AMPERSANDS + ACROBATS: The week I realize I must always have AC.

So I don't even know where to begin because it seems so long since my last post. All that comes to my mind when I try to recap the past couple weeks is heat. HOT HOT HOT. That's the only thing that seems to have made any impact on my brain as of late. I know that's not completely true but it's been pretty traumatic here in western Michigan... I don't believe I've actually gotten angry because of hot temperature before. I think the highest it got was around 103?? It was the first week in July!! It's pretty wimpy and pathetic, I'm sure, compared to other southern states/countries. But not having air conditioning and trying to get a decent night sleep in my 95 degree bedroom, is pretty much mission impossible. Plus watching the kitties pant was heartbreaking.

I literally couldn't take things anymore, so I finally went home to TC for the weekend. For some reason, it seems like forever since I've been there. And it felt soooooo good. My parents' house looks spotless now that my sister and I don't live there anymore. haha My punchy colored bedroom and bathroom look like a room from a very modern, bright hotel. Everything painted over in white or light silvery gray. Goodbye lime, pink, and orange. The AC was blasting to the point I could actually sleep under blankets at night. My parents took me to lots of my favorite places. And it was so nice to hug a fuzzy Benzi boy. :)
