Hot Hot Hot

Today in Long Beach the (actual) high was 111 degrees Farenheit - tying the record for highest temperature EVER recorded! (That's 44 degrees Celcius, by the way...) In downtown LA, it reached 113F, breaking their previous record! The normal high for this time of year, by the way, is 82F. It's 75 degrees out right now, at 11:20 pm.

Did I mention that I don't have a fan yet? I was going to get one after some hot days in summer, but then it cooled way down and I decided to not "waste money"...dumb! So I spent my afternoon today driving around looking for a fan, only to find they're "seasonal" items and no longer in stock. I bought one online, it should be here next week. I'm sure it'll be cooler then, but hey, I'm sure it'll be hot next summer even if it isn't this winter. Plus I can focus it on my bed and cuddle under my nice warm covers at night and pretend it's Christmas.

So it was SO hot today that when I walked into my bathroom tonight to go shower, I saw THIS:


My immediate thought: "Oh no! The Exorcist demon is in my shower!" But it wasn't - what actually happened was my (very expensive) Lush therapy solid massage bar AND my buffy solid body butter had completely melted and oozed down my shower. I've gotten the worst of it cleaned up, but it's still depressing.



Oh, and speaking of pictures, here's the second pan-fried steak I made:

Mmm...making me hungry!

This heat is so nuts - I couldn't sleep til about 5 am this morning (it was cool from about 5 am til 7 am and sunrise) so I was soo tired in class today - and I took my codeine last night!!
Okay, I have an early class tomorrow and I'm showered, so I'm going to bed, and praying I can sleep.

Sweet dreams!
