And it is only June. I dread seeing my electric bill. I keep the thermostat on 80 during the day and 79 at night. Ceiling fans are on high and I also set up an oscilating fan in both my room and Kris' room for use during the night. I love the summer season but only when I'm inside an air conditioned establishment or sitting in the river.
And summer is not the time to be getting sick. Mama has already suffered through a sinus infection. I was diagnosed with strep throat on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, I made a heroic effort and went to the local ballpark to support the crazy people playing in the ANGel Classic tournament. A couple of hours into the afternoon found me wilting underneath the pecan trees. Thank God I am too old and too fat to be playing softball anymore. I visited with some friends that I only get to see a couple of times a year so it was well worth braving the elements. I believe it was 104 on Thursday, 103 on Friday and Saturday and today is only supposed to be 99. Must be a cold front coming through if temps don't reach 100.
The cats stay inside all day long now. Daisy moves only when her stomach growls or her tongue is parched. Gray Cat moves from air vent to air vent which are located on the floors throughout the house. I can usually find Simba in my bathroom in the shower stall. It is soooo f-n hot that the birds aren't even singing.
And it's only the middle of June......

If I set the thermostat at 80, I'd have a melted puddle of little old lady. She passes out at anything much above 73. Electric bills? You do not want to know.
I believe these are the "dog days" of summer.?:)
