52/162: The Last Fry
Jul. 14th, 2025 10:12 pmMonday brought the last triple-digit high in the forecast for... two weeks?!! And the nights after tonight will all bottom out in the mid-to low sixties. It sounds like something close to relief. Those coolish nights might actually chill the place enough that I won't need to use the air conditioner the next mildish day, or will need it very little. And I'm thinking this month's utility bill might remain below a hundred bucks. Now next month's is apparently going to start out very promising as well. Is this too much good luck? Am I tempting fate? Tempting fate can be very risky, especially when you're as hot as I am, because fate might not be able to resist screwing you. Fate is sort of the Jeffery Epstein of superstitions.
Anyway, I'm going to fix some dinner again tonight, if I can get my act together. At the moment my butt is glued to this chair with a big gob of lethargy (this sounds worse than it is.) If I were seriously hungry it would be easier to move, but I snacked on ice cream a while ago and am barely peckish. The next while will be a race between hunger and sleepiness. I'll end up either eating or hitting the hay. If I were a horse those would be the same thing, but being human my life is not that simple. I must make choice after choice, decision after decision, until I fall down dead from either exhaustion or obesity. Strike that. I can also drink, so either exhaustion, obesity, or alcoholism. The latter would be easiest, I think, so I might give it some consideration.
My brain is fried, I must give myself a cease and deist order. Maybe I can write more tomorrow, when it will be a bit cooler. My brain will probably be only mush by then, not fried mush. I'll put butter and cinnamon sugar on it, it will be fine.
