Dopey

The odd sleep schedule is continuing, and August has gone back to being August again. The combination of heat and random napping has put me out of sorts. It's cooler by night, but then the insects begin to buzz, and they keep it up until dawn. Plus it will only get down into the high sixties tonight, which is not low enough to get the house cooled for tomorrow. Things should improve over the weekend, but the first real cold snap is still nowhere in sight. I'm already eager to see some actual color on the dying leaves. The gray and brown they turn when heat kills them lacks any quality of the picturesque.

Now I'm going to go heat up a can of chili. For some reason I like spicy food better when the air gets hot. Maybe because it gives me an excuse to have an extra beer. I wish the strange sleep patterns weren't leaving me so dopey, though.
