I want a pool

So I think I will fill my bathtub with cold water and pretend it is a pool. Damn it is hot.
The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. Grumpy got me in trouble at my meeting. He was feeling frisky and sent me a text message that was meant to make me squirm but made me laugh. I got back yesterday afternoon and after picking up some german food (dumplings, spaetzle, brussel sprouts and gravy) I went home. Grumpy greeted me very happily (I had been gone since Wednesday morning). The pups and kitties were just as excited. After some "extra curricula activities" I started on my homework. I had to do a simulation about health care operation management and then write a paper about it. It was getting late and I just wanted to be done so I just typed away. I was finished about 1am and started to close some of the word docs I did not need anymore when I inadvertently closed my paper without saving it. I could have screamed, I was so mad at myself. The paper was due at midnight, so I had to do it all over again. By the time I got to bed it was after 3pm. Grumpy woke me a little after 7 am but had a hard time to get me and Cleo out of bed. You can imagine I am just a bit sleepy, I just got back from Starbucks with my Venti Double Chocolate Chip frappuchino with 3 shots of esspresso. The picture showes my car thermometer today. It was 150F when I got in. The car was parked in the shade with the windows open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is ridiculous we should be given off due to the heat. I remember growing up (no A/C anywhere in Germany) We'd get to go home at 9 or10 am when it got into the 90's. We'd go home grab our pool bag and head to the big pool (there was only one outdoor pool for my town). We'd hang all day in the pool and and then walk home after closing. Those where the good times, I miss being a kid but more than that I miss being home.

At first I though that was your spedometer. I was thinking you need to slow down. The sign outside me says 93, but I know it has to be more than that, between the humidity and the stupity where I am it feels like 110.

OMFG!! That's pretty damn hot. It's ridiculously hot here as well. Like walk outside andbe so covered in sweat it looks like you've jumped under the shower. Highly alluring to the opposite sex too.

Cherry - I never get why guys find seaty women attractive. To me sweat is a total turn off.

Wow! That's hot!

We had 100 again this AM, but this afternoon we had a hail storm with tons of rain & it dropped to 70.

It's nice that everyone missed you so much when you got home!!!

That sucks about the word doc. :-P I HATE when that happens.

Jin - wow hail storm, I don't think we have those here. Yeah everyone is pretty happy that I am back especially cleo as I serve as her pillow.

I cannot believe you shut it off without saving it...I think I would have been bordering on killing myself. hahaha!

Cherry - I was sooo mad. I did not mean to close it, I had meant to close the other doc I had open.
