In which I don't take it out on someone, though I was tempted

By yesterday evening, I was cranky. Partially a byproduct of the heat and haze (though yesterday's haze wasn't quite as bad as Thursday's haze), and partially because I'd tried to see if I could keep the house from getting as hot as it had Thursday, a day I was mostly gone from it. I didn't. In fact the house on Friday eventually got up to 89° Fahrenheit, one degree warmer than it got on Thursday. Friday was, in a bit of relief, slightly cooler than Thursday (mid-to-upper 90s! Not triple digits!), but I'm guessing the house was still holding on to some of that heat, so I hope the house can get cooler as this heat wave lessens. But yeah, I was cranky.

What I had to tell myself: It's not anyone else's fault that you're cranky. Good reminder to not take out my crankiness on other people.

This morning, as I did yesterday, I opened the front door, taking advantage of the cool air we have for now. The house this morning started at 81°; now (I just checked), it's 76. During this, a neighbor cat thought the open door meant he could visit inside, so eventually for a little bit I closed the door until he went away to explore elsewhere. Don't get cranky with the local pets either, Chris.

I should have gone out yesterday. Exercise and interaction and simply seeing other places than one particular house would have helped.

And thank goodness that, for now, it's cooler.

Working. It’s working.

This deserves large text

A little truth, at the moment:
