It's Finally Raining

I haven't felt like blogging for a while since I've been so busy but I am going to try to be diligent again.

After a month in Seattle with no rain and searing hot temperatures, it has been a challenge living in a city that has no air conditioning. But I didn't whine a bit about it and heroically stayed in my apartment sweltering sitting in front of the fans that were blowing hot air one me (well maybe I did whine quite a bit about it but I am not a hot weather person). My poor cat was also laying around panting (it's so sad to see a cat pant) so I thought I would do the kind thing and put her in the bathtub to cool down (I even had delusions that I would shampoo her and give her a nice bath)...now I need a new shower curtain which has been shredded, she didn't even give me a chance to dry her off, so I had a wet cat dripping wet all over my apartment running wildly from me since she thought I was trying to kill her, it was not a good time, but at least she did cool off a bit. I've learned my lesson on that one.

It was nice though, my neighbor who lives downstairs who listens to Megadeath Heavy metal at full blast at times (although he never plays it after 10:00 o'clock at night), who also has extremely loud wild sex at times too, who is about 7 feet tall and has muscles and tatoos all over him and drives a huge Harley Davidson motorcycle, came upstairs to check on me to make sure I hadn't died in the heat, he even asked if I needed an extra fan, which was really, really nice...although I wouldn't take the chain off the door when I was talking with him which I am sure if he wanted to he could have kicked the door open with no problem. Anyway, it was refreshing to see someone that looks like he murdered hundreds of people to show some kindness. Restored some of my faith in humankind. BUT I have decided in the fall when the air conditoners are actually on sale, I am going to get one for next year even if we have hot weather for only a few weeks out of the year, those few weeks felt like months and months.
