Melting... MELTING!!!

I know, I know... we complain about how cold it is here 9 months out of the year, and here I am complaining about the HEAT. But, dammit... I'M HOT!!

Sticky, actually, is the more appropriate term. It's been 85+ degrees and HUMID for the past two days. I've been walking around the house with no shirt on. Silvia doesn't think it's that hot, but then, she's not pregnant like she was last summer. And we hardly had a summer last summer. But she was sleeping with no covers and the fan on high, while I was nearly shivering under the blankets. Either way, she's back to being a tropical fish, where anything below 75 degrees is too cold.

But the humidity is mainly because we've been getting some decent rain this summer, which is always good for the crops. However, it does bring the damn 'squitos out, and they are now in full force. As I've mentioned before, mosquitos here are like one of the Plagues of Egypt. But yesterday I unleashed my latest weapon: yard spray. Wow, did that stuff seem to do the trick. Before spraying I could hardly hook up the hose without having to swat at 10 or more of those cretins in the course of 5 seconds. But after I sprayed, there were seriously like 2 in the whole yard. Oh, and I cleaned the bug zapper today - talk about killing field. The entire thing was COATED - and I'm talking, 3 distinctive layers of dead bugs. It was a very twisted form of satisfaction.

Oh, and, today was my first official Father's Day! So, we went to brunch on base after church, then I spent the day with Livy, since Silvia had to work. We had fun grocery shopping for baby food, then she went to sleep, and I called my dad and grandfather.

It's 10:37 pm, AND I'M STILL HOT!!

Maybe we should spring for that window air conditioner...
