Lin announced this morning he may be away from home for two weeks. It’s been a while since that’s happened! He won’t be all that far away really, since he’ll just be over in San Antonio, which means he could come home sometime, if he felt like it, or I could stop being a weenie about driving in SA and go see him … and the multitude of other friends I have that live there. Still going to suck though, unless this heat lets up. It’s bad enough being stuck in the house for fear of burning to a crisp when I know he’ll be home come evening. Being stuck here alone 24/7 and being stir crazy will be downright awful.

Speaking of the heat, they say it’s going to be even hotter again today! Nooooo! The UV index is in the extreme range, which means normal people can be out in it for about ten minutes before skin damage begins. I am not normal, which means my pasty complexion has to stay inside or be very quick about what I am doing out there. I know I have been griping about the heat a lot lately, but truly, it’s just been remarkably insane. There’s a small chance of rain in next week’s forecast, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that will happen so things will cool down just a touch. I need to get outside and enjoy some sunlight and fresh air!

Lin is back from Ken’s Tacos with breakfast. Time to stuff my face and then decide if I want to go do some shopping today. I need new jeans. I hate shopping for clothing, especially blue jeans, but there does come a time when new jeans are required … like when the knees blow out and the butt threatens to split. So, yeah, I do need some new jeans soon. Also, I have a 40% off coupon for Hobby Lobby and a need for a new seam ripper. Target and the craft store are all in the same area, so might as well do that too. Provided I can convince myself to leave the house and do anything. At the moment, all I want to do is go back to sleep. Hopefully a huge bean, egg, bacon, potato, and cheese breakfast taco perks me up.

Already 90ºF out there. Today will be a horrible scorcher.
