Reset Forty-Nine, Day Three Hundred Ninety-Five
Monday's afternoon nap was interrupted by a visit from the plumbing company guy who came to examine the apartment. The landlord is going to have the entire place re-piped (yikes.) It's going to be a big project, and will require quite a bit of advance preparation, so I don't know when it will begin, and we're probably going to be without hot water for a lot longer than I'd expected. And of course guys going in and out and running machinery and tearing up the (cement slab) floors and the cabinets, and there will be lots of NOISE, and all during the hottest part of the year. So that's me anxious and not happy, but there's nothing to be done about it I guess.
The indigestion I got from eating the cherry turnover Sunday lasted most of the day Monday. My stomach is still a bit dicey even now, and I've had an entire meal (bland sandwich based) since. I've got three more of those things I'll have to palm off on somebody, as there's no way I can risk another attack of that sort. I kept remembering last year when an incidence of aspirated reflux left me gasping for air for an hour, and sounding like I had whooping cough. I don't think my throat has ever fully recovered from that, and probably wouldn't recover at all from another.
It's very slightly cooler today than it was at this time yesterday, And the next couple of nights could actually be somewhat pleasant, at least toward their ends, but this respite will end with July. The first nine days of the month showing in the current long term forecast all have triple digit highs, and though the the nocturnal lows are so far predicted to be mostly in the sixties, that won't be enough to cool the place down. I'm thinking July could turn out to be the most hellish month I've endured since coming to the mini-metropolis. And of course it could get even worse. The highest temperature ever recorded here was 117, one horrific day back in the 1950s. The worst day in the upcoming group will be only 107. I just don't see myself surviving 117, especially since it would be likely to trigger a power outage, eliminating the air conditioning.
But that isn't now. Now is just 75 indoors, and 69 outside, so I probably won't be dying momentarily. But I do need to sleep. There's just no telling what will be going on later today. For now, video: The Psychedelic Furs, getting wet and looking very cool (temperature wise.)
