Hot Stuff... lol

Yesterday was a truly hot day, both outside and in my classroom. It's especially hot because the window cranks are busted and we can't open all the windows. So, the fans stir the hot and fetid air (fetid, because that many groups of humans occupying the space during the day means...yeah, it smells a little like hot human). 

Ew. 

Two more weeks, and I can keep my own windows open as I wish, and gulp fresh air. Sort of fresh, anyhow. The omnipresent haze from wildfires mutes the sky, and those of us with compromised breathing will let you know that things are not quite right. Usually, it's the West Coast, but this week, it's Nova Scotia. And it is incredibly dry-- I've watered my fledgling garden nightly for a short span of time, mindful of the water table and my water bill. We have possible showers in the forecast for tomorrow, and a cooling down of the temps for next week, so that'll help a little. 

It seems the cooling down of temps occurred in the House last night, too; they passed the debt ceiling bill with the expected holding of breath and stomping from the Fringe Right. Now, the bill is off to the Senate where there will be more fuss and bother. I hope they pass it, because global economic catastrophe should not be on anyone's 2023 bingo card. 

In the meantime, I'm working on myself, literally. Chiropractic care started yesterday; apparently, putting off a stiff neck for almost a year will make things interesting. I have probably three more visits to go through so I can comfortably do things like check the blind spots when driving or shaving my legs. 

And it's summer, so the latter, especially, is of critical importance. 

Have a good day, and please keep cool, in every sense of the word.
