What the heck Gaia

So I saw this posted on Facebook....





And after the summer we have had with 40 days over 100 degrees. I was sooo excited.

Yes cooler weather on the way .

Then I watched the news today and saw this....





Oh yeah. I live in Texas. And in central Texas now where drought conditions rule and temperatures are high.

When I moved here last August it was an unusually wet year and the average temperature 87. My brother said the east Texas weather must have followed me to Austin.

Well this year was unusually mild through June. The normal first 100 degree day is June 29th but this year it was July 14th. The weatherman said we might not even have 32 days of 100 or over this year. 

But it was a trick. Austin had NO rain at all in July. We even had 19 days in row over 100 that was the 3rd longest in record keeping history. That is hot. Where is a tropical depression when you need it.

I really was hoping to be able to break out the sweaters and hot chocolate soon. Well maybe in December I can put up the shorts and flip-flops.


Until then I will just have to be content with this....

I blame Geoffery

Remember this commercial



I do. And everytime I don't want to adult I sing this song.

There are many times I am just tired of making all the decisions that we all must make everyday. Most of the time I just knuckle down and get it done.

But there are times I think of this and Geoffrey's message of not growing up. I then put off my work and play.

Yes there is a lot of benefits doing just that. But if you do that to much, you get in trouble. Bills don't get paid. The house doesn't get cleaned. Dinner doesn't get cooked. Clothes don't get washed. Plans for the future don't get made and you slip into the limbo between childhood and adulthood.
 
As I look around the house at the clothes piled in front of the washer, bills piled on the table, and dishes in the sink. I hear my mother's voice in my head saying to just get to it and get it done.

 So I might as well get to it.... but wait. What is that I hear? 

"I don't want to grow up. I'm a Toys for Us kid..."
