Week One
Week one: The angle of the sun is more severe the further south you go. Everyday the temp has slipped over 100 degrees. To be caught out in the open during the afternoon is an experience in the total lack of mercy of nature.
"It's a dry heat" . Yes, it is. Kind of like breathing fire. Yesterday,(Thursday) our household goods arrived. I went out and bought 32 pints of water for the 4 man crew. By the time the day was over I had made a 2nd run and 48 pints had been consumed,by the crew. the temp topped out at 102 degrees! On the upside the crew guys told us that this was unusual heat. Normally it would be in the low 90's this time of year.
So now we have a 2 car garage full of stuff along with boxes of stuff in every room in the house. Sherry's bed room furniture was too big for the room. So we have it in our living room and "game room" on the 2nd floor. The bed is set up ok in the B/R. It comes apart quite well. The dresser and armoire are huge and heavy. It took all 4 movers to get the dresser upstairs. It is very nice to sleep in the bed again. We ate at the diner table with a home made dinner tonight. Just a routine spaghetti dinner but it really tasted great!
We went to Seaworld on Tuesday. They pretty much have it down on how to keep a crowd from wilting in the afternoon. One cool thing was the ride that is a lot like the old Log roll ride. When the cart is going down the one steep drop the bystanders can watch from an area where you can be drenched. At 4:00 PM that drenching sure felt good.
We actually received a measurable rainfall this morning. Maybe 1/10th inch. But it was good for soaking the entire lawn.
Oh well, I've bored you enough. Next week I start my search for a j..j..job. So I can w..w..work.
