It got up to somewhere between 105-110 degrees in Pasadena today–at least that’s what the weather forecasters said. All I know is that it was damn hot! I didn’t leave the a/c running while at work, just the ceiling fan in my office and the floor fan in the family room. As a result, the house was hotter than hell when I got home from work. I don’t think it really helps to leave the a/c running during the day–mostly it just wastes electricity. And I don’t trust leaving the attic fan running when I’m not here. It’s original to the house and I don’t want to take any chances. The house doesn’t seem too hot for the cats as there are places they can go that aren’t too bad. It took a couple of hours to cool things down tonight, but at least my bedroom is comfortable since I have a/c there.

Things are supposed to cool down by Friday which is good. I can take temps in the 80’s and 90’s, but when it gets hotter than that it’s just too much. I picked up lots of salads at Trader Joe’s on the way home from work. I can’t handle eating much more than that when the weather is like this.

At least I’m back at work where I can spend the day in an air-conditioned office. I would certainly get nothing done at home in this kind of weather!
