No happy medium...

Well, I think I can offically state that summer in the Midwest has arrived. We have had 3-4 days in a row where the temp has peaked well past the 80F mark. Factor that in with the humidity and you literally get one hot mess. I was pretty fortunate up until about 2 days ago as I have 2 very large trees that extend well beyond the roof top. Then, yesterday, after I returned home from work, the house was noted to be a sweltering 90F. Sleeping at night was no picnic so to speak; I had to dig out the little fan and set it beside my bed just to comfortably get to sleep. Yesterday, in an effort to attempt to cool the house down, I brought it out in the living room. Needless to say, it really did not help much; I might as well have been lying outdoors. So, at the last minute, I decided to purchase an oscillating fan from Wally world today. I think my cat has finallygot settled down and I think I figured out why he was meowing all this while; his poor little body cannot tolerate the heat. At this juncture in time, he is sound asleep in his fave chair all sprawled out (yes, I made sure he was still breathing; I can see his ribs expand and collapse with each breath). So, I vainly put yet another $50 dollars on my credit card that I am trying to pay off just so the 2 of us can rest without having to soak the bed in sweat. I am amazed at how much it feels better in here! Ironically, its too damn cold in the winter and too damn hot in the summer; we have no happy medium here!
And stupid me, I go for yet another bike ride around the block in this heat. My goal is to gradually increase this distance once I get attuned to that routine (which, if my calculations are correct, it should not be too much longer). Then, I can bike over to East Lansing and who knows, maybe one of these days I could ride my bike into work (oh, hmmm....that may not work too well seems how I go for a Starbucks run each morning over at Meijer; I am sure with my strategic little mind, I could devise a plan to make that work; my God, I am a nurse, I should be able to figure something out:)
Glad tomorrow is Friday; ready for the weekend already. Have an open house to go to in Adrian; really worried my mom is going to start a fight with my grandma and cousin about her moving into my grandma's house and my grandma moving into her house. As I have said before, I understand why she did it, but I dont neccesarily agree with it.
Until next time....
