If you are planning to move to Texas, read this first......
May 30th
Just moved to Texas. Now this is a state that knows how to live!!
Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. Mountains and deserts blended
together. What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket.
It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.
June 14th
Really heating up. Got to 100° today. Not a problem. Live in an
air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see
the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a real
sun worshipper.
June 30th
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and
rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing for me. Another scorcher
today, but I love it here.
July 10th
The temperature hasn't been below 100° all week. How do people get used to
this kind of heat? At least it's a dry heat. Getting used to it is taking
longer than I expected.
July 15th
Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.)
Missed two days of work, what a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson
though: got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
July 20th
I missed Tabby (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning.
By the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Tabby had swollen up to the
size of a shopping bag and exploded all over
$2,000 worth of leather upholstery. I told the kids she ran away. No more
pets in this heat!
July 25th
Dry #@*&$!% heat?! Hot is hot!! The home air-conditioner is on the fritz
and AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to
order parts.
July 30th
Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. $1,500 in house
payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
Aug 4th
115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and
gets the temperature down to about 90°. Stupid repairman. I hate this
#@*&$!% state.
Aug 8th
If another wise guy cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going to tear
his #@*&$!% throat out. By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling
over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like Roasted #@*&$!%
Garfield!!
Aug 10th
The weather report might as well be a recording: Hot and sunny. It's been
too hot to #@*&$!% for two months and the weatherman says it might really
warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this barren desert?? Water
rationing has been in effect all summer, so $1,700 worth of cactus just
dried up and blew into the #@*&$!% pool. Even a cactus can't live in this
heat.
Aug 14th
Welcome to Hell!!! Temperature got to 123° today. Forgot to crack the
window and blew the #@*&$!% windshield out of the Lincoln. The installer
came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My husband had to
spend the $1,500 house payment to bail me out of jail.
Aug 30th
Worst day of the summer. I'm not leaving the house. The #@*&$!% monsoon
rains finally came and all they did is to make it muggier than hell. The
Lincoln is now floating somewhere in Mexico with its new $500 windshield.
That does it, we're moving to Illinois for some peace and quiet.
