reasons, from time to time.  Gives me the time to smell the roses.  I've learned how to enjoy down times, no reason to waste such an understanding.  Later.  Maybe goodnight?
