Really?

It's as hot as stink today.

Everyone is walking, talking and thinking slower.

This morning, by the time I got out of the shower & got dressed, I was a hot mess.

Traveling to work on a hot city bus with A/C on but all the windows open,

I arrived at work looking like a hot mess.

Leaving work and waiting for a bus in the hot muggy crap outside, by the

time I got on the bus, I looked like a hot mess.

Walking from the bus stop to my front door completely soaked my back.

Eeeewwww disgusting.  Hot mess.

The second I got home, I put Crockett in the tub & splashed some cool water on his belly.

I then got in & enjoyed a tepid shower.

An hour later as Adam & I ate our salad and corn on the cob,

buttery hot mess.

At 9:30pm when I took Crockett out hoping it'd cooled down a bit...I was wrong.

I came back in, brow dripping, again, eeewwww... hot mess.

Jumped back in the shower.

9:45pm on the phone with Mom pissing & moaning about the heat.

Decide, (pardon my french) fuck it, lets put the A/C unit in the bedroom window.

I need to sleep & I can't leave home in the morning a hot mess.

It just sets me up for a bad day.

Here is the thing about our A/C unit; it is standard size.

Our window is oversize.

Until I can fix it up properly, we are certified 100% WHITE TRASH

with a garbage bag up at our window.

Truth is, I don't care. Right now anyway.

Tomorrow I will be mortified.

All I can hear in my head is that actor from Grace Under Fire when she played

Earl's mother and said repeatedly in a thick southern drawl, " Don't you judge me."



Can y'all hear the dueling banjo's rattling around my head?

Crockett is asleep and breathing normally and I sit here

typing, not looking like a hot mess, but rather a comfortable

gal in her jammies ready for a good night's sleep.

I'll take a photo & post it after I've figured out how to fix it!

 Actually,  looking at the above photo, I think I did a pretty good job!

I think the yellow duct tape is a nice touch along with the paper clips ;)

I am a resourceful girl, I'll give myself that!
