And that would be me.

• It's going to be 102 in Portland today. This is NOT why I left Los Angeles nearly 30 years ago.
• First thing I get up, stumble downstairs and see the chai spice tea I made last night for cold chai. So I open the fridge to get the milk. And the brand new unopened extremely expensive glass bottle of organic grassfed cream my dairyman brought me yesterday fell to the floor and shattered. I'm not strong enough to move the fridge yet, so a little of the cream is under there waiting for John to get home tonight so we can mop it up.

  Did I mention it's going to be 102 today? and that we don't have A/C?

• What does pass for A/C here is our furnace fan blowing cooler air from the basement. Welp, it's on the fritz.
• This [1] was headlined "More defibrillators, pacemakers recalled." Nearly tripped MY defib unit. Luckily, it's not my model/brand.

So at this point I think I'm going to go downstairs , drop some laundry into the washer and hope it doesn't, I dunno, blow up on me, and see about some sewing. I'm feeling inspired after years of not sewing.

Then again, maybe I'll run my finger through the needle or something. Best to sit quietly and listen to a book on tape. Not move. Just sorta hunker down and sweat...
