While I’m not going to complain about the hazy, hot and humid weather we’ve had for the last couple of days, I will mention it. I spent far too much time complaining about the winter and doubting that it would ever get warm to be allowed to complain about the heat now. In my book, you really can only kvetch about one of them. I choose the cold. I actually don’t mind the heat, if we work our way up to it. Damn it though it never seems to work like that around here. Two weeks ago I was wearing a coat to work and debating if I should take scarf and mittens with me. Last week I could get away with a light sweater and well Ribby spent most mornings being worn and then schlepped home. So did we get a slow ramp up to sweltering? Nope. One week. Saturday morning’s overnight storm cleared up to be humid. Summer humid. Yesterday? Forget it. Here’s the forecast for this afternoon.
This Afternoon…Partly cloudy…Hot and humid. A chance of showers and thunderstorms late. Some thunderstorms May produce damaging winds…Hail and heavy rainfall. Highs around 90. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50 percent.
Tomorrow reads much the same. Glad I’m knitting with cotton these days. Or at least having found a cotton that I can happily knit with.
It was the perfect time to start another project. Anyone who doubted that I would do it after my last post, just doesn’t know me very well. 
The biggest question really was which color was I going to use. Would I stick with my venture into COLOR or fall back on one of my defaults. I couldn’t decide which of the two yellow family colors I (Orkney or Citron) so I opted for the Slick. I should look oh so sophisticated with the white capris I bought during lunch at Old Navy. Stylin’ I am. Its a very fast knit and I have to say, I do love the All Seasons Cotton. The seasonal temperatures only emphasized my need for a good summer top. Now if I could only find a good summer top for the Habu Bamboo yarn that I have sufficient yardage for, I’d be a very happy camper.
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes on the sick monkeys. After some 24 hours of the fevers, they both awoke Sunday "cool as cucumbers" as my grandma used to say. I wasn’t going to push their activity levels yesterday and we stuck inside. I managed to do my food shopping online after breakfast as they tore apart the living room behind me. It wasn’t until we went out at 3 to pick up the groceries that I had any clue how damn warm it was. My apartment is on the ground floor (concrete slab for the foundation is my subfloor) mostly on the north side of the building so it remains comfortable inside except on the most humid of days, or if you’re moving around a bit. It was after getting the twins in for naps, the groceries all in from the car and put away that I really noticed that I was sweating glistening. I gave in and turned on the central air. Yup. One of the selling features of my smaller than I desire apartments. I have central air AND a washer/dryer in my apartment. Makes up for the noise made by the HORDE of people who live upstairs from me and don’t seem to believe in carpets. Nor do they believe in leaving the furniture in one spot for more than 15 minutes. I could swear they have a bowling tournament every night with part of the festivities to see who can lob the heaviest ball the furthest. Okay, I might exaggerate a smidge, but it is noisy living under 6 adults, 2 children and a guard-dog. I’d move but I couldn’t come anywhere near the amenities for what I’m paying (noise amenity aside). At least we’re cool with clean clothes!
