It got up to 100 degrees today and is supposed to get to 105-110 degrees tomorrow…and it’s supposed to be humid! Ridiculous has arrived!!!

Fires are burning about 40-50 miles to the east of us, but so far there are no fires nearby. I have a feeling this is going to be a really bad year for fires and hope we don’t get hit this time around. *knock on wood*

No doubt I’ll be painting in my bedroom tomorrow since it will be the only place in the house that will be cool enough for an extended period of time. The family room is fairly comfortable at night with a fan blowing, but that’s the only time. I expect I’ll be spending some time in the pool this weekend.

Work was exhausting this week with payroll, lots of bills to pay and too many meetings intruding on work time. I did get some good news, though. Next week we’ll be hiring someone to help me out…Yay! And it gets even better–the person we’ll be hiring is Chris Loop! Chris is in between jobs and will be temping for us until he finds something permanent. While I don’t think this is the job Chris really wants to do for the rest of his life (or even for more than a few months), it will generate some $$$ in his pocket while he looks for something else. Additionally, it will be flexible enough so that he can go for interviews when he gets them. Hopefully this will make for a less stressful work week for me as well.

Well, it has cooled down enough and there’s a slight breeze blowing (at 10 pm) so I guess I’ll tube it a bit before heading off to bed. Not looking forward to tomorrow.
