temperature update

Ah, the loaded subject line.

Physically, it's torrid outside. Downright unbearable, miserable, halfway humid mugginess that is bent on my destroyment. Or, destruction, if you prefer. I'm currently eating a salad from Wendy's soon to be followed by a mini frosty. I tell ya what, salad is quite refreshing on hot days. Of course, seeing that this is the first time that food and/or drink has touched my lips all day, I think anything would be refreshing at this time. (Oh look, a word with multiple uses!)

Two things: one, I still love opera music. (and cello...cellos are superb.) I picked up a new opera cd in Borders in Seattle yesterday, by a group called Amici [Forever]. Group from the UK--where people still want to listen to actual music. ;) It's pretty good. I wish that I had those types of vocal chords and training. To be able to sing like that, all the control and...wow. It's impressive.

Two, well, I forgot what two was. My brain is fried from the heat, and my eyelids are heavy from both lack of sleep and crying today. The tears that are my constant companion. Dear Lord, will they ever leave? Will I always be an emotional wreck?! I hope that with age, I'll mellow. Like cheese or wine. Wait a second, don't cheese and wine get stronger with age? Well, I'll take strength too. That could come in handy! Very handy indeed. Strength and wisdom. Heck, I'd take age right now just to have them. (And there are the rash words of youth popping out. Ah yes, if I were old and wise, I wouldn't have said them.)

Okay, this is all rambly and I think I need to go. My salad and my frosty await. And the heat will try to kill me yet.
