Napped

I've slept another evening away. It might be worth spending money to run the air conditioner just to stay awake in the evenings. My schedule is now totally catawampus. I hope I can stay awake tomorrow evening, at least, to watch the full moon rise.

Most Uncool

Even with the air conditioner on I fell asleep, and this time did so before dinner. Not only did I not get to see the full moon rise, but I now have to make dinner after midnight.

The heat has shrunken my brain. If I shake my head I will probably hear it rattling about like a walnut in a jar.

No crickets are chirping in my yard. It occurs to me that I haven't heard them in several nights. I have no idea what has become of them. Perhaps I've watered too little and they've gone to damper yards. Perhaps the cats have destroyed them all. I stand in the moonlight listening to more distant crickets. Why have I none of my own? Cricket envy is a terrible thing.
