we’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave



maybe it isn’t so tropical. the heat indices the last few days have been up as high as 106. for daisy and I that is a bit warmer than we are used to. it does make for some fun walks. our little dollop of daisy (credit jano) is quite the pain. come 7 pm she absolutely wants to walk. she doesn’t understand that it is hot and we can’t walk. if i make her wait, she just cries and whines until i give in. then i am stuck dragging her home when we are halfway around the lake.

Back in the M-I-S-S…
we are back in ms. i’ve finished the school stuff J yay! it is definitely interesting being here. i may have felt like i wasn’t doing as much work as i wanted during the summer semester, but now that i’m not working for the next two weeks i realize that i actually WAS working a fair amount. i imagine that after my two weeks of cleaning and painting are done i’ll be ready to get back to work.

i’ve officially joined the world of homeownership – i finally bought a lawnmower. i’m waiting for early tomorrow morning to give it a try. there is absolutely NO reason to do it in the middle of this nasty heat. considering how bad it looks I can’t wait to get my lawn mowed

also an update on the stove. the repair man came out yesterday. he attempted to fix it with some parts he had. that didn’t work. so he had to order parts. we’ll be another 9 days before it comes in, and then it will be another couple of days before they can come out here. good thing i don’t need to bake any cakes.

where’s the venison?
remember when i got hit by a deer last winter? well, it is 8 months later and i nearly got hit again. this morning at 10 am i was driving into town and a deer bounded across the road about 100 feet ahead of me. luckily, i didn’t get hit. since i now live in the money pit i don’t see a new car in my future.
