Happy birthday, Nancy!
May. 29th, 2012 11:02 amIt would have been my sister's 56th birthday today. This marks the official end of my Difficult Month Of May. (Here is my sister wearing her Happy Chemotherapy Poncho and being witchy on Hallowe'en after chemo in 2005)
It's already 91F at 11:00 a.m. Half an hour ago it was about that in my third floor office. The central air doesn't really reach up here. By the time the air gets up here it has picked up a lot of warmth along the way. (The chilled air doesn't like climbing those three flights of stairs any more than I do...) It is, however, dehumidified, so it's much more bearable. About half an hour ago I moved some hanging plants to summer quarters so that I can lower the east-facing Venetian blinds. I still have about 16" of naked window because the windowsills are full of plants, but I'll take 66% of light/heat deflection, thankyouverymuch. In that thirty minutes the temperature in here has dropped to 86, which feels deliciously cool after the higher temp.I'm also sitting here with a fan blowing across my wet hair -- another cooling thing. And I have rediscovered the joy of ice water from my 40 oz Harry Potter cup.
I got in a morning bike ride -- down the Lakes and back, 7 miles -- before the sun really took off and was home by 8:30. Go me.
