it's not the heat, it's the SUN
i observed today that my tolerance for heat and humidity is greatly increased when it's overcast or dark outside. i fucking hate the sun.
the entire weekend was overcast, and spent in excellent company, so was therefore lovely.
on saturday, we canned tomatoes. theoretically, i know how to can now, although i'd need to consult a reference to figure out the amount of time and pounds of pressure needed for my elevation and for whatever i would be canning.
the coolest part was that the stuff inside the jars kept boiling for a long time after we took them out of the canner.
on sunday we went to lowes and while wandering through the appliance section it suddenly occured to me that i think i have a way to include a dishwasher in my kitchen without a renovation. after having lived my entire adult life without a dishwasher, i can tell you that this is pretty damned exciting.
later we went for a long walk along the sea wall at ft. monroe.

i have set for myself an ambitious task: to work on the westy every night this week. it's good to have focus.

Yeah, the sun is evil. Hate it here too. Some kinda perversity possessed Fate to plunk me in a beach town where it hardly ever rains all summer long. I've been known to wear sunglasses inside my own house, trying to ward off the resulting headaches. I miss the overcast summer days in NC. Glad you got some, anyway.
