Sauna

My long-held anti-airconditioning views may be wavering. Last night (after the post-fast feast of homemade deepdish pizza), I went to bed at 12:30. A normal summer temperature at this time of the evening? 71ish. Temp last night? 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat index (what it actually felt like) according to www.weather.com? 101 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's right. You try sleeping in a sauna. My poor dog panted all night. I'll be sleeping in the musty, yet cool, basement tonight, thank you very much.

Not so much new on the shidduch scene. M.H. found me two decent guys on SYAS - I may possibly be getting phone calls from both tonight. I think I should take notes.

I ditched the Midwesterner. The final hammer blow? He asked if my parents were "upper-middle class WASPs, middle class, or working class". Hmm. How about "none of your damn business"?

I can't tell if it's the heat, the fasting, or the shidduchim that are bringing out my worst-behaved, crankiest side. I suspect it's stress brought on by shidduchim with a little bit of fasting and heat stroke sprinkled in.

That cabin in the woods in the upper peninsula is looking better all the time. Yo ho, yo ho, the hermit life for me.
