It’s actually only 76F according to the weather app. Humidity 36%. Heat index at 76F. After a week of temps in the 90s, 80+% humidity, and heat index of 100 and up, today’s high of 80 felt delicious.
I cut a couple of inches off my hair in the back, just in case.
The forecast for next week is back in the 90s even higher than last week. wheeeee. So the crazy woman hair hacking is part of my survival strategy. I’m also considering getting hit by car and spending a few weeks in a coma in a nice cold hospital room.
I’m joking. I promise. No self-harm plans.
I’ve been working on a dress because I want to take the gorgeous goth parasol+fan Shaina gave me to the Renaissance festival next weekend. (Temp there was 81F when central Kentucky was 94F-feels-like-105F so I’m really looking forward to it.) I have a couple of outfits that would be perfect with the parasol. Heavy dresses with multiple layers of skirts and long sleeves and a long fancy-a^^ coat. Even if the mountains stay cooler, just nope.
So with only a couple of weeks until the festival I designed a weird freaky goth faerie(?) thing. I think it will end up Death Elf. You know, like a traditional medieval Death mixed with Death from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman but skewed for Elf rather than Human. I’ll post a pic when it’s done. Maybe it will make sense if you see it.
p.s. I’m really just babbling now. I mowed the front yard and clipped back the weeds that were making it difficult to get to the front door then kept clipping and pulling weeds and yanked out a lot of poison ivy. And I showered with Dawn (not a paid ad) and washed a second time with Dawn (still not paid) and between that and the gardening sleeves and gloves I think there’s a good chance my eyes won’t swell shut and I won’t end up on steroids again. Fingers crossed. I’m on the couch in my big bath towel pondering one of the greatest questions of my life:
Why didn’t I save some cold cuts for supper tonight?!
I’m not cooking after the mowing and poison ivy and all. I have to put on, well, anything and everything at this point to do a drive-thru. The only no-cooking-required foods I have are pickles, grapes, popsicles, and vodka. Which sounds like a great appetizer but a little scanty as an entree.
