Today's Temps: Tonight, June 9, Clear High of 99° Low of 75°
1. Schools close early due to heat.
2. The ants that have plagued your kitchen and laundry room for weeks come out in full force, making the floor look nearly black. Well, not that bad, but close!
3. It's better to keep your downstairs windows closed and the ceiling fans on than to open the doors or windows.
4. You wake up in your air conditioned bedroom and are still drenched in sweat.
5. You feel the need to change your sheets every day due to Reason #4.
6. You stay home all weekend so you don't have to get into your un-air-conditioned car.
7. Cooking? What cooking?
8. The shower becomes your best friend...long, cool showers. Followed by another long, cool shower.
9. You only clean the house after midnight, when things have cooled by 4 degrees.
10. And finally, most disastrous of all, your beloved fish, Kamau, who has been with your family for about 9 months, dies of suspected heat stroke. Poor Kamau.

Becky- Sad to hear about Kamau, but I'm sure he had a good life. We feel the heat up here in MA too. Just another reason to go get yourself a refreshing iced coffee!
p.s. we miss you guys!
Ahhh I NEVER have days like that out here...and actually kind of miss them. (once in a while would be nice but not all summer!)
