The news is all a-buzz tonight-- it's always nice when they have something "big" to report. Today was apparently the hottest day on record in Western Washington. WOOHOO! We did it! Now, tell me where the air conditioner is because I'm going CRAZY!!! Here in Washington, we don't have weather like this. You live here because you prefer the temperature not to reach above 80, MAYBE 85 degrees. Now, I am a lifer, I've never lived anywhere else. I've spent short, yet extended periods of time away (I lived for my last quarter of nursing school in Belize and I thought I was going to DIE.), but I have CHOSEN to live here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest because it is MILD. There is no requirement for central a/c. I LIKE it that way. But today, when the temperature reached 103 and the fans were doing nothing but blowing hot air around the room, I thought I was in hell.We weren't at home all day, mind you. I'm not that stupid! S, T and I all packed up this morning at about 8:30am and hit Lake Washington. It was PERFECT! We were literally the 2nd people on the beach and the water was still as glass. I knew it would be packed later on, so I thought early was better and I was right. We left at about 11:30am when the throngs of people began to arrive. In the meantime, we had a grand ole time building sand castles, swimming in the temperature perfect water (actually, I kind of wished it was a little cooler!), and playing at the park. I think we may have to do a repeat of today tomorrow since it is predicted to be 99 tomorrow. Lord help us all.
